Podcast Summary
Raw dogging on planes: Some TikTok users travel without any form of entertainment or stimulus on planes, even refusing to use the bathroom or drink, and this unusual trend has gained popularity on the platform.
The "raw dogging" TikTok trend refers to traveling without any form of entertainment or stimulus on a plane, such as reading, listening to music, or watching TV. Some people even take it to the extreme by not drinking or using the bathroom. While it may sound unusual, it's a popular trend on the platform. The hosts of the Addicted to Fitness podcast promise to keep the discussion PG and invite listeners to share their thoughts by leaving ratings and reviews or messaging them on Instagram. In their personal updates, the hosts shared that they had subpar training weeks due to illness and other commitments. Despite the setbacks, they remain committed to their health and fitness goals and encourage listeners to do the same.
Flowing Experiences: Engaging in activities mindfully and maintaining productivity amidst challenges like heat and client fluctuations can enhance overall experiences, both in martial arts and daily life, including unique trends like the "raw dogging" airplane challenge promoting presence over distraction.
Flowing in physical activities like martial arts can be enhanced by having a partner with similar or lesser experience, allowing for smoother transitions. In addition to training, dealing with the challenges of intense heat and humidity in Florida, such as staying active and maintaining productivity, is essential. As summer comes to an end, a return to a regular client load is promising, along with hopes of onboarding new clients. This aligns with engaging in a viral TikTok trend called "raw dogging" on airplanes, where individuals consciously choose to refrain from distractions like reading or listening to music during flights, promoting a unique experience of doing nothing and just being present during travel. This trend, drawing some attention from popular culture, shows the desire for a different way to experience time, even in transit.
Mindfulness practice: Practicing mindfulness without external stimuli can lead to increased focus and inner peace, inspired by the Seinfeld character Putty's silent plane ride
Practicing mindfulness and eliminating external stimuli can lead to increased focus and inner peace. This concept was inspired by the character Putty from Seinfeld, who famously sat silently on a plane, much to Elaine's frustration. The idea of "raw dogging" on a plane, or practicing mindfulness with closed eyes and minimal stimuli, can help individuals be more present and focused, especially in today's digitally-driven world. Some people might find this practice challenging and could consider starting with a less extreme version, such as a digital detox or a sensory deprivation tank experience. Ultimately, the goal is to give the mind a break from constant stimulation and allow individuals to work through problems and find inner peace.
Flight walks: Disconnecting from technology during flights and taking 'Flight walks' in nature can improve mental and physical well-being through grounding, energizing, and meditative experiences, while also offering an opportunity for a digital detox and engaging in activities like journaling or reading.
Disconnecting from technology during flights and opting for a "raw dog" walk in nature can have significant positive effects on mental and physical well-being. This simple action can transform your walks into energizing and meditative experiences, allowing you to ground yourself during long flights and balance the discomfort of being hurtled through the air. Additionally, the digital detox aspect of this trend offers an opportunity to engage in activities like journaling or reading, leading to a more positive experience overall. Remember to stay hydrated during flights by drinking plenty of water and consider bringing an extra hydration supplement to prevent dehydration.
Body positivity, societal norms: Alonamar, a rugby player and Sports Illustrated cover model, inspires people to embrace their unique qualities and challenge societal norms surrounding body image and self-worth.
Alonamar, a rugby player who gained attention for her appearance on the cover of Sports Illustrated, has become a source of inspiration for many with her strong and unapologetic digital persona. She challenges societal norms and body shaming, encouraging people to embrace their unique qualities and not let anyone dictate their self-worth. Alonamar's journey as an athlete and her outspokenness about the flaws of BMI scores resonated with the speaker, who shared her own experiences of feeling insecure about her muscular build as a girl. The growing popularity of women's rugby and Alonamar's achievements in the sport add to her impact and serve as a reminder that everyone has the potential to be strong and attractive in their own way.
Rugby Sevens, Hypnotherapy: Discovered the thrill of rugby sevens and benefits of hypnotherapy; US Women's rugby team captivated us during the Olympics, hypnotherapy aids in healing and dealing with subconscious issues
We discovered new sources of excitement and inspiration this week. First, we were captivated by the fast-paced and intense sport of rugby sevens, particularly the US Women's team, during the Olympic Games. We also learned about the benefits of hypnotherapy through a session with a professional hypnotist, Paul Salter. Hypnotherapy is a guided meditation that helps individuals deal with subconscious issues and trauma. It has been scientifically proven to aid in healing, especially for those going through physically challenging experiences like cancer treatment. We are looking forward to sharing more about Paul and his work on future podcasts. Overall, these new experiences brought us a renewed sense of enthusiasm and appreciation for the world around us.
