Let's connect with nature

So, let me start by taking you back to one of your own memories. I want you to remember a time, maybe on a vacation, where you were able to sit back and truly soak in nature to its fullest. It might be an amazing sunset, it might be the feeling of sand between your toes, or it may even be the breathtaking sight of a mountain against the horizon. I want you to focus closely on how that experience made you feel. Now, allow me to take you to an average day in your life. It is probably filled with a lot of enclosures, stress, and deadlines. But, what if I told you that you can have the incredible feeling you experienced on vacation every day? I believe that particular feeling is the acceptance of nature and everything it has to offer. It is all around you, waiting to be engaged. This is my challenge to you: simply go outside barefoot and feel the grass between your toes or take the opportunity to stand in the rain. Truly accept nature. This is an incredible step in the human-domino effect

Human Connection

So, I want to open your mind to a new idea of how to get more out of life. I believe in what I call the human domino effect in which one positive change can envelope your life and allow you to grow and experience new things. This is one of those dominos: "Human Connection." I think that we have closed our minds to experiences we could possibly have with other people because we are not willing to be radically honest with ourselves and with others. Such radical honesty could open lots of true connection with other humans and break us from the monotony of just asking,"How's the weather?"We might really begin to connect with other people. My challenge to you (if you're willing) is to try and honestly connect with someone this week. It may even be someone you see all the time and don't even know their name. Please post what you learn or get out of it, so we can all grow from our shared experiences.

Welcome

Hey Guys, So, I just want to introduce myself: my name is Seth Budai. I am a personal trainer by profession, but I am also a huge advocate for getting everything I can out of life physically, mentally, and spiritually. So, I want to engage you in an honest, heart-felt discussion about how we (and the people we connect with) can get the  most out of our relationships, our bodies, and our minds. Feel free to send me comments and questions about anything I talk about.
