after savasana, such as a conversation that I need to have, or a new project that I want to start. For me, that’s where that mind-body connection happens, and it packs a powerful punch.

During savasana, I start to feel like I am just being; I don’t feel pressure to make decisions, because I am able to simply be present and in the moment. I’m not worried about past decisions; I’m not concerned about what tomorrow will bring—I’m simply cognizant of my existence in that moment of stillness. I’m there with breath-ing, and my gratitude for being there. That’s the idea behind the Whole Life Fitness Manifesto, to bring you into this state of ease and alignment, where everything’s just trucking along, feeling good.

And here’s the kicker: It’s all a positive upward spiral! After incorporating these practices into your life for a while—body and mind both healthy and feeling good—you’ll start to experience a deeply satisfying cycle of mental clarity, physical fitness and life accomplishments, where everything feeds each other.

Our minds are a culmination of everything that’s happened before now. For me, that includes every action I’ve taken, every food I’ve eaten, and every person I’ve met. Is it possible to get physically fit without taking care of your mental and spiritual self? Sure. But it’s harder to get going, and it’s less fun along the way.

The Whole Life Fitness Power 30

I designed the Whole Life Fitness Power 30 in such a way that you don’t have to rein-vent your lifestyle to accommodate it. Instead, you can plug this 30-minute ritual into your busy day. Each 30-minute session breaks down like this:

15 minutes for your workout of the day (wod), or movement with purpose

5 minutes for meditation or mindfulness

10 minutes of concentrated personal development

Think about this: 30 minutes makes up just two per cent of your 24-hour day. This time is just for you—no excuses. Commit to it the same way you commit to brushing your teeth, and I promise you’ll see big shifts in your whole life.

Remember, you’re not alone on this journey—I’m here for you; I’ll show you the way, both in this book and in our online community. So let’s get into a huddle and start making some awesome changes in our lives—together!
