“I really love to Ride my bike“. That’s the first answer when people on the road questioning me: “Why you do this?!“
I liked it more than School, more than Work and in the past I wished that I can do this as a Professional but I wasn’t that talented. It was more a Passion Riding my Bike. I love the Movement, The Wind on my Skin, The Speed of travelling under my own Power and Will, I love when I am in good shape and I get ONE with the Bicycle. – Its MY way of a Zen Meditation.
Its MY way of a Zen Meditation.
Next Motivation for doing this Journey by bike is that I really want to see and experience the life and landscape of other countries and cultures. I want to see the differences and similarities to create an own image of what is a country and their people actually are, before other People, Media, News try to tell me how they should be and how I have to think about them.
Create an own Image.
The most personal reason to be on the road is a very basic. Since 15 Years I am struggling with Clinical Depression, went through Month of Therapy and had Hundreds of hour working with Professionals. All this helped me to reflect and understand myself very well but to do a life-style change I need ACTION.
BASIC ACTION every Day like, organising – food, the route for today, a place to sleep everything to keep myself on track. This in a repetitive way on & on – How long?! – Long enough to reprogram myself to become a new personality – at least ONE YEAR 🙂
BASIC ACTION every Day.
+++Disclaimer+++
THIS IS NOT a Blog where I show how to heal clinical depression by going on a bike tour. If you have depression GO TO A DOCTOR or other PROFESSIONALS! Serious. Further this is also NOT a Journey to “find myself” in a spiritual way – I am on an Endpoint of my Ability to live a normal Life and being a healthy Part of the Society. I have a lot of experience and knowledge of myself and doing this to get my SH*T TOGETHER in LIFE
