So, let's bring this little report to a close, and onwards in our journey…
There were going to be several other chapters, which I'll leave for another day. I was going to include a chapter on 'the system & conditioning’ for example… slightly more edgy stuff.
But I wanted to keep this a little lighter read along with it being short enough to read through in one sitting. I will certainly be elaborating on that topic and many more on the blog and future reports. But for now this serves as a little continuation from the first book.
I started to write a chapter on 'flow' but couldn't really find the words so will be re-visiting that (although, do check out the BookBabble I did on a book of the same name!)
Also one on exercise, suffice to say; exercise regularly, it's important. This not only helps with your overall health and fitness it has so many benefits (and big ones at that) including helping with getting present, in the moment, engrossed, centred, positive, active.
I would add exercise as a regular habit if you don't already. Start small if necessary. Build. Perhaps try meditation, tai-chi, work on a passion that helps generate feelings of flow and Being.
I have an idea for the third book to be centred around being centred. Being in the moment, staying present and being 100% focused on the particular activity or situation at hand. I think this is so important that a full report needs to be devoted to it. We need to discuss the concepts, their importance and ideas to reach that state consistently. We also need to consider our 'why factor'.
The fourth book will be based around a central chapter of the first book and very important overall concept - the dream chasing paradox. This could be centred around breaking out from your job, working on your own terms or pursuing any endeavour.
We are ultimately seeking some sort of freedom and mastery, whatever that may mean to you, so hopefully that report and any accompanying videos etc will help you and I towards our greater ideals.
I will of course continue to update my blog and website with any great content that may be of use along with - hopefully - some input from others who have ‘made it’ and others who are in the process of trying.
And we will delve far deeper into these topics and more on the blog, in the forums, future reports, videos, podcasts and any other ways we can think of…
Until next time!
