FIND YOUR PURPOSE - Before You WASTE Your Life Away In 2023, WATCH THIS! | Jonny Wilkinson

Subscribe to Friday Five for my popular weekly newsletter - my tips, my experience, my inspiration, what’s working for me. A high five from me to you: bit.ly/3reTyIm
Jonny Wilkinson is one of the most decorated and recognisable faces in rugby history and he’s probably best known for kicking the winning goal in 2003 to help England win the Rugby World Cup. But this episode of my podcast is not a conversation about rugby. It’s a conversation about what it truly means to live a meaningful and contented life.

Oh my goodness! It is so true that we have to stay playful, like children. We have to maintain that joy that we had. Stay in the moment because this moment is our happiest. That’s why when people look back they think of the good all days because those were the moments we were in. What you’re talking about has resonated with me and I thank you so much for this conversation!

[@christophersmith3254]

Feels like I don't have to listen to the whole thing. Thanks for your comment

[@maxchronicler]

When I'm happy I don't dream. I live in the moment where I don't need dreams. I'm living it.

[@beckyedwards3773]

Is this a re-post or a second interview? It would be helpful to know this rather than having to forward through it to see if I'd seen it before. Please can you mark up any reposts as such in future? 🙏

[@cindypage8673]

Incredibly inciteful. Thank you x

[@paulrowinski2039]

Thank you so much. Great the way you and Jonny articulated these ideas , drawing on ancient wisdom. It’s all about the journey, not arriving. The path less path. As a former rugby player and martial artist, this was fascinating. Thank you both! Paul aka Grey Warrior

[@nenaboax6590]

Pathless path! Yes. Thank you for that image. Reminds me of a definition of “pause” that I’ve heard: “postpone action until serenity emerges”. I.e. connect and reconnect to that pathless path. Trust the process.

Genius! How well this well this man Jonny, with his well developed physical system, has articulated aligning his consciousnesses with the power of ventral Vagal (Stephen Porges) and somehow his System 1 (Thinking, Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman).

[@glentither7448]

I think Johnny's just like a lot of successful people, in that they have short &/or long term goal(s), work tirelessly to achieve them, yet when they achieve the goal(s) there's a sense of euphoria at reaching that high point, but also at the same time a sort of disappointment that the 'fight' is over. There's also the expectation that having successfully reached said goal(s), that their life would be so much different, but often it isn't that much different. And the realisation that everyone else in the world is just getting on with their own lives, and not focusing on you, is another disappointment. By all means have goals, and work hard to achieve them, but just take the time to enjoy each goal for how it makes you feel yourself, rather than looking extrinsically for acknowledgement of achieving said goal(s).

[@timw4369]

i have been looking for my true passion my whole life still havent found it. Its not that aha moment that says yes thats what i should be. I dont have just one thing that says yeah im going to follow that path. Easy for others but its not for me.

[@nepheleartist]

Just keep trying things and try to garner awareness of what things you enjoy. For instance, is there anything you already do that you feel you get lost into and could spend hours doing it without realizing? To me so far it's not one thing, it is many things. The 'one purpose' idea may gradually come together with time, or maybe your one purpose includes doing lots of different things. Follow your curiosity :)

[@raheconsulting]

I feel you Tim, What's worked for me is instead of trying to find that "one true passion" I've decided to live my life passionately, i.e. whatever I do I try to do it with passion. Best!

[@slashingbison2503]

I never thought Jonny was so deep. sounds like a nice guy who asked far too much of himself.

[@sami9138]

[@edauvaa1730]

Johnny Wilkinson sprouting the new age philosophies which probably caused his sporting lame duck results. The Way to God the Father is still Jesus Christ, who took our humanity. There's no need to dabble in pseudo spirituality just to sound spiritual. Christ's Good news teaching has elevated the Christian West above all other peoples and nations. And if Europeans try to rediscover their Christocentric foundations, and speak from there, it would go a long way to light their paths and find their surefooted voices again.

[@LTPottenger]

I don't know if it's the main purpose, but I have found great purpose in spreading information about fasting and phototherapy and the amazing benefits I have received in reducing blood pressure and many other things! The amazing effects of fasting and a lower carb whole food diet on the immune system, blood pressure, blood sugar and anti-aging, all backed up by clinical data: Fasts from 36-96 h actually INCREASE metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release! Reflexes and short term memory are increased. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy! Fribrosis/scarring is reversed over time and telomeres are lengthened, which also helps with lung fibrosis. The hunger hormone ghrelin lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting. Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria and viruses by the immune system. Blood pressure is quickly and dramatically lowered, which is very important for a good outcome with the current pandemic. Fasting increases nitric oxide, which has manifold postive effects like reducing arterial plaque. Weight loss from fasting only loses10% lean tissue and 90% fat compared to the typical 25% lean tissue and 75% fat lost when calorically restricting for long periods. Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body. Blood sugar and insulin are lowered, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job. Ideal blood sugar is around 80. Some viruses activate glycolosis (the release of sugar in the body) and clinically it has been shown that decreasing glucose metabolism in the body weakens the influenza virus. When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell which are used to produce organelles and proteins. This means the mechanisms needed by viruses to replicate are by and large unavailable when you are in a deeply fasted state. What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast, though if the amount is tiny you will go back into ketosis very quickly. Most teas and herbs are OK. Most supplements and meds will either break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it and helps build muscle by increasing insulin sensitivity! Fasts of several days will not affect short term female fertility and may increase long term fertility especially in women with PCOS. The hormone Leptin is an immunomodulator that keeps the body from attacking itself and obesity causes leptin resistance. Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance and leptin levels and one day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again! Does the body preferentially prefer glucose as a fuel? No, your body always runs mainly on fat except for brief periods of very intense exercise. Your brain also prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal quantity to glucose. Fasting stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Autophagy (literally self eating) will cause cells to recycle foreign matter such as viruses and kill cancerous and senescent cells. AMPK does many helpful things in the body including activating the body's antioxidant defenses. Deep ketosis virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body. This can offset the life threatening symptoms of viral pneumonia which effectively kills you through inflammation. This also creates BHB ketones in your body, which also help your immune system and anti-oxidative system, especially in the brain. Ketones also provide an additional energy source during infection, which is critical when trying to fight off a bug. In fact you can have as much as three times the total energy available in your blood when you are in deep ketosis, or even more. It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency and thereby making cells better able to fight off infection. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism and cancer prevention! After 72 hours or more fasted, your body recycles large numbers of immune bodies and creates new ones, rejuvenating your entire immune system. When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells. This kills these cells off completely. Senescent cells are responsible for the effects of aging and are the root cause of the development of cancer. If it were possible to destroy them all it would completely stop aging and cancer. That is not possible but fasting can help limit these effects by killing off many of the affected cells and limiting the future effects of aging. Fasting also releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth, helping a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers. In fact, the biochemical regulator of BDNF production is beta-hydroxybutyrate, which is the same ketone the body produces to nourish the brain while fasting. Dieters losing weight through intermittent fasting show greater reduction in waist size and increase in insulin sensitivity for the same weight lost and alternate day fasters were shown to lose fat while gaining muscle at the same time over a six month period. Fasting reverses metabolic syndrome, which is tightly correlated to Chronic Fatiguque Syndrome, high blood pressurecancer and many other chronic diseases. Fasting has been shown to increase bone marrow volume by 10% and levels of carnosine in the body in as little as a few weeks. Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level. Eating one meal a day can bring most of these benefits to a lesser degree, and adding a few entire days off from eating per week will have even more effect especially when starting to feel poorly. Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia. Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. Those with Addison's disease may also be unable to fast without liberal use of exogenous ketones, depending on severity. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness then simply break the fast and seek advice.

Interesting

[@ruejacks]

How do you maintain that fat is prefered as the main source of fuel for the body? Glucose is always the source of energy used in the krebs cycle in the mitochondria of the cell. Only when the body has not eaten for several days does the body turn to fat as a source. It also makes no sense that we would eat diets high in fat. There's no way we would have got enough fat from the environment, looking at "primitive" diets; roots, berries, greens, grasses were likely our mainstay. Nuts were likely seasonal. Occasional and infrequent meat and fish eating depending on location. Even then most meats would have been low in fat; obviously as lean animals would have survived best to run away more easily.

[@LTPottenger]

@@ruejacks You should get your money back for whatever school you went to if you believe any of that. The main fuel source for the body is always free fatty acids. Your body always, always burns more fat than carbs unless you are sprinting. The only organ in the body that burns more carb than fat is the brain, and only when you eat a large amount of carbs. When you are born your brain is burning purely ketones, which is the main purpose of the ketone since free fatty acids can't pass the blood brain barrier. There is almost zero calories worth of plant food available in europe on a daily basis. It would be impossible to survive without hunting or agriculture, and agriculture is much more recent.

[@ruejacks]

@@LTPottenger What you say makes no sense; the body burns glucose first and only burns fat when no sources of glucose available. Why would the body convert glucose to glycogen as a storage form of carbs if the body was simply prefering to switch to fats for burning? Show me your sources for fatty acids being our main energy supply. I don't know what you mean by there being almost no calories in plant food in Europe. Grains, fruits, veg, nuts - which of these has very little in the way of calories? Are you serious?
