What's up brother

Yesterday I arrived in Santiago de Compostela in Spain, after 39 days of hiking the Jacob's way. It was a journey that made me grow in many aspects and I would like to share some of these with you today.

Lessons from the Camino:

1. Travel Light

This can be interpreted both literally and metaphorically. First week I sent my tent to Santiago because I didn't use the tent and the extra weight of it didn't serve any purpose. I continued "decluttering" my backpack until I found the sweet spot regarding weight. This also includes letting go of mental clutter and things that don't serve you.

2. Pray Out Loud

Praying out loud has more to it than praying in silence. When you verbalize something, life is given to it. Prayer helped me to stay centered in turbulent times.

3. Learn How to Rest

Taking a day of hiking to rest is similar to having break days from lifting/work. But the key is to maxx on resting and developing this skill. As someone who is always to get further and wanting to grow, I still need to learn how to rest properly. Sometimes I have had to force myself to rest. What really helps are: stretches, myofascial releases, yoga poses, massages,...

4. Don't Be Attached to Ups/Downs

When something doesn't turn out how you expected to be it is also okay. Allow things to unfold and don't attach yourselves too much to the up's and down's. This is Stoicism 101. Embrace the good moments, know and accept that there are going to be lesser moments. Sometimes life asks you to do nothing at all. Just watch things pass by before taking the next step.

5. It Isn't About the End Destination

Having the end goal in mind and only that ruins the experience. The goal each and everyday is TO DO WHAT IS IN FRONT OF YOU. Be good at performing in the moment.

6. Many Men Simp

Simping is so common. Don't just give attention & energy to a girl that didn't do anything for you. I literally have seen this too many times. Most men do too much for women that won't do anything back in return.

7. Waxxed People Are Still People

So in the beginning of my journey I discovered that everyone in my group was waxed and I wasn't comfortable being to close proximity wise. However I didn't experience any negative side effects of shedding. Most people just believe and do what they have been told, and this doesn't make them 'bad' pple for that. Know where they are coming from, and know that there is no reason to start an argument about it.

8. Most People Are Fucktarded

The amount of fucktards I have seen is just ridiculously high. People that stare at bright blue screens the moment before they go to sleep, people that disinfect shoes of other people because of rona, people that put their masks on when lying in the sun on the beach, people that spray sunscreen when there is little to no sun,... I can go on and on.

9. No Diet Dogma

Traveling makes it hard to eat high quality food. No problem. Just realize that this is going to be like this for a while. Just add in activated charcoal frequently and don't stress about what you eat. Stress is the most corrosive force, it is worse than bad food.

10. Live Intentionally

Live in such a way that it is clear that your actions are preceded by intentions. Don't be mindless, be mindful. Know what you are doing and why you are doing it. Be very prices. Radiate positivity by being a source of it. This makes the world a better place, and you a better man to hang around.

Keep checking these emails as I'm going to write more about my experience and share visually what I have experienced the last 40 days!
