In this episode of FitChic for Life, Natalie interviews Monk Shen Dojo. As a follow-up to the previous episode, they talk about enlightenment, the importance of staying present at the current moment, and how the mind tricks us into thinking about something else rather than what we are experiencing. Monk Shen also speaks about his background and the reasons that inspired him to become a monk.

With a past in martial arts and fitness, Shen explains that life in a monastery has made him more focused on the important things and less stressed about life because now he has more structure – which sometimes can ease the body and the mind. According to Shen, the biggest lesson of this experience is seeing everything changing – he finally let go of control. Tune in!
