MM- Primal Experiment


Following a primal path in the real world requires some innovation and experimentation. To objectify the results of this kind of lifestyle experiment, it helps to keep a journal for plotting objectives and tracking progress.
For this I recommend, The Primal Blueprint 90-Day Journal, it is the latest offering from Mark Sisson who’s online resource MarksDailyApple.com is well-established as the go-to guide for modern day hunter gathers.
Integrating the principles outlined on the website, this nifty notebook encourages you to adapt concepts from the Primal Blueprint – which helps you adjust to changes in perspective and adopt new lifestyle habits.
“If you are going to achieve excellence in BIG matters, you develop the habit in LITTLE matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude” – Charles R. Swindoll
Understanding your body and uncovering which practices yeild the greatest results is the secret to ‘goal-oriented’ satisfaction. This simple formula is emphasised throughout the journal using a familar entry format with plenty of room for creative freedom.
Here are two strategies for personalising the primal lifestyle. For more ideas, Grok-friendly gear and resources, checkout the article in the November/December issue of Bare Essentials Magazine.
Plant it. Pick it. Put it on your Plate!
New to primal eating? Not sure if a food product is entirely primal?
MarksDailyApple.com doe’s a good job of covering this topic but another way of resolving any doubt is to grow your own produce. Processed foods are convienent but can be ambigious at times. Store baught groceries often lack clear information about ingredients and their source. If you really want to know, watch it grow!
Schedule A Weekend in the Wild
For the primally inclined, nature is a restorative sanctuary and should be frequented as often as possible, for play, work and workouts. Parks or urban gardens provide an opportunity to reap the rewards of fresh air and sunlight but they do not compare to immersing oneself in the great outdoors. Taking five minutes to go barefoot on the green, maybe all you can manage during the working week, so why not schedule a weekend in the wild.
