I was interviewed by Wil Brown of The Figuring Things Out podcast on 'longevity'.

“For me, longevity is constantly being able to die”.

Below is a small outtake of the conversation to get an idea of the angles and lenses we used to discuss the topic.

Sven and I spoke about the downsides of trying to look good in learning, loosening ridig behavioural patterns through play, play in a childish way and Play as an quality of Life itself, creating learning environments for both kids and adults to express their potential and how this often gets blocked by certain types of pedagogy.

Interview with Sven Chanton of the Human Playbook with Olivier Goetgeluck on "Effortless living through play and movement”.

We spoke about how “through conscious movement we can get in touch with our inner orientation and sense when it is time to move, to work, when to let go towards a life that feels like a natural stream of creativity, rather than hard work - or ‘a life that feels like play.’“

We love to know, 
we like to stay sure of ourselves, 
we do find comfort in knowing 
we’d appreciate others to stay within the bubble of our knowing too.
 The danger however is when a practice allows you to live on that island where no one ever contradicts your ideas, your favourite thought constructs, your behavioural habits.

It's only when I rest, that I realize how tired I really am." This is a sentence I have heard so often. One thing I believe in is that our body is always speaking to us about our current state.

Every day is burnout day. You can have a burnout right now and you should. There’s a key that gives access. Do it every morning every evening, every moment, of every day. Burnout is the best thing that can happen to you.

Our habitual postures are connected to habitual emotions and habitual thoughts in a strange dance — if you have a certain association, then you take a certain posture and have a certain feeling.

I often take notes on the experiences of my clients. One of them told me last week “I tend to forget” when speaking of a practice experience he had. A great reason to practice.

What I’m trying to avoid is the thing that will eat me in a while.
From the inside constructions once built are close to collapse

Today I tuned the movement of my arms so well with the movement of my breathing.

Today I got my life coaching from that purple-red leaf colored tree I always see when I enter the park whose branches said:

Once I truly spoke
With a man who barely said
A word. In fact, there’s not a
Word he said that I remember.

Seeing the wall standing in the room
Figuring out architecture of my feet
Restless calves letting go into the wooden floor
Dancing dots playing out their work on the white

Man is a self-developing organism which means that man cannot develop under compulsion but only through internal freedom, which is one’s understanding (knowledge + being) that a man can evolve.

Story of my tensions
Story of my breathing
Story of rhythm of my heart beating
Story of my narratives

I can't just go stand and 'do cleaning practice'
But I can stay in front of it.
Somehow then the cleaning of my psyche
Starts to happen by itself.

When you asked me
That first question
I was launched again
From story into passenger seat.
