The Power of Stretching: Mental, Emotional, and Physical Fitness [Podcast]

Podcast #311 – The Power of Stretching: Mental, Emotional & Physical Fitness

Description:

In this episode, I want to talk about how I’ve harnessed the power of stretching: mental, emotional, and physical fitness. Yes, I know that sounds a little far-fetched. But what I experienced happened more or less by accident. It stretched me in so many ways. As a 66-year-old, I didn’t expect to feel this way.

If you are listening for the first time, my wife and I moved to Ajijic, Mexico in 2018. Ajijic is a village on Lake Chapala and about an hour’s drive from Guadalajara. Guadalajara is Mexico’s second largest city.

Since the beginning of the year, my wife and I have obtained our Mexican Jalisco driver’s licenses. To do this, we had to complete a 10-question test in English and pass a parallel parking test.

My wife and I have been married for 42 years, but it has triggered so many emotional triggers and I want to talk about how my wife and I have dealt with it very differently.

Second, besides learning to speak and understand Spanish, I started working with ChatGPT, an AI chatbot that has gone viral. It’s pretty incredible, and I used it to support the format and flow of this episode.

It expands me intellectually.

After all, in 2022 I rode a little over 3000 miles on my road bike. My goal for 2023 is 4000 miles.

I’m not a driven athlete. I like to work hard and I love the feeling of accomplishment, but if I had to do it on my own… well, I probably wouldn’t be in the state I’m in today. I want to talk about how I’ve done this and how I’m moving forward on my health journey.
