It’s been a while since I last sat down to write a blog post. Life lately has been a swirl of projects, emails, and plans that seem to multiply overnight. But beneath all that busyness, something deeper has been unfolding, a slow, quiet kind of healing. For months, my world revolved around recovery. The crash […]
The quiet comeback of movement For most of my adult life, walking never counted as a “real” workout. I ran. I swam. I biked for hours under the sun. I trained for triathlons, chased speed, and tracked numbers. Walking was what I did between training sessions, not the training itself. But three weeks ago, everything […]
Have you ever noticed how your mood shifts after a meal? Sometimes, after a nourishing bowl of warm soup, I feel grounded and calm. Other times, after rushing through lunch with my laptop open, I feel anxious, restless, and a little hollow. For a long time, I thought it was just being tired or needing […]
The Fear Beneath the Surface For as long as I can remember, I was scared of the water. Not just a little nervous, but truly terrified. The moment my feet could no longer touch the ground, panic took over. My heart raced, my breath shortened, and I hated the feeling of not being in control. […]
A Walk Around the Building A loop around my apartment building is about 500 meters. Normally, that would sound like nothing to me. I’m used to waking up at 5 AM, meditating, stretching, then heading out for a run, swim, or cycling session that lasts two hours or more. Long training sessions are my comfort […]
The Accident That Changed My Routine It’s been almost two weeks since that unexpected accident, the one that fractured the front ribs of my chest. To be honest, when it first happened, I was in shock. I had never broken a bone before, and suddenly my daily rhythm of training, swimming, cycling, and running was […]
The Crash That Changed My Routine It is surprising how quickly life can flip. One day you are training hard, keeping a routine you have built for months or even years. And then suddenly, in just one accident, you are forced to stop. For me, it was a fractured wrist and pain in my chest […]
The Crash That Changed My Season It was supposed to be a fun company bonding event. We all showed up to the go-kart track with excitement buzzing in the air. I had never driven one before, so I wasn’t there to race, just to try something new. But sometimes life surprises us in the harshest […]
The accident I didn’t see coming Last Friday, my company hosted a bonding event at a go-kart track. I had never done go-kart racing before. My intention was simple: go slow, enjoy the ride, and not push for speed. But life doesn’t always follow our plans. On my second round, I misjudged a turn. The […]
The Night I Showed Up Anyway It was 9 p.m., the end of a long day, and I couldn’t stop smiling. My body was tired from training, my hair still carried the scent of chlorine, and yet my heart was full. Why? Because I showed up. That morning started with cycling. By evening, after work, […]
