Principle 6: Endurance

This week we take a deep dive into ways we can aim for longevity in the expression of our true selves and highest excitements. We discuss how to overcome the pain teacher, how to be proactive in selecting exposure to life’s physical, mental, and emotional extremes, and how to use the intuition, research, and archetypal role play to remain in alignment with our lifestyle choices over the long term. This is a fun and wide ranging conversation on the philosophy and health benefits of endurance, balance, discipline, voluntary hardship, and pressure testing our beliefs.
