Julia- This is very accurately put: "True wellbeing is not without discomfort." I love this sentence. Took me far too long to learn this the hard way. Did you learn this fairly early in life, Julia?

Such a good write-up about facing away from the over-emphasised rationalisation of physical exercise, or other wellbeing aspects.

Just recently I tried putting something together about what I think is a dead-end direction for mental health:

What I particularly like is that you have highlighted here how people forget that their body, brain and mind are one. There is no real separation, but we have been so conditioned into even believing that the brain is a "separate" entity, or even the leader, from/of the body. '

I have always tried in all my coaching to also pay extra attention to just teaching movement. It is still fascinating to me how we can quickly find a whole lot of movement varieties that cause trouble even to some of the elite athletes are worked with.
