Should we embrace Intentional Living
Intentional living is living your life through your chosen values and ethics. Having the ability to react in certain situations means you'll be in more control. Intentional living allows you to have more purpose in life. Be more aware of your actions and hopefully result in more life fulfilment.
I want to make a short video for us about this subject because I've lost with life previously and we all need some sort of purpose with our days. Allowing us to live more intentionally will result more productiveness and life in general. I hate getting to the end of the year or month and think "where has all my time gone?" because I feel I've waisted time or not use that time in the right way.
I'm making videos this year all about personal growth and personal development so if you fancy coming on this journey with me then click the subscribe button and we can grow together. Or you can just enjoy some videos where I might fail... your choice!
If my riveting videos are not enough for you feel free to find me on instagram @bairstowalex where I post some pictures.
Cheers ✌🏻

Sometimes things don't go your way. Even when you're searching for a sunrise.

Sometimes things don't go your way in life. It's just a fact of life. You can plan to do something as simple as searching for a sunrise. Even a sunrise just don't go your way.

So we looked at the weather forecast and found a 48 hour period of clear...
Run 5K everyday for a month | Running 5K for 30 days Challenge
มุมมอง 84K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Challenge: Run 5K everyday for a month. I hate running, and running hates me. I wanted to get out of my comfort zone with exercise and running 5K for 30 days seemed like a challenge to match. So why 5K? I wanted to keep it short, under half an hour so my body could deal with the impact of trying to run 5K everyday for a month. I set myself a target of doing it in under 25 minutes. A reasonable ...
Cold Shower everyday for 30 days

Ok, this was horrendous. Having a cold shower everyday for 30 days was my latest 30 day challenge. I wanted to do something which would get me out of my comfort zone while in lockdown. Obviously, there are not many things you can do! I wanted to do something I find ordinary (like showering) and make it extraordinary (by making is cold!) so a cold shower everyday for 30 days idea was born... I'v...

Squirrel picnic table... Who made the best one?

Fancy making a Squirrel picnic table? Me and Emma did. It was sunny. There were hungry squirrels. They need a squirrel picnic table right? So we thought, "LET'S HAVE A COMPETITION ON WHO CAN MAKE THE BEST SQUIRREL PICNIC TABLE!" No squirrels will come by our garden and have no where to sit! All we used were some old wood and screws to make our squirrel picnic table! Maybe it's time for you to g...

    Thanks for the video, Alex! Some good points here. One thing that helps me is really expensive filters for my furnace/AC and change them about every 2-3 weeks. When nature turns it on in fall, I feel like death is coming. Really. Like Im going to die

    Really interesting video, especially as I'm trying to do something similar. Did you notice much difference in your body weight? did your eating habits improve? Did my 5k PB last week at 23.12 so was chuffed with that but it was on a flat track which makes a massive difference. Think I would struggle to run 5k in under 25 mins with steep inclines.

    Getting up early is way easier in summer. Great time to get out run/cycle. See way more blue skies that way! Half the time it’s turned grey and over cast by 9am 🤣 That said getting up early in winter is important so you can make the most of the daylight hours. Get stuff out the way early.

    @mavicaaron401 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey man! It almost sounds like you might have Chronic Exertional Syndrome (like me)! It’s exercise induced and causes tightness and pain in your calves and foot numbness. Depending on my running fitness my feet go numb around the same time during my run and then they come back and I’m usually able to finish my run without them going numb again. I currently have PFS (a type of runners knee) most likely stemming from a random half-marathon I did without much prep work. So I’m waiting to try a chiropractor and see if that works (I obviously wouldn’t be able to see if it works until I can run again) but the other option is surgery which I want to avoid. Go see a doctor though if you continue to have tightness/pain in your calves and foot numbness! Anyways have fun with running and be safe!
