Welcome to my blog

Sometimes I hear people say: “Nobody ever died because of working hard”.

Well, I guess that’s not true. Certainly just hard work is fine, even a normal healthy life necessity.

Think of the heart, which works 24 hours a day and that sometimes over more than 100 years. But the heart can only keep this up because it takes a break after each contraction. You could say, yes, but she has to do that otherwise she cannot perform a new contraction. Exactly, it’s as simple as that, if you don’t rest enough after serious physical strain, you can not re-deliver a proper performance. 

You can keep up a lifestyle with to little rest quite some time, but your the quality of your performances will become less and less til you reach a point that it simply stops and you are forced to recover. Think of the weekend headaches, think of burnout.

There are quite a number of people that work themselves into trouble and what happens next is that you lack the energy to take good care of yourself. You start taking fastfood and ready meals. You don’t feel like reading a book or do something to build yourself up and before you know it you find yourself lying on the counch eating trash and watcing trash on tv, in the worst case with a bag of chips. (yes I know how it works)
If you keep up such a lifestyle long enough you have a big chance it will help you dying fast, because this lifestyle helps you to devellop severe chronic deseases like diabetes and cancer.

I myself am a hugh fan of coffee, especially espresso. A highly valued starter each morning. But when -after the first cup- I take a second one and sometimes a third, I get the feeling the coffee is taking over the lead, I get choppy in my movements, there is a slight pressure in my head and I think, “wtf, this is actually a bit too much”. Well, my coffee experiences of course are very interesting but the reason why I am telling you this is that I regularly I meet clients with a muscle strain that seems a bit odd. It’s not like workpressure or stress but something I can not put right. When I ask, in a moment of clarity, wether my client drinks coffee I regularly hear: “Oh yes, all day long, it may mount to 9 or 10!” Alltough my client hasn’t asked for I start giving advice and tell him (98% are man)  it would be wise to reduce their coffee intake till about three in the morning, each accompanied a glass of water, and continue with coffee the next morning with new courage. Some clients rightly think: “mind your own business” but some say: “well that could be a good idea”. The next appointment in these people there appears to be a striking difference in overall tension. The skin is less dry, the body is much more accessible and they feel more fit and more relaxed.

Well I thought that is relevant good news to publish.
