eCoach 68: End the Wired to Tired Cycle Now

OK, I hate admitting it, but it’s true: I’m often wired from the moment I wake up until the time my head hits the pillow again way too late at night. And I know I’m not alone.

We live in a wired world where we’re stimulated every waking moment of the day and it’s hard to shut out the noise and just let your body relax.

OK, I hate admitting it, but it's true: I'm often wired from the moment I wake up until the time my head hits the pillow again way too late at night. And I know I'm not alone. We live in a wired world where we're stimulated every waking moment of the day and it's hard to shut out the noise and just let your body relax. In this edition of Coach's Corner, I brought on an expert who can help us slow down, no matter what's going on in our lives. His name is Lee Holden.

Lee is a world-renowned teacher of Qi Gong, Meditation and Holistic Health Care Practices. Lee is the owner of a successful holistic health center in Santa Cruz, California.

As an acupuncturist and Doctor of Chinese Medicine, Lee has figured out how to translate Eastern medicine for our modern Western lives and he's been doing this work for over 28 years. https://www.holdenqigong.com/

Would you follow a series of simple movements and breathing exercises, if it increased your energy and lowered your stress?

Qi Gong has been called “the Art of Effortless Power.” I think that’s one of the reasons I like it so much; as an athlete, I’m so used to pushing, straining, and exerting effort in order to get results. Qi Gong is a wonderful counterpoint to this, because the more you relax, the more energy and vitality you get from the practice.

Qi Gong is a type of exercise that works exceptionally well for dads, because we’re getting older, our bodies are deteriorating, and we don’t have a lot of extra time. The reason you see so many old dudes doing Qi Gong is because it becomes more valuable to your creaky joints as you age.

“There is a lot more to Qi Gong than meets the eye. Like an iceberg, what you can see and witness in a Qi Gong practice is only the surface of a much deeper and potent internal power. Qi Gong is simple: it requires no equipment, little space, and can be practiced in a short amount of time. Yet simple as it seems, Qi Gong brings an incredible amount of healing power to the practitioner.” - Lee Holden
