Description

Are you tired of starting a new health regime on Monday only to have it fall apart by Friday? At 63, I realized that the 'hustle and grind' mentality that served me in broadcast journalism and the boardroom was actually sabotaging my health.
In this episode of Living Well Beyond 50, I share the 2,500-year-old Taoist philosophy that helped me lose 10kg in 3 months without 'attacking' my body: Wu Wei.
Wu Wei is the art of 'not forcing.' It’s about flowing like a river around obstacles instead of crashing against them. If you’ve struggled with high blood pressure, cholesterol, or just a general sense of fatigue, it might be because you’re applying too much force and not enough flow.
In this video, I break down 3 Wu Wei principles you can use today:
Follow the path that is open: Why your 'limitations' are actually just redirections.
Consistency over Intensity: How small, natural actions carve canyons.
Removing Friction: How to design your life so the healthy choice is the easy choice.
