Hi!

“Suffering follows an evil thought as the wheels of a cart follow the oxen that draws it.”

Wise man, that Buddha. Sat under a tree and decided not to move until he had figured the whole thing out. What thing? The life as a human thing.

He took himself out of the human experience – the world of space and time, this and that, you and me – and found that little piece of string that holds it all up.

The Germans have a word – schadenfreude – which means to take that little bit of joy in another’s misfortune. It’s complicated, but it's genuinely funny. The Old Testament God takes this to a whole n'other level. Prime candidate number one: the story of Abraham sacrificing his son.

I think most of us are familiar with this story. Adam is living it large in the garden paradise of Eden when he munches some bad apples and him and his children and their children forever and ever and ever have to say sorry until everyone dies. I was never comfortable with any part of this story. What was the moral of the story?

I went to live in a Buddhist monastery near Rome. It follows a Thai-forest tradition of Theravada Buddhism, which means monks spend much of their days practicing walking-meditation as they wander through thick Italian forests dissected by freshwater streams and the occasional olive grove. But it is not all about meditation.

Travel in Europe is not what it used to be. Not this year. That’s what the news tells us. But if you happen to be one of the lucky ones who ventured out of the ever-shrinking national-international-lockdown-isolation-quarantine, you may well have been surprised to see that the bees are still buzzing and the ducks are still quacking.

Enrico set up a fire pit as the sun slowly put her head down over the foothills of the Italian Alps. In midsummer, the evenings stay warm enough for us to sit out all night. The nearest neighbour is over a hill a half mile away. Or 0.8Km away. We are in Italy, after all. The only sound is the gentle breeze carrying the howl of a distant wolf in the mountains.

Stay in, stay home and keep apart. Same advice every day. Stay in. Stay home. Keep apart. That’s how we save ourselves. It’s how we save each other. It’s how we save the world. Well, not everyone’s got a home. Some people can’t stay in. Some people are out, and not by choice.

The Jungle in Calais doesn’t officially exist anymore. It was a slum on the coast of northern France where refugees used to squat whilst they tried to sneak their way into the UK. Some would stay days, some would be there years. But not a day went by where they didn’t try to jump onto a lorry and hide themselves away in the hope of reaching the other shore.

From hectic schedules to demanding workloads, no one can escape daily stressors. Some people have realized how they can handle such stressors by taking rest days, but a mental health break may not be enough for others.

Mental health is the umbrella by which all forms of our well-being belong to. There’s psychological, emotional, and social well-being.

Our mental health is gauged by how we make our choices, how we feel, how we think, and how we act.

Thanks to the rise of mental health awarenes

If you think being vegan and a bodybuilder is incompatible, think again. You may be surprised that many bodybuilders follow a vegan diet. Probably the most famous vegan bodybuilder of all is Robert Cheeke. He is ripped and does it all on plant power.

So long as you get the protein right, there’s nothing to prevent you from staying fit, healthy, and capable of adding lean muscle mass. The great thing about veganism is that there is an abundance of information about how to do it right. There is n
