Physical health and creativity

Physical health and creativity are the core elements for humanity to overcome #AI in the future!

In the book "Unlocking the Potential of the Mind," it mentions a viewpoint that physical health, material wealth, time freedom, interpersonal relationships, and spiritual satisfaction are ranked in order, with physical health always placed first. Anything that harms physical health should be avoided, such as smoking and drinking.

I truly realized the importance of physical health during the COVID-19 pandemic. I witnessed friends passing away and elderly people leaving this world, which deeply made me feel the fragility of life. After contracting COVID-19 twice and experiencing the effects of the vaccine, my health deteriorated. Due to factors related to #Web3 and the U.S. stock market, my daily routine often became inverted, and my mental state worsened. I often felt fatigued even when sitting down, and my attention could not be highly focused. The real warning sign came one night when I stayed up late until dawn, but suddenly felt palpitations in my heart, struggled to breathe, and broke out in a cold sweat. The An Gong Niu Huang Wan that I always kept at home saved my life.

From then on, I gradually began to choose to slow down, let go of or delegate some work, and started to move towards a path of subtraction, whether in life or work. I began to pay attention to my diet, learned to cook for myself, and reduced eating out and ordering takeout. I increased aerobic exercise, rediscovered my hobbies from college, such as cycling 🚴 and running 🏃, and gradually developed a love for the outdoors, becoming fascinated with hiking.

Every weekend, I choose to spend time in the mountains (hiking) or cycling. Nature is a great teacher and energy replenishment station. Hiking and cycling allow you to focus on the present, put down electronic devices, and listen to your own breathing and the sounds of insects and birds in the forest. When you start to slow down and return to a simple life, many worries and attachments will be let go. Once you let go and practice non-action, many things will begin to move towards your ideal path. Just like a tightly clenched fist, it cannot hold sand. Only by relaxing and opening your palm can you support more.

Regarding creativity, Long Yingtai once wrote: If a child has never touched the bark of a tree, smelled the fragrance of flowers, walked into nature, traversed an ancient city, or strolled through a market in the morning, how can that child grow?

Therefore, the best taste for beauty is cultivated in nature. The future is the era of #AI, and physical health and creativity are the areas that need the most supplementation, while nature is the best field for humanity to nurture creativity. Some may be confused, thinking that nature is just those trees, mountains, lakes, animals, wilderness, and the sun, moon, and stars. How could human creativity be connected to these simple natural things?

Yes, creativity is a precious intuition, an extension of imagery, and the ability to create new images in the mind. Everyone has creativity, but some are rich in it while others are lacking. Those rich in creativity are full of curiosity about the universe and everything in it. Through careful observation and association, they can extract the universal connections of the material world, form wisdom, and create great works. The vast majority of people lack creativity and fail to grasp the secrets of the universe because they are accustomed to confining themselves within the cage of what they see, forgetting the starry sky and wilderness, losing the ability to imagine freely, and not daring to make bold hypotheses, thus obscuring the brilliance of imagination and intuition.

People always think that science, humanities, and art are valuable, but forget that nature is the cradle and womb that gave birth to them.

Let us embrace the wilderness together, focus on the present, and always say tomorrow is fine, next year will come, but why not today, why not right now!

I do not want to wait

I do not want to look at the future at the endless foot of the mountain

I only know that the water will be cold, the wind will stop, and spring will not return

Life is about indulging in fleeting pleasures

Tomorrow is too far away

I want it now

Why not today

Let’s encourage each other!
