Kung Fu Fighting To De-stress?
January 31, 2009
"So what was the last movie you watched?" Interestingly enough I was asked this twice and honestly a week ago I could not tell you – because I could not even remember when was the last time I watched a movie. Fortunately, I have had a few days of holiday to catch up on being "sane" again and did manage to watch a DVD together with the family.
If you are busy like me then perhaps you too would not have listened to the bonus audio that was given to you as a gift on my homepage. Then I would say, make time and listen to it now. It only takes you 30 minutes or so and the benefits you get out of it will be worth your while.
Go, get it now here.
So back to the last movie that you watched. If you have to think hard into blank space then I suggest you choose one movie and go watch it with your children at the next chance you get.
As the only female at home surrounded by 2 die hard TaeKwonDo fans cum brown-belt brothers and 5 nephews in their youth, you can well imagine that the last movie we watched had nothing to do with romance or comedy, the vote went to "Yong Chun" Kung Fu. Yes bare-handed kung fu fighting.
While the guys were all excited with the moves and the kicks, I was getting all tensed up with the fights and the plot and quite frankly would have preferred not to need to watch it at all. Yet the guys found such relief and fulfillment in the moves. I can tell they were all loving it and getting a kick out of it. I think they get as much relief and relaxation out of the movie as I did tension and stress!
That makes me wonder. Do we know your stressors?
Do you know what triggers your anxieties and tension?
Or what would bring your relief and enjoyment?
How would you know yourself better so as to lead a calmer and more fulfilling life?
If you want to know how you can get greater awareness of yourself and how you may be able to better handle the stress in your life, click here and claim your bonus gift. You don’t need to wait another day.

Leave me your thoughts on my "Happiness Has No Key" post and share your wisdom. And if you like you can also share with me your definition of happiness on this post. I Love to hear from you.

Human seems to be a fundamental pursuit of some level of happiness. And so, we greet each other "Happy New Year", "Happy Birthday" and "Happy Anniversary". What exactly are we wishig for others? What would make them happy?
