“In times of turmoil a positive way of living is more important than anything else. The cave can be a positive thing.”—Jerzy Gregorek
Into the Cave: A 7-Day Happy Body Immersion Course
When top athletes want to prepare, they “enter the cave” to focus on training and recovery, restricting all other activities. The current pandemic situation means limited activities for everyone: no movies, no parties or gatherings, no restaurants. People are feeling hemmed in and limited. The world news is grim and the accompanying melodramatic opinion can be even darker than the news itself.
It’s easy to think that your own situation can only get worse, too—but it doesn’t have to go that way. Depression doesn’t have to take over. You can use this time to become better.
Join us.
Enter the cave so that you can emerge stronger, healthier and happier than you were before. Stop ruminating and do something positive on a daily basis. Get better with the Standards of The Happy Body: Practice Stoic philosophy, exercise while measuring yourself and your progress, learn the food strategies that establish a healthy lifestyle.
