Snowboarding, Fear and The Brain


I was recently on a ski trip with my family and there is nothing like being alone on a snow covered hill to enjoy nature, and be in the moment.

I love snowboarding. I lose time, I learn so much about life, the universe and even myself while boarding and this trip was no exception.
But unlike the last time I went boarding I found myself facing a challenge I was not expecting ~ mind.

I have to back track a bit to explain. I grew up in a family that never downhill skied. I went for the first time in my 20’s and found it difficult. I used to also be terrified of heights and so plummeting down an icy mountain with my boots strapped to planks seemed suicidal.. But I learned. I left those fears behind was eventually confident enough with my snow plow ability to make it down alive.
Fast forward a few years.
After ungracefully disembarking numerous times from numerous chairlifts I decided it would be better for myself and the world at large if I limited the amount of equipment attached to my body. So I made the very smart decision to evolve from 2 narrow skis and 2 poles to one large, wide, board.
Believe me....it made sense at the time.


Weekly Wellness Tips From RMT Kim!

I wanted to share her tip for this week:
Broccoli and brussel sprouts eaten together ; Different phytonutrients in these two cancer fighting vegetables combine to stimulate phase-2 enzymes ( substances known to prevent carcinogens from damaging human DNA). (Based on studies from Karen Collins a nutritonal adviser to the American Institute for Cancer Research. Taken from Brian Clement's Lifeforce)It's amazing to think about the synergies happening in the human body, isn't it?Who really thinks about serving 2 great green health giants at the same meal? Perhaps you will this week!
