Natures OPT model: Optimal,Practical,&Tactical
June 7, 2012
Nature’s OPT-model:
Are you seeking the optimal solution to feeling good? When I say feeling “good”, I mean waking up with a smile
, having the ability to save someone from danger, KEEPING UP WITH YOUR KIDS!, having mental coolness, and a digestive system that is functioning properly
… By staying sharp, strong, and muscular, you’re fully functional and running on +OpTain:) (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/optimal)
Be-you-to-feel-good-plan:
– Practicing and progressing in each of these natural attributes is overall well-being.
– Practice means breaking boundaries through progression and repetition.
– Creating an easier route.
Practice doesn’t need to be boring, MIX IT UP! Move in ways that will help you in everyday life. Whether you are challenged by the demands of work, family, relationships, money, WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE… these skills will assist you in conquering any task at hand, for you will have the mental and physical clarity to do so.
– Trust your instinct.
– The more you use it the stronger it will become.
– Listen to your body.
Tactic is something we have in us. Instead of thinking of every possibility in and around the task it simply becomes action and re-action YOUR way with ease and grace.

I almost sustained serious injury today jumping from tree to tree about fifteen feet off the ground in the woods at a nature preserve in Gainesville, FL. It had been raining and my grip couldn’t handle the wet tree bark on impact when I tried to secure myself and land the jump. Thanks to Brandon Sewall and Primitive Movement – I didn’t fall awkwardly and get injured, instead I instinctually focused on landing balanced, with a slight bend in the knees into a forward roll to break the fall. Luckily it worked out and I just popped up and kept moving unscathed. This is proof that with practice and focus, his approach builds a smart body and instinctual behaviors that will help one react to all of life’s everyday surprises. Whether you’re falling from a tree or about to get hit buy a bus in New York City, training with Brandon will equip you with the tools to build a strong intelligent body that will help you in lifes unexpected situations. Thank you Brandon and Primitive Movement. #primalallday
