"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem."
I'm sure we've all heard that before. Maybe from a person collecting for charity, our friends or family, a protest, or even a judge.
"Like, I'm sorry your honour, I HAD to check how many people viewed my Insta story of my heavily filtered breakfast, while I drove over the speed limit through a school zone!"
That could legit be a true story though, if Tauranga's shocking phone use while driving stats are anything to go by.
Anyway, over the weekend I was part of the problem up a mountain. I went to Mt Ruapehu, Whakapapa ski field, on Saturday for a little day trip to slide down a volcano on a plank. I love my snowboarding, for the same reason I like golf ... when I'm doing either of those things there is literally nothing else on my mind for a majority of the time, apart from the task at hand.
For those like me, who find it hard sometimes to disconnect from life for a bit, it's super important that you find these things that switch off an over-active brain. Ok, sometimes I replace my thoughts with pure aggression and self-loathing on the golf course when I've just driven two balls off the tee straight into the water, but still, at least I'm focused on just one thing!
