Everyone who cares about health, performance, and longevity should be required to read this piece from @sweatscience.

An absolute master class by @BStulberg in ‘change’ and how we navigate a world where everything is changing including us. Love the analogy of a path (versus a road) and the concept of ‘rugged flexibility’ - being tough and durable but are open to new possibilities 🌱🌳🌄🦋

It’s so critical that we continue planting seeds 🌱🌱🌱
Reread Becoming Mobius, a truly excellent book by @debrakidd this week - a timely reminder of the importance of improvisation, optimism and becomings: “Hope is always in the process of becoming.”
