PHILOSOPHY
J is for JURAMENTO. This is a Portuguese | Spanish word for Oath or Promise. It stands for the oath we take with ourselves on our journey in life.
5 is for the 5 Elements: FIRE, WOOD, EARTH, WATER AND METAL. In Chinese Medicine, similar to the theory of Yin-Yang, the the theory of the 5 Elements is used to interpret the relationship between the Physiology and Pathology of the Human Body and the Natural Environment.
It’s about Alignment and Balance of all systems and elements… Inward and Outward.
J + 5 = A PROMISE TO STRIVE FOR BALANCE INWARD AND OUTWARD
IN ORDER TO MAKE A CHANGE YOU HAVE TO START FROM WITHIN – J5
BODY
Being a BEING of flesh and bones, we have our bodies to take care of. The body’s maintenance is essential for vitality and longevity. Sleep, Exercise, Nutrition, and Recovery are the foundation to the body’s energy balance and energy transfer.
Take it day by day
Keep it Simple
MIND
Everything done in life has to start from the mind. From bad habits to good habits, the mind is the most powerful thing we have. The mind can create or break down, and it is up to us to evaluate what works and what does not work for us. Building the exterior of your temple needs to have a solid interior (or foundation) to sustain it. Mastering your thought patterns is essential to growth.
Our biggest influence in performance is… Our Thoughts
