This week, my partner and I are heading to the South of France for a much-needed break. But this isn't just any vacation – it's a deliberate step away from the digital world that often consumes us.

Now, don't get me wrong. Social media is part of my job, and I'm guessing it plays a role in your life too. But have you noticed how it can sometimes pull you away from the present moment?

How it can amp up your anxiety and leave you feeling... well, not great?

I've been feeling it lately. That nagging sense that I'm not doing enough, or that the world's gone a bit mad. Sound familiar?

So, we've decided that while we're in France, we're going to use our phones for one thing and one thing only - to guide us on amazing hikes and to that refreshing lake we heard about.

No scrolling, no posting, no constant updates. Just us, nature, and a much-needed digital detox.

I'm telling you this because I think we've all lost touch with something fundamental - our connection to nature. As humans, we evolved in the natural world.

It's where we come from, and it's where we often find our deepest sense of peace. When was the last time you felt truly present, truly calm? Chances are, you were outdoors.

Being in nature, whether it's a hike through the woods or a quiet moment in your local park, has a way of quieting the mind. It allows us to step back from the constant chatter of our digital lives and just... be.

And you know what? You don't actually have to jet off to France to experience this. Even just making a little time for nature each day - even if it's just a few minutes - can have a profound impact on your well-being. It's amazing what even a short outdoor break can do for the mind and body.

So, I want to challenge you. While I'm away, why not try to spend a little more time in nature? It could be a daily walk, a weekend hike, or even just sitting under a tree in your lunch break. Notice how it makes you feel. Notice the calm it brings.

This week is also Men's Health Week, which will run from June 9th to 15th, 2025, an annual awareness week dedicated to highlighting health concerns that disproportionately affect men, with a particular focus on mental health.

And speaking of challenges, I have an exciting opportunity for you. While I'm disconnecting in France, I want to help you connect with your health and fitness goals.

For a limited time, I'm offering my Cycle Lean Blueprint course for just £49, down from £97.

This course is designed to kickstart your weight loss and cycling journey. It's packed with strategies, workouts, and nutrition advice to help you get lean and boost your cycling performance.

And at this price, it's an incredible value.

Why am I doing this? Because I believe that taking care of your body through cycling is another powerful way to connect with yourself and the world around you. It's about more than just losing weight – it's about feeling strong, capable, and alive.

So, if you've been thinking about making a change, now is the perfect time.

While I'm away, reconnecting with nature, you can start reconnecting with your body and your goals.

Don't miss out on this opportunity. The offer is only available until I return, so act now to secure your spot in the Cycle Lean Blueprint course for just £49.

Here's to disconnecting from the digital noise and reconnecting with what truly matters – our health, our happiness, and the beautiful world around us.

Catch you on the flip side,

Neil
