Woke up at 7am in Prague. Got in my meditation and Qi Gong in the hotel. Packed and ready, lugging over 70 pounds of bags, groceries, gear. Train leaves at 8:20am for Austria. I’m feeling goooood.

Call an Uber thinking it’ll be fast like usual (nope). 15-minute wait. By the time it arrives, the clock’s ticking hard. We drive through morning traffic, and I get dropped with about 10 minutes left. I’m soaked in sweat already.

Inside the massive station—everything’s in Czech. I can’t read anything. I’m darting around, trying to decipher signs while dragging my luggage. Finally I see the train platform in the distance… I sprint, body overheating, heart racing, only to watch the train pull off right in front of me!!

I take a moment, breathe. Then head toward the nearby bus station, walking with all my stuff under the rising sun. About halfway there, I see a Lime scooter. I used the app back in Berlin. Quick unlock. I’m rolling again gripping all my heavy shit 😂

But Prague has this designated parking zone rule. I’m mid-stress, trying to lock the scooter, app glitching, no zones in sight. Finally find one, ditch it, and make it to the bus station.

Another $80 down. I ask about my bus, looking for signs, but it already left. Now I’m $130 in the hole between that and the train. I’m dripping in sweat, yogurt exploded in my bag, navigating a foreign city with everyone rushing around me like I’m invisible.

I decide to take the metro back to the main station. This time, I’m early. Regulated. Not frazzled. Just aware.

And that’s why I live healthy. Why I train, eat right, and sharpen my nervous system. Not for looks. For moments like this. When life is WILD, and I can still breathe through it.

You can’t always control what hits you. But you can choose how strong and clear you meet it.
