Pressing RESET in Belgium and France
Dec 14, 2024
I’ve been away in Belgium and France for almost half a month. It was a wild trip but a good one. I got to teach three OS certifications with a good friend. We shared the wonders of Pressing RESET for six whole days and made some new friends along the way. I’ve decided that movement is the universal language. It removes barriers in our bodies but can also remove barriers between people, even language barriers.
When we move well, we feel well; when we feel well, we connect with others around us. It just happens without us even trying. Movement heals almost everything—at least moving in our design does—the way we were meant to move and be.
This may surprise you, but Belgium and France have some really good food. But my favorite meal, which soothed my taste buds and soul, was a cheeseburger. I know that sounds nuts, but I LOVE a good cheeseburger. The cheeseburger I had in France may be one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. It was so good I had it for two more meals in the following two days. And it was just as good every time. So good…
I also discovered black sesame tahini while I was in France. I ate a whole jar of it in about three days. It just may be my new favorite “butter.” I have since had it delivered to my home. Thank you, Amazon! This may be the first teaching trip I’ve ever taken where I did not lose weight. Not even one pound. That’s amazing. All I needed was to find good cheeseburgers and black tahini. Who knew?!
While away, I received a very encouraging and inspiring email from a friend I’ve yet to meet. It was powerful. I’m going to share some of it here:
“I also wanted to thank you for the work you have done. I was introduced by intuition to your principles at a time when I was quite lost. I am in the midst of a sabbatical from basketball - at the age of 31, I couldn’t bear the frustration of feeling like there was something so much grander I could be anymore and walked away from the game. After two years in “the real world”, I was able to finally come to know myself and realize that I can make a re-entry into the game as who I really am and truly enjoy myself. A part of this has been thanks to your work, as you have provided me with some assurance that I’m not crazy for thinking I can be better than I have ever been at the age of 33 after being away from the game for a couple of years.
To me, Pressing RESET shifts the mindset from ‘building capacity’ to ‘removing limitation’ to discover the power that we already have within us. It’s such a beautiful lesson because it allows us to be confident and loving to ourselves in this very moment, rather than in some arbitrary time in the future.” - Matthew
It’s his last paragraph. He gets it. He discovered it - the power within, the beautiful lesson. That is available for each of us. If we move in our design, we can tap into a treasure within that helps us remove limitations so that we can soar through life to be and live above and not beneath.
Anyway, it’s been a great two weeks overall. I was fortunate enough to teach how to Press RESET and blessed enough to see and read how it affects others. Witnessing the power of our design never gets old, and it always makes me thankful.
