At the end, the illusions of the past and future are removed from my mind, and it is set back to zero, so I feel I am totally in the present moment, reset, and ready to restart my life afresh.”

This is a delicate balance to strike: if we rest too frequently or for too long, we will become soft and move backward. We need stress to create adaptation.”

Ze kunnen ook aan de basis liggen van verscheidene ziektebeelden die op het eerste gezicht geen psychologische grond hebben.”
