“Youth is not a time of life – it is a state of mind. It is a temper of the will; a quality of the imagination; a vigor of the emotions; it is a freshness of the deep springs of life. Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over a life of ease… Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years; people grow old by deserting their ideals.”
Samuel Ullman
1840-1924, Businessman and Poet
That “death do us part” thing is a protective mechanism. It says, “I don’t trust me, and I don’t trust you to be in a place where we are evoking the best from each other. And so, just to make sure, let’s promise that even if we don’t, we’ll suffer it out together.” Every law, sacred or secular, that we have ever seen in your environment has always come from a place of disconnection, from a place of protectiveness.

Complete 2 mins of plank every day. Alternate between plank on your elbows and intermediate plank ( on hands) If you feel any pain/tension in your lower back come down and rest. Return to plank once you have recovered.
Keep shoulders square, chest lifted, balance your weight between your shoulders and feet. Keep your belly button in and up. Breathe.
Set timer for 120 seconds, hold plank for as long as possible. As you get stronger you will be able to hold longer. Enjoy the journey.
