What 10 years of competitive bodybuilding taught me⬇️

Have you ever chased something so hard that you didn’t realize what you were losing along the way? For 10 years, I gave everything to bodybuilding. I won 7 shows, earned 3 pro cards, and claimed a world title. On the outside, I had it all.

But inside? I was losing more than I realized. Birthdays, anniversaries, friendships, everything took a back seat to the sport. My life revolved around the next competition, the next prep, the next trophy. I was dedicated, yes, but also trapped in a cycle of vanity, restriction, and selfishness.

Then came the injury. At first, it felt like my world had crumbled, but in hindsight, it was the biggest blessing. It forced me to stop and reflect. I realized that if I kept going, I’d be running myself into the ground, both physically and mentally. It was a wake-up call.

Walking away wasn’t easy, but it was necessary. Bodybuilding gave me strength, but stepping away gave me balance. Now, I channel that same dedication into helping others rebuild themselves, not for trophies, but for a life they love.

Today, I live a life of freedom, purpose, and connection. I’ve traded the stage for something far more rewarding: guiding people to unlock their potential, release their limits, and create meaningful change. It’s a life I never imagined, but one I wouldn’t trade for anything.

Think meditation is only about sitting still? Think again. Walking meditation is a powerful practice that combines movement and mindfulness, making it perfect for those who find it hard to sit still or want to deepen their connection with the present moment.

Here’s how to get started:
1️⃣ Slow Down: Walk at a relaxed pace, focusing on each step.
2️⃣ Breathe Naturally: Sync your breath with your steps. Inhale for a few steps, exhale for the same.
3️⃣ Engage Your Senses: Notice the ground beneath your feet, the sound of your surroundings, the feel of the air on your skin.
4️⃣ Let Thoughts Come and Go: No need to judge, just return your focus to your steps whenever your mind wanders.

Walking meditation isn’t just about movement, it’s a way to connect with yourself and the world around you. It can reduce stress, improve focus, and boost creativity. The best part? You can do it anywhere, a park, your garden, even your living room!

Have you tried walking meditation? If not, try it today and let me know how it feels to move with purpose.

Grateful doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel for these incredible souls!

This morning, I had the honor of hosting my first free Chakra Alchemy Breathwork session on Kite Beach, right here in Dubai, joined by 12 amazing individuals.

As the sun rose, they trusted me to guide them through a transformative practice blending breathwork, hypnosis, visualization, affirmations, and movement. Together, we worked to ground their energy, release blockages, ignite creativity, find their voice, embrace love and self-expression, and deepen their connection to the divine power of the universe.

After just seven weeks in Dubai, I’m blown away by the beautiful and fast-growing community that’s forming around this work. I feel so blessed and deeply grateful for each and every one of you.

If you’re in Dubai and want to join a Saturday sunrise breathwork session, send me a DM! Also, don’t miss out on the free Mind Body Mastery Discord community, where I’ll soon be adding guided full moon meditations on the beach in 2025. Let’s keep building this incredible energy together!

Let’s talk about vulnerability. The kind that strips you bare, not physically, but emotionally. For years, I wore masks, of strength, of confidence, of perfection. But the truth? True strength was letting those masks fall. Vulnerability isn’t weakness; it’s the birthplace of connection, authenticity, and growth.

When I let myself be vulnerable, I found freedom. I found deeper connections with others and, most importantly, with myself. It’s scary to show up as you are, but it’s also the most powerful thing you can do.

The next time you’re tempted to hide, try leaning in. Be raw. Be real. Be you. Because when you let the walls down, that’s when true magic happens.

Do you struggle with vulnerability?

Imagine stripping away all the distractions, no notifications, no endless to-do lists, no noise. Just you, your breath, and the stillness of life. Living with monks for a month isn’t just a retreat; it’s a reset for your soul. It’s where you learn to embrace the present moment, break free from limiting beliefs, and find the strength to live intentionally.

But here’s the truth: you don’t need to pack up your life to experience their wisdom. Living like a monk means simplifying your routines, practicing gratitude, meditating daily, and embracing silence. It’s about reconnecting with what really matters and letting go of the things that don’t.

You’ll discover that peace doesn’t come from your environment, it comes from within you. And when you find that, the world outside starts to transform too.

So, what do you think would happen if you spent 30 days prioritizing stillness, mindfulness, and intention?

Each morning, monks walk barefoot through the streets, bowl in hand, embodying humility and trust. This ancient ritual, known as the alms round, is far more than a request for sustenance; it’s a profound spiritual exchange where both the giver and receiver find transformation.

For the monk, it’s a practice of renunciation, letting go of attachment and ego, cultivating gratitude for each offering, no matter how small. For the layperson, offering alms is a moment to practice generosity, detaching from material possession and connecting to something greater than oneself. Each gift symbolizes a commitment to compassion, unity, and mindfulness, a sacred exchange beyond words.

In this simple act, we’re reminded that true abundance lies not in what we hold onto but in what we freely give. As we walk through life, may we remember that our bowls are never truly empty, and our hands are never too full to give.

There was a time in my life when I knew I needed to truly disconnect to reconnect, not just with myself, but with what life really meant to me. That’s why I went to live at a monastery. I left behind the distractions of the modern world, the endless noise, and the constant pressure to “keep up” and dove deep into stillness. It was a life-changing experience, but here’s the truth: you don’t have to take such an extreme step to find that sense of peace and clarity.

The real lesson I learned is that disconnecting doesn’t have to mean retreating to a mountaintop (although it’s amazing if you can!). It’s about making intentional choices daily to step away from distractions and reconnect with yourself. Whether that’s through turning off your phone for an hour, sitting in silence with your breath, or taking a walk without any interruptions, these small moments can create a huge shift.

When we disconnect, we give ourselves the chance to reconnect with what matters: our thoughts, our values, and the people around us. It’s not about avoidance; it’s about alignment. You’ll be amazed at what clarity and peace you find when you consciously create space.

What’s one way you can disconnect this week to reconnect with yourself?

Have you ever heard of Japanese concept of Ikigai?
It weaves a path to purpose through five profound pillars:

1️⃣ Starting small → The universe in a grain of sand
2️⃣ Releasing yourself → The freedom in self-acceptance
3️⃣ Harmony and sustainability → The interconnectedness of all things
4️⃣ The joy of little things → Finding infinity in a moment
5️⃣ Being in the here and now → The eternity of the present

The first pillar resonates deeply, especially as I also live in the fast paced western world like most of you. By slowing down and immersing ourselves in life’s minute details, we unlock doors to vast realms of creativity and consciousness.

In the quiet spaces between breaths, in the deliberate savoring of experiences, we find not just memories, but the very essence of being. It’s here, in the unhurried exploration of the now, that we touch the timeless.

Reflect: Where in your life might you find profound meaning by simply slowing down? In what small moment today can you discover a universe of insight?

Share your thoughts below. Let’s explore the depths of Ikigai together, finding purpose in the poetry of existence.

Originally, the plan was to bring him over to the UAE to be with me. But when I finally checked the import laws for specific breeds, I discovered that he wasn’t allowed entry since he’s a Husky-Staffy mix. I know—I should’ve checked sooner, but I guess I was holding on to that hopeful belief that he’d be here with me no matter what.

I do believe, though, that everything happens as it should and for a reason. Within just a few days, the perfect person came into the picture to adopt him. The synchronicities between me and his new owner were too incredible to ignore. If he couldn’t be here with me, I’m genuinely glad he’s with this person!

My instincts were confirmed when I saw how at home he felt there. I’m so grateful he’s found someone who will love him just as much as I do. Plus, he’s close to my family, which means I can visit him whenever I’m back home!

Life flows as it should when we let go and stop resisting.

Swipe to the end to watch him sing for you all 🫶🏽

Ever wonder what it’d be like to hit the ‘pause’ button on life and experience the world with fresh eyes? Living like a monk for just one month can be a profound reset, a way to dive deep into simplicity, peace, and self-awareness.

Imagine waking up without distractions, tuning into your inner world, and shedding the weight of endless ‘to-do’s.’ This journey isn’t about escaping life; it’s about finding the space to face it with more strength, clarity, and grace. From meditation to mindful movement, every day is a practice in self-discovery.

The benefits? You’ll tap into a quieter mind, boost your focus, and develop emotional resilience. You’ll learn to let go of what doesn’t serve you and reconnect with what truly does. Plus, when you return to ‘normal’ life, you’ll bring a fresh perspective, a calmer presence, and a deep appreciation for the beauty in each moment.

Are you ready to let go, look within, and experience the world through a whole new lens? Try living like a monk with for a month, it will change your life.
