Seminar Scholarships

January 23, 2017 by Matt Furey

We are now less than ten days away from The Undiscovered Secrets Seminar – an event wherein Ted Nicholas and myself will be teaching you how to be FAR more than a best-selling author and a professional human being.

We’re going to teach you longevity secrets, for body, mind and book.

Think of it: Everyone who is honest wants to be remembered, wants to be significant and important.

Being an author fulfills all of the above. Plus it gives you an opportunity to travel the world, to go where others don’t dare.

With less than ten days to go, I’ve come across a novel way to move a fortunate few into this sensational seminar.

For years people have asked if I have “scholarships” to any of my events.

The answer was always an unequivocal “no.”

But this year I’ve had a change of heart as I’ve discovered a way to offer this seminar to those who are not yet enrolled.

I only have a few scholarships to give out – so you’re going to need to act immediately.

If you really want to attend this seminar, write my office directly by replying to this email, and tell me the best true tale you can, i.e. your story, and why you deserve a scholarship to this event.

Currently I have some partial scholarships to award – and one FULL RIDE.

And by the way, if you write me in cursive, scan your letter and email it to me, this will carry more weight than a typed email or a letter that was written in print.

You may find this strange, yet this is one of the “big reveals” to be uncovered at The Undiscovered Secrets Seminar.

Jump on this now, my friend. I will be rendering my decisions on scholarships later this week.

No Resolutions – No Goals

January 1, 2017 by Matt Furey

If you’ve already written out a list of goals or New Year’s Resolutions for the year, there’s still time to make an adjustment that’ll make a HUGE contribution in your journey toward self-actualization.

We can immediately tweak the potential damage you’ve already done, provided you’re willing to take three deep breaths and give me your concentrated attention.

Here we go:

Inhale through your nose while imagining your entire body as a set of lungs. Pull the inhale all the way down to your feet.

Good.

Now exhale through your mouth, letting this inhale out with effortless ease.

Repeat the above three times.

Fantastic.

Now that your mind is clearer and you’re more relaxed, let’s start the New Year off with a BANG.

Contrary to what many erroneously believe, starting the year with gusto is NOT done by writing out goals or resolutions, at least not if you want to create a surge of unstoppable momentum.

No sir-ee.

This is why I say the first order of business is to recall and review, and do so with a pen in hand and several sheets of paper before you.

What do you recall and review?

Great question.

You recall what you’re grateful and thankful for about the preceding year (or years).

Begin making a list of at least 10 events, experiences or things you’re grateful for about your life that took place last year.

If you’re drawing a blank, then you’ve proven my point. You’re in no position to be starting the year off with goals or resolutions.

As Emerson once wrote, “Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.”

This means if you have no gratitude you are also grossly deficient in enthusiasm.

Why?

Be-cause gratitude is the fuel that puts your life into a state of mellifluous flow.

Gratitude supercharges your emotional state and makes it relatively easy for you to imagine and feel positive possibilities manifesting in the future NOWS of your life.

Still can’t come up with anything to be grateful for?

Then consider the following uestion:

“What would you object to having removed from your life?”

If you were to have your sight, hearing or ability to taste removed, would you object?

If so, you better consider these senses as something you’re grateful for.

How about if you were to have your home, your vehicle(s), the clothes on your back or in your dresser or closet taken away?

Are you fine with that?

If so, either give them away or be grateful for having them.

How about your ability to walk, talk and remember?

Don’t care about them?

Oh, you do?

Very good. Be grateful for them because there are plenty of people with dementia who, if they could still remember, would wish to have these skills back.

I first arrived at the conclusions shared with you in this email while on board a plane back to the U.S. of A.

A New Year was upon us, so I took out a pad to write my goals for the New Year.

For some odd reason I couldn’t do so.

Instead, I felt compelled to recall and review what was already good about my life.

My list ended up covering well over 100 items and the mere act of putting this list on paper with a pen in hand created a surge of joy and euphoria that was unmistakable.

In coaching calls with clients I began sharing this technique and the results were off the charts compared to starting the year with goals and/or resolutions.

Everyone achieved far faster than ever before – and did so while maintaining a pleasant state of equanimity and harmony.

Today, I’m sharing this wisdom with you and I sincerely believe you’ll be amazed at how good you will feel as your list gets longer and longer.

Take a few days on this.

Start NOW but continue to add to the list over the course of a few days.

Reread the list each day. Form a mental image of each memory and play it for a few seconds.

Then stand back and behold as the seas part and your life begins to move forward.

At this positive feeling builds within you, you’re ready to craft some goals.

I’ll be covering more on the subject of goals and how to achieve them in the near future.

In the interim…

See it. Feel it. Do it.

Matt Furey

P.S. I’ll be covering an awe-inspiring A-Z on the above and much more at the seminar Ted Nicholas and I are having next month in Tampa. Make sure you’re part of this monumentally ganrgantuan positive life-changer. Currently you can enroll for 50% off the total amount, but as seats are snatched, the fee will go up. Enroll NOW and BE PART of something BIG.

Go to Bed Late – Get Up Early

December 16, 2016 by Matt Furey

If you’re looking for motivation or inspiration to get more done in less time, consider going to bed a bit later – and/or getting up earlier than usual.

Allow me to explain:

Several months ago, I made a decision to get up earlier than usual and slide out the door to walk a minimum of three miles.

This may appear to be an easy task, but I’m a “late to bed” moonlighting type of guy, so I’ve never practiced, believed in or advised others to get up at 5 AM or to go to bed early.

Yes, I realize there are many successful people who swear that getting up early is the hallmark of their success. Similarly, I’m simultaneously aware of the masses who get up early each day and receive no tangible or verifiable benefits.

Additionally, there are many legendary historical figures who worked creatively into the night – as well as innovators who discovered new pathways after midnight.

As a practitioner of Chinese internal martial arts, and a student of Taoist teachings on health and longevity, I’m aware of how the grandmasters have taught for centuries that the power hours of each day are 11 PM – 1 AM and 11 AM – 1 PM.

Think of the person taking a “power lunch” or the innovators and creators who were working after midnight to bring something new into existence. There may not be many of them, but I believe they enjoy a secret that few are aware of.

Personally, many of my best products were either created or finished in the late-evening, early-morning hours, and to celebrate the accomplishment, I slept in.

The ancient Taoists meticulously tracked everything they did, and as a result I was taught, by more than one master teacher, that every hour you spend in dedicated practice, espccially in the evening from 11 PM -1 AM, you obtain the equivalency of two hours of benefits in the form of “internal power.”

If you train for an hour – you get two hours of benefits. If you go for two hours – you get four.

I realize that this structure doesn’t necessarily appeal to those who believe you should get up at 5 AM each day or that you must have eight or nine hours of sleep per day to be a peak performer – yet, I believe there are some definite similarities to the approach.

Here are a few I can verify:

1. You’ll find it infinitely easier to engage in deep concentrated work because the majority of the world is sleeping,

2. You’ll be less prone to interruptions and trivial matters that anyone with a third-grade education can handle.

3. You’ll gain psychological and spiritual benefits, in part because you feel a sense of achievement just from the realization that most people are in bed already.

So, as you can probably see, if I’m going to be up until midnight or later, it’s inconceivable that I should also get up early to go for a jaunt.

Yet, intuitively, I felt this was a shift I needed to and wanted to make.

Upon contemplating the situation, I became aware that following this approach would result in a five or six-hour sleep pattern, rather than the eight or nine hours I was used to getting.

I then thought of something novel and made a psycho-spiritual shift in how I used my imagination as well as how I was utilizing my frontal lobes, the part of the brain involved in planning, organization and the prioritization of one’s day.

I put my ideas on paper in a hand-written journal I keep, then I set my timer to awaken at 5:55 AM, and made an agreement with myself to be out the door within 10 minutes.

When morning came the rebellious side of me that was intent on hitting the snooze button was unbelievably incorrigible.

What are you doing? Who do you think you are, Furecat? You don’t get up this early. This is absolutely stupid. Hit the snooze button and go back to sleep. This is crazy. You already walk five miles a day, you don’t need to do it at THIS HOUR.

As I was about to hit the snooze button, an illuminating awarness flashed before me.

I noted the precise mental picture I had just imaged.

The go-back-to-bed voice I was hearing was mostly a mental image, a mental picture of myself snoozing. At that moment I crafted an idea to transform the image of myself snoozing to one of me getting up and going outdoors for a walk.

This simple change in how I was using my imagination made it incredibly easy to follow through on my plans.

As a result I’m now able to get even more done in less time – so much less that I now do something truly mind-blowing.

I can cover this for you in a future dispatch if you’re game for it.

Or you can apprise yourself of all the nitty-gritty details at my seminar in February.

Until then…

See it. Be it. Have it.

Matt Furey

P.S. I’m thinking that no one reading this email can picture himself or herself in some area of life wherein you’d love to make a change for the better and move to the next level. But then again, maybe you do want to get more done in less time. If so, enroll in the seminar I’m doing with the legendary Ted Nicholas this February in Tampa. It will transform your life in a way unimaginable in common hours.

It’s Way Worse Than You Think

December 14, 2016 by Matt Furey

Back in 1995, when I first heard Ted Nicholas speak, he mentioned that the average Americanspends 21 hours per week watching television.

Naturally, Ted followed by asking, “Just think what you could do with your life if you used those 21 hours productively.”

When I mentioned the 21 hours to a friend recently, he cleared his throat and crowed, “Matt, it’s way worse than you think. It’s closer to five hours a day.”

Nah, couldn’t be. So I investigated further, and to my astonishment, my friend was verifiably correct.

But wait, I found the statistics to be way worse than he stated as well.

In an article published by the New York Daily News, March 5, 2014, the average American watches MORE than five hours of television per day.

Here was the breakdown by age group:

Ages – Time spent watching tee-vee

2-11: 24 hours, 16 minutes

12-17: 20 hours, 41 minutes

18-24: 22 hours, 27 minutes

25-34: 27 hours, 36 minutes

35-49: 33 hours, 40 minutes

50-64: 43 hours, 56 minutes

65 plus: 50 hours, 34 minutes

As you peer at the numbers shown above, you can now readily understand why so many people “don’t have time” for you or anything else. They are truly “busy.”

Over the past 479 days, here’s the short list of activities I found time for, mostly due to not watching television:

* Increased Daily Walking to a minimum of 5 miles

* Relearned how to write cursive and do so in a daily journal

* Learned to write cursive ambidextrously as well as in mirror image

* Worked on memorizing the Powers of 2 and the digits of Pi

* Learned to bowl left-handed as part of my ambidexterity training – and am happy to report that this experiment in going exceptionally well. Last night I bowled a 203 left-handed. My best right-handed score is 193. This proves that the non-dominant side of the body, when trained, can and often does exceed the dominant side.

* Delved much deeper into martial arts, in particular Taiji Quan. More specifically, I’ve made two trips to Chen Village in China to immerse myself in the daily training and culture.

* Greatly improved my ability to speak Chinese.

* Started growing and cultivating bonsai trees. Watching nature grow before your eyes helps you see behind the mysteries of life in much greater detail.

* Improved hand-eye coordination and reaction speed by using various hammers and clubs.

* All of the above, and much more, changed my metabolism, made me younger, quickened my mind – and as unbelievable as this may sound, caused me to grow. My hands are now much larger and thicker than they have ever been.

Again, this is the short list, but I think you can easily comprehend the implications and positive ramifications of shunning time before the tee-vee.

Whether you choose to do similarly is not my business, but if you do want to follow along, I beleive you’ll enjoy the rewards of doing so far beyond what you can currently fathom.

See It. Do It. Have It.

478 Days In a Row is Nothing

December 13, 2016 by Matt Furey

I guess I shouldn’t gloat about going 478 days without watching television.

Why?

Because a barrage of people wrote me after reading yesterday’s dispatch, and they put me to shame.

Well, not really, but I hope you see how inspired I am by their words.

One man, Mark, quickly calculated that he’s gone 7,300 days without tee-vee. That’s 20 years.

Another gent, Mike, wrote to say how he’s gone nine years without it – then explained the following: “If you turn off the t.v. for just one hour per day, you get nine 40-hour weeks of free time. Time to get in shape, study a new subject, learn a new language.”

Then there was another Mike, this one from Hawaii, who is currently 72 years young. He gave up television at age 21, so he’s got 50 years on me.

Mike writes, “No TV is the gift that keeps on giving.”

Best of all, though, was the unexpected text from a friend, who sent before and after pictures of his home, with and without a television. He tossed it out within minutes of reading my email.

This is the type of unexpected response you can receive when you unabashedly let others know about some of the decisions you’ve made, and why.

Another favorite took place last July, when I met with Matt, at his former home in Georgia.

I told Matt how I’d gone almost a year without tee-vee and how much better I am without it. I remarked how I went many years without one, starting in my collegiate days – but fell for it after getting married.

And then when my children got involved in sports, I went deeper and deeper into the television abyss.

I justified doing so, too, by stating that because they were involved in sports, it helped keep me aware of what was happening in the “game.”

Oddly enough, if you were to ask me if I watched television, I would have replied this way: “No, I ONLY watch sports.”

As if sports don’t count.

With this in mind, I have great empathy for those who tell me they don’t watch television, then say, “I only watch Netflix.”

“What do you watch your Netflix on?” I question.

“Uh, I have a plasma.”

“Oh, I see,” I smile. “You’re off the hook, then. You don’t even own a television. You have a plasma.”

Yes, these are real conversations I’ve had numerous times.

Anyway, back to Matt in Georgia.

Just as it’s not my job or my mission to reduce the number of tee-vee watchers in the world, it was not my intention to influence Matt in anyway. Yet, a month later, after he moved, he called to relate that there’s no tee-vee in his new home. He remarked how the home is so much more peaceful and how his children get along better than ever.

Personally, I gave up television for three reasons:

1. I wanted to increase personal productivity, to learn new skills, to acquire new talents, to get more done in less time. Not only has this happened, but it’s now extended into me doing more career-wise.

2. I became alarmed at the scientific information linking many diseases, including diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, sleep disorders, attention disorders, Alzheimer’s, dementia – even E.D. – to television watching.

3. I wanted to challenge myself to see if I could give something up that nearly everyone views as normal and essential. Can I live joyously without television and will my life be better without it?

The answers to the above are definitively affirmative.

In the future I’ll delve into my opinions about social media and other related matters.

Until then…

See It, Do It, Have It,

Fake News

December 12, 2016 by Matt Furey

Today marks 477 days without television.

You read the above correctly. No tee-vee for me, for four hundred seventy-seven days.

This abstention from hypnosis via the “idiot box” also includes not watching professional sports such as the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and so on.

This means I must either read about what is supposedly going on – or hear about it through the grapevine. Or, if it’s particularly urgent, I can view a very quick clip online, then move on.

About a week ago I started hearing about “fake news.”

Now that’s an interesting term, especially when you consider that almost everything about television is fake.

I’m not just talking about the WWE either.

As the “E” in the above states, it’s “entertainment” – yet the masses plop before the box each day to watch something choreographed and quite possibly predetermined.

Based upon the above, I spend my time away from the television. I don’t turn it on and if it is on when I go somewhere, I avoid looking at it.

Now, you might wonder why I stopped watching television. There are many reasons – but foremost is that it’s designed to be so incredibly addictive that once I start watching, I get nothing done.

My workouts get put on hold. I stop reading. I communicate less with those around me – and then I start feeling lousy. Yet, once the news and sports and entertainment are not a part of my life, I am vibrantly alive and filled with creativity once again.

This leads me to believe the real “fake news” is the news playing inside your brain. The fakery that tells you that you’re nothing, a nobody, that you can’t do anything remarkably well.

Once you turn off the chattering box in the room, the REAL YOU manifests and begins to take charge of your life. Amazingly, you start feeling ALIVE once again.

You feel inspired to live a happier, healthier and more creative life. Your productivity increases and people react to you differently.

You have time to do the things you’ve always wanted to do but weren’t pursuing because your attention was gobbled up by the listless, passive and depression-inducing inactivity of watching television.

Perhaps you’ve always wanted to get yourself into incredible condition, or you’ve wanted to write a book or travel the world.

All of the above are much more easily accomplished when you free yourself from the box.

Challenge yourself to see how many days you can go without. Well over a year ago I was on Day One.

Now I’m on Day 477.

It’s amazing how the days add up when you live them with creativity, and keep track in a hand-written journal each day.

Indubitably, this path is not for everyone – but if you feel an urging in your soul to follow along, then I’m with you.

Matt Furey

P.S. I’ve just revealed to you one of the big keys to getting stuff done, including writing a book. Now let’s see you take the next step by attending my seminar in February. The fee for this event is going up later this week, possibly tomorrow, so jump on this NOW and enjoy the deep discount.

The Power of Obsessive-Compulsives

December 7, 2016 by Matt Furey

One of the worst pieces of advice ever given is the admonition to practice moderation in everything.

Balderdash.

If you want to get good at something, moderation is not the key that’ll get you there. Yet, this philosophy prevails and millions are harmed by it.

The other day I told a coaching member, “The masses are programmed for mediocrity and therefore will condemn those who work toward excellence.”

Granted, being obsessed does have pitfalls – but being mediocre at everything you do, that produces an unnecessary psychological inferiority that lingers into infinity.

I will readily and unabashedly admit to being obsessed with getting good at whatever I put my hands on. If it weren’t for a daily schedule, I would be out of control very easily, completely lost in a world of
ONE THING.

The other night I went bowling. Twas “all you can bowl night” – which is perfect for someone who’s obsessed. I went there with the intention of only bowling five games. After five games I agreed to another, and another and another.

I ended up closing the place down at midnight after bowling 17 games.

This can be a HUGE pitfall when you have a list of 17 other activities you want to get good at doing as well. So I limit myself to two days a week of bowling, for now. I practice moderation in this activity and train my mind to get good at it with less practice – otherwise I don’t have time for tai chi, or stretching, or writing, or coaching clients – ALL of which, unsurprisingly, I want to get better at. No, that’s too weak. I don’t just want to get better – I want to get good.

After good – very good – and after very good, GREAT.

I’ll have more on this subject soon, but just want to let you know, if you’re working your tail off to get good at something and someone tells you that you have OCD, tell him this, “You make it sounds as though it’s a bad thing.”

Be it. Do it. Have it.

Turns Imagination Into Reality

December 2, 2016 by Matt Furey

Throughout the ages the great ones disagree on a number of topics, but when it comes to the use of your imagination and the power of your thoughts, they get into single file.

“Imagination is more important thank knowledge.” – Albert Einstein

“You can’t depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.” – Mark Twain

“Imagination is the elixir of life.” – P.T. Barnum

“The power of imagination makes us infinite.” – John Muir

I can go on and on with examples such as these, but perhaps my favorite is the way my wife would say it:

“No imagination – no food.”

Oh yes, the naysayers scramble, sneer and squirm as they opine: “You really think your imagination helps you create what you want? How can it do so.”

These questions, incidentally, are from the same people who scoff about the importance of breathing, as if your very life doesn’t depend upon it.

The mere questioning of the power of imagination shows a clear misunderstanding and ignorance of how the human brain works. What the scoffers are essentially saying is, “I don’t think my brain has anything to do with anything I do.”

They’re also revealing, without realizing it, that they have no idea what a hippocampus is, or the frontal lobes, or where their memories and knowledge are stored.

My favorite line is when the sneerers say, “I don’t think about it. I just do it.”

Really?

So you took action without any thought whatsoever?

How is that possible? Explain that one to me so I can present it to my neighbor, who happens to be a neuroscientist.

Another great line comes from those who study Eastern thought: “You teach all this self-image stuff – but the reality is there is no self.”

To this statement I reply: “Is there a spirit or a soul?”

“Oh yes, you have a spirit and a soul. There just isn’t a self.”

“Great, so call it soul-image if that makes you feel better.”

To recap, these so-called intellectuals believe your imagination doesn’t serve a valuable purpose, it’s just loitering in the lobby of your brain. Deep breathing is not important because you can survive on very shallow breaths. And best of all, there is no self.

Let me give you the straight scoop from personal and professional experiences, wherein I’ve succeeded at a high-level in several endeavors:

When you are blocked, when you can’t seem to achieve, when you can’t get good grades, when you can’t get yourself to take action, when you don’t believe you can get physically fit or accomplish something BIG – you need a revamping of your imagination.

Jump into action all you want. Use your will power as much as you can.

And soon, you’ll run out of steam and be out of gas.

With your use of IMAGINATION, however, you tap into the seemingly infinite and unlimited powers of the brain.

Show me the mental images you have ruminating in your brain and I’ll easily and accurately predict where you’re heading in life.

Let me hear the way you speak about yourself and your life and I’ll quickly ascertain the type of results you can expect to achieve.

I’ll close now by repeating my wife’s line, which really should be a Chinese Proverb:

“No imagination – no food.”

Matt Furey

P.S. Want to learn how to use your imagination in a way that puts the food you want on your table, the kind of clothes you want on your body, and the kind of home you want to house yourself and your family? This is a small part of what will be revealed at The Undiscovered, Unrevealed and Unparalleled Secrets Seminar being held in February. I look forward to seeing you there.

Walking With Sasquatch – Losing a Friend

December 1, 2016 by Matt Furey

Last week, toward the end of one of my walks, I called to speak with my treasured friend, Mark.

Mark lives in San Diego, so an 8 AM call is 5 AM in his area.

My initial call went directly to voicemail. Per usual, I left no message.

Later on I called again. Same result.

Over the next few days I made umpteen calls – all of which went to voice mail immediately.

Now that has never happened before, so I began to get concerned. I continued to call all the numbers I had for Mark, all to no avail.

At 11:38 PM on Monday, after waving goodbye to a friend who was with me for a 3-mile copywriting jaunt, I went in the house and immediately received a text from Mark.

“Ah,” I sighed. “I finally hear from Sasquatch. I wonder how he’s doing.”

I opened the text and the opening words communicated that the sender was someone else.

Twas Mark’s sister, instead.

The news she gave me sent shockwaves through my central nervous system.

Mark was no longer playing Sasquatch in San Diego.

The man who survived not just one, but TWO collisions with 18-wheeler semi-trucks was gone.

I called Mark’s sister and she gave me the details. I started texting everyone I coach who knew Mark on a personal level from our meetings.

Everyone was in shock.

I’m not sure how I slept through the night. The next morning I got up and walked another three miles, during which time I openly sobbed.

Oftentimes, over the years, I’d be talking to Mark as I walked, going over my latest musings and writings, my most recent ideas and breakthroughs.

In fact, when I kept calling Mark all last week, it was to read him the copy I was going to put up about my forthcoming seminar – which HE WOULD BE ATTENDING – as he never missed a Furey seminar, going all the way back to 2005.

Today, as I walk through my home I look at the chair Mark used to plop into when I’d have him over for discussions on tai chi and other martial and fitness disciplines.

Mark had a pair of ears that were always there for me or anyone else.

Each summer I’d visit San Diego, in part because I love the city, but most importantly because I wanted to have a few hours in splendid communication with Mark – as we walked around Gas Lamp district, enjoyed a grass-fed burger, followed by a chewable cigar and a ship-load of laughs.

So long Mark Ferris, my truly treasured friend, the man I dubbed the “Sasquatch from SoCal.” Your presence on this Earth meant the world to me. Rest safely and in peace.

I’ll be thinking of you as I walk.

Matt Furey

P.S. Life can be unpredictable – and often when you least expect it. That’s precisely why I believe in living life to the FULL – with gusto and enthusiasm. That’s exactly why I am having a seminar in February that will teach you how to leave your thumbprint on the world, how to achieve goals and dreams that matter to you and your family.

You have this LIFE – LIVE IT NOW to the very best of your ability. Do things that not only give your life meaning, but leave a legacy while immortalizing the contributions you made.

100 Years of “W”

November 30, 2016 by Matt Furey

“Nobody ever ‘splained it to me the way you just did.”

That’s what a friend and client told me when he came by the home-office for a consultation.

Instead of sitting and talking, we got up and moved. Outdoors – for more than three miles.

The walk didn’t just help him feel better physically; it sharpened his mind. He began thinking better thoughts because the cobwebs were cleared from his noggin. He began thinking with positivity and equanimity. He got into a state of flow.

I’m always puzzled at how someone who signs up for tips on mind power, self-image, goal achievement, and so on – thinks that information on the power of a daily walk, or deep breathing exercises are “irrelevant” to their situation.

Really?

Or those who want fitness information don’t want to hear about the value of walking.

You’re serious?

Walking, as Ted Nicholas always says, is “the unsung HERO of exercise (emphasis mine).”

Want to live 100 or more years in great health? Want to be what the Chinese called “immortal?”

Then you better put one foot in front of the other because the centenarians, by and large, are daily walkers. Three miles is usually the magic number for living to and past 100 in China.

And this three miles daily jaunt is in addition to everything else you’re doing physically.

You can do Combat Conditioning, weight training, boxing, taiji or yoga – and it still doesn’t negate the value of connecting your feet to the Earth.

Walking is good for body, soul and the soles of your feet – which incidentally have all the acupoints for your entire body.

I walk daily before I write.

I walk at night to clear my mind.

And I walk in reverse to rid myself of negative emotion. I dare you to feel angry, aggressive, hostile, violent or sad while walking in reverse. There truly is a reason for the adage, “Take a step back” when someone is upset. When you move backward you give yourself space, room to digest and time to understand what is truly going on.

Does any of the above ever apply to you or anyone you know?

I don’t know how it couldn’t unless you’re not human and in that particular case, you’re probably not reading this.

All for now.

P.S. Another superior exercise for your soul is writing. And I’ll be teaching you how to not only write, but to write so well you command attention in the marketplace for years, perhaps even decades – maybe even way beyond your lifetime. 100 years later?
