My First YouTube Video!
I have just published my first YouTube video. It is intended as an aide for meditation. It should be said that I have no idea what I was doing. I hope that you enjoy it.
New Video Channel
I have also started a new YouTube channel to house this and future videos. It is called “Wellbeing, Being well”. As I get older I am beginning to realise that I should pay more attention to my well being and mental health. In the past I have struggled with depression and self destructive thoughts. My aim with this channel is to provide ideas and information addressing all aspects of “Wellbeing” (Dreadful word). That includes meditation, diet, exercise, mindfulness.
I want to steer away from the more esoteric ideas and practices that you see on YouTube in the general area of wellbeing. It is not that I think that reiki, or say, acupuncture are not worthwhile, more that I do not have direct experience of them. I expect that the scope of “Wellbeing, Be Well” will increase as time passes.
One area that I am keen to address is diet and exercise. I love cooking and regard exercise (other than walking) with great suspicion. It may well be that as I change my diet (learn not to add wine and cream as I cook dishes) The channel will reflect a simpler way of cooking. Over the last year or two my diet has changed to reduce the amount of meat and increase the amount of pulses. I would expect that move away from meat to continue.
As to exercise. I can not understand why people go to gyms. It could be fair to say that my body self image issues overcome any desire to don the lycra. I am, however, aware of the benefits of exercise. My YouTube channel is likely to reflect the benefits of non gym based exercise. There is something that appeals to me in the image of using bags of sugar as weights or using everyday items in exercise routines. We will see.
In the meantime I hope that you enjoy “Wellbeing, Being well” If you have any suggestions please let me know.
