Feeling SAD? 🥶

The Nordic countries are no strangers to the long, dark winter. Despite little to no daylight, people who live in parts of northern Europe have learned how to cope mentally and physically with the annual onset of the winter blues.

Where the Atlantic crashes like a wild animal…
and just a few steps away the world goes silent again.
Salt air. Volcanic rock. Cold water that shuts your mind up and wakes your body right up.
Sometimes you need to stand where two forces meet — the rage of the ocean and the calm of a tide pool — and let the shock pull you back into yourself.
This is Lanzarote on a grey December morning: no filters, no crowds, just breath… and courage in cold water.

Running wild on Lanzarote. We took time out this holiday season to explore . Hike to the top of some volcanos 🌋, do some 🏄 , explore some lava formed tide pools and black sand beaches 🌊, etc. Beats sitting around getting fat on holiday booze and crap! (Although, to be fair, we did some of that too 😃).

Season’s greetings from the Zone! 🌞🌋🌊 🏄‍♂️

Sometimes the holidays aren’t about doing more — they’re about stepping away.
Getting away from the commercialism, the chaos, the grey skies, heavy meals, the endless sugar and booze.

For us this season, that meant sunshine, and salt, surfing and swimming in ancient lava pools… giving our nervous systems and heads some much needed breathing space. Moving, resting, laughing and loving — giving the body and mind a chance to remember what balance feels like.

But you don’t have to climb a volcano to get there. There are plenty of more accessible ways to achieve that kind of wellness. If you need guidance on how to make your holidays (and everyday life) healthier — physically and mentally — we’re here for you!

🏀 Still Got It!

Pulled over in Le Havre, France to stretch the legs, shoot a few hoops with my daughter… next thing I know, I’m one-on-one with a 17-year-old baller (and in my sliders no less!)

He was quick. Sharp. Full of that teenage energy.
But let’s just say — experience still counts for something. 😉

When you’re 53 and you can still hold your own (and sneak a win), it’s not about ego — it’s about vitality. About remembering that play keeps us young.
You don’t stop playing because you get old — you get old because you stop playing.

So go out, move, laugh, sweat, breathe.
Find your zone — and stay in it. 🌿💪
