Does It Work? Boxing As Meditation

One of the best and worst things about being an adult is that no one blasts you for letting things slide. I’m talking about those boring, basic acts of looking after yourself: packing a healthy lunch, getting enough exercise, clocking enough sleep. So long as your work gets done, family obligations are met and texts are replied to, you can live off packaged food and adrenaline and feel like you have gotten away with it. I did. I reasoned that as long as I was attending my weekly counselling sessions, then I had permission to let all the other stuff slip.

That isn’t how it works, of course. When it comes to your mental and physical health, you get out what you put in. I needed an attitude reset, and in The Boxx Method’s video series Champion Me, I hoped I’d found it. The four-week program comprises workouts alongside a regimented self-care schedule of mindful walking and meditation.

If it's not a Hell Yeah, it's a NO!

Sure thing! No probs! Of course! Happy to help! The word ‘yes’ easily rolls off the tongue in a million agreeable ways. But what if we told you that, contrary to everything the world has taught you so far, saying yes isn’t actually the key to winning at life? In fact, it might just be holding you back.

The AI Revolution Is Coming: Here's How To Future -Proof Your Career

Robots are coming for your job. Not only yours, but another 20 million jobs around the world over the next 10 years. That’s how media outlets reported on the results of a 2019 paper released by global forecaster Oxford Economics. If you think that sounds rather dystopian, wait until your anxiety-fuelled googling brings up news headlines claiming it’s actually 800 million jobs – not a meagre 20 mill – that will be eliminated by robots by the time 2030 hits.
