1. We talk about a quote by Osho – “To be creative means to be in love with life.” It has them thinking in different directions.2. We interview Ian Brisbin in the areas of Physical, Mental and Social Wellness. Ian’s an avid cyclist. We chat about safety. Biking is a social and physical outlet and one of the best ways Ian knows to ensure that he’s staying emotionally centred. His “Rule 1” for biking safety is very simple: You do what you need to do to get home safely. Biking safety is multi-faceted. There’s a lot to keep track of. The best you can do is to keep your head on a swivel and look out for yourself. It’s important to be assertive and be clear about what your intentions are – be very deliberate showing where you’re headed. There’s safety equipment, such as helmets, but more than anything else it’s a matter of being aware of your surroundings and communicating yourself as clearly as you can. He talks about hidden dangers, like dooring, large potholes and the “right hook”. Rule 1 applies to interactions with law enforcement and drivers. If you’re in a situation where you feel that you’re being unfairly ticketed by law enforcement, then take the ticket, go home and deal with it later. If you’re in a confrontation with a driver, then you’re not going to win. You might lose, but you won’t win. Just leave. Your goal is to get home safe and to your families. 3. Starving Artist – Cameron needs to use his car every day, so car trouble spells stress. I took time go figure out what was wrong and get it fixed, then after dropping some serious coin he had another surprise. 4. Move That Body – Julie recounts experiences as a coxswain for 8-person rowing teams while at university. 5. Running Popup – A great lesson from exercise is that it shows us that we can do hard things, and it feels good to know that. 6. Flipside of the Coin – Sheila and John’s impressions when they learned they will be first-time grandparents.
