Anyone who has ever practiced relaxation, meditation or positive visualization will soon understand how we can slow our heart rates, unwind and remove anxiety. It’s as easy as consciously reversing the process which generated the anxiety in the first place.
In my article, Relax And Count To Five, first published by Stride (The official magazine for Jog Scotland) in 2009, I discuss to apply these same principles during a road race to get your heart and your mind back into the right place to keep running.
I have been travelling regularly, sometimes on the road constantly since I left home to join the British Army at the tender age of 17 more years ago than I care to mention.
Since then I have been in every continent and lost count of the number of countries I have had the pleasure of visiting. From the Silence of the Marlborough Sounds in New Zealand's South Island to the endless noise of the motorbikes, trikes and tuc tucs in several parts of Asia. From the luxury of Dubai to the poverty of Mumbai and everything in between.
Ever since a good friend of mine some time ago encouraged me to step out of the Irish Pubs and off the beaten track into the vibe which fires the hearts and souls of the people amongst whom we travelled, I have never looked back.
Now, I want to share this with you to whet your appetite for what's out there and give what practical pointers I can on how to get there and move around.
By all means read my articles and pictures, enjoy my music and videos and meet me either here or on Social Media. I look forward to meeting you.
