We care for our body today so that we can continue enjoying our life tomorrow.

It’s a rainy day in London today.

After so many dry days, I found myself thinking that perhaps the earth is happy to have some rain too.

Today’s SBM lesson was with two clients who were meeting each other for the first time.

One is now using the intermediate SBM pillow, and the other the advanced pillow. As they practised SBM, they chatted about travelling and their interests, creating a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Both of them are wonderfully active and enjoy many things in life — fashion, travelling, baking and tennis.

We were talking about Christmas holidays when one of them asked,

“I’m thinking of going to ○○ for Christmas. Have you ever been?”

Listening to their conversation made me think about something very simple, but important.

To enjoy life, we need the physical energy to enjoy it.

Travelling, playing tennis, exploring new places, enjoying our hobbies — even planning our next adventure — all require a body that can keep up with the life we want to live.

Looking after our body is not only about dealing with pain or discomfort.

It is also about maintaining the strength, mobility and energy to continue doing the things we love.

That is one of the things I value about SBM.

We care for our body today so that we can continue enjoying our life tomorrow.

Today’s lesson was a lovely reminder that staying active is not simply about exercise.

It is about having the freedom to keep enjoying life.
