Wu Wei - How to Transform Your Life by Doing Less

from Living Well Beyond 50 · host Renaissance Qi

Are you tired of starting a new health regime on Monday only to have it fall apart by Friday? At 63, I realized that the 'hustle and grind' mentality that served me in broadcast journalism and the boardroom was actually sabotaging my health.In this episode of Living Well Beyond 50, I share the 2,500-year-old Taoist philosophy that helped me lose 10kg in 3 months without 'attacking' my body: Wu Wei.Wu Wei is the art of 'not forcing.' It’s about flowing like a river around obstacles instead of crashing against them. If you’ve struggled with high blood pressure, cholesterol, or just a general sense of fatigue, it might be because you’re applying too much force and not enough flow.In this video, I break down 3 Wu Wei principles you can use today:Follow the path that is open: Why your 'limitations' are actually just redirections.Consistency over Intensity: How small, natural actions carve canyons.Removing Friction: How to design your life so the healthy choice is the easy choice.I’m Steve, an AUSactive accredited Personal Trainer and former journalist. Join me on my farmlet near Portland, NSW, as we stop fighting the current and start our Personal Renaissance.Start your Renaissance today. https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18KQu67arB/
