I branch of into different areas whilst writing content for this blog, but I hope I always stay consistent in the belief I have, in the powerful connection there is between diet, mental and physical heath.
I do not have any formal qualification in the field of mental health or nutritional science, I just live through it, around it, over it, and sometimes under it.
I am always challenged to be something more than I am at any given time, the quest to Be, is something that can be a healthy driver or an obsessive negation of human spirit.
Most sportspeople have a driver that is the fuel for dedicating hours of sweat, blood and tears to a given passion.
I wonder what yours is ? can you look past the obvious reasons of you want to be fit and take a challenge. What is the thing that sends you to the pool at 4am in the morning, or gets you on the run track after a hard day at work .
I know I have been challenged to assess my motives and reason to be seen as a Triathlete of late.
I have struggled with an ankle injury for some time now and even with all the effort and work i have put into the rehabilitation I am edging closer to the realization that perhaps my running days are over.
This is not a new thing I have had to ponder on it before, but I had more of an optimistic belief that she’ll be right mate.
No miracle has occurred, as of yet ( hear the strains of I am still waiting in my writing).
This has put the reasoning why I do what I do back in the spotlight. I know that I attach a self worth or image to being an athlete it has been my safe haven from the mediocrity of worldly things.
I can be faster, stronger, fitter, than the next guy.
The warrior instinct allowed to rattle his saber, may sound a bit of the wall but hey!!! that’s what I mean can you truly identify what is your motivator is how attached are you to an emotion that is dependent on being this athlete.
Anyway enough rattling on, I have been having fun this week playing with a couple of social media toys and a good one I have found is over at www.mobatalk .com
It is a twitter type micro blog, but with audio and video capabilities. It still is getting the kinks out so the following audio is a little shaky but click on the thoughtful nutrition link to hear me rattle on about veggies an stuff .
