🏋️ The physical training 🏋️
Training continues to be an important part of my life. Physical training was one of the first parts I started focusing on. Then came mental training. Then came emotional and spiritual training. For me, one cannot exist without the other. It is all part of your entire system, it is an interaction. In my experience, the other layers become unbalanced if I do not pay attention to a layer. If I do not train, this will affect my mental layer, for example. If I do not pay attention to my mental layer, training will be more difficult. If I become emotionally unbalanced, I feel less connected to the spiritual layer.

Now I don't see it that they always have to be perfectly balanced with each other. It's a playing field where you are constantly moving. It's just that in a certain period some layers require more attention and training than others. Ultimately, for me it's all about total fitness. If I look at physicality, I used to train mainly for the ego. I wanted to look good, a belly was not an option and my muscles had to get bigger and bigger. In a not entirely legal way of course, otherwise you couldn't keep up with the rest and you were called small. Now I still train to look fit. I still think that's important, but it's less compelling than before. The uncertainty is still there sometimes, but the shift has been made to training for my total fitness. And where I used to really have to train myself and couldn't skip a training without feeling guilty. I now experience that I can better sense what is needed and I can skip a training without feeling guilty. And that... that's very nice!
