Hi Rizkers, welcome to takeArizk!
Here, we encourage you to take risks
to get back in touch with this desire
we all have to live our lives to the fullest!
I'm Marc-André Rizk, founder of takeArizk.com
This week, we may very well lose face
with a rizk called "Keeping your cool!".
Is it hard for you to keep your cool
when people disagree with what you say?
If you're like me, it happens to you once in a while.
For example, when I talk to my dad.
And it costs me big time when I can't keep my cool.
It happened again a few weeks ago.
We were talking about some of my life choices.
For instance, heeeeeeeee's not so sure about takeArizk.
So, this afternoon we're in the Parc de la Visitation
in Montréal for a rizk that should definitely help us
keep our cool!
As you're about to see, we take this expression
very seriously!
For the rizk this week, you will be allowed:
your tuque (hat), your boots, and your underwear.
Ladies, we're very nice here at takeArizk
so we'll let you keep your bra!
You will see me run across the bridge here,
then around this little wooded area in front of us
as fast as I can because I'll be honest with you
it's a little chilly right now!
Rizkers, if there's no bridge close to where you live,
it's no big deal!
The important thing is for you
to get outside and run in your underwear!
Are we ready Ben?
Let's do this!
Oh boyyyyy! There's a gentle breeze!
Hey, I think filming this rizk over and over
again is getting me in shape!
We feel good after...revigorated!
It's pretty cold!
It's now your turn, Rizkers, and let's talk about it more after I'm done getting dressed!
Now that we're back inside where it's warm,
let's take a closer look at our rizk this week.
''Keeping your cool'' is about an emotion
that is still very difficult for me to express... anger.
Anger is a part of our lives, uh here on Earth!,
and I have a hard time accepting it!
Before, I would keep everything inside.
Today, I can let it out more easily
but too often still, I speak with an accusing tone
when I express my anger.
I lose my cool.
And when we lose our cool, it usually means
we're not centered. Not being centered means
we're not coming from what's at the center
right here...our heart.
And since here at takeArizk, our mission is to
guide you to follow your heart more,
it becomes very important to learn to keep our cool.
Now, I know very well our rizk this week
looks a little ridiculous,
but it's one of the ways to make sure we don't
accuse the other when we express our anger.
This week, when you'll feel like you're about to explode,
go get some fresh air. You'll see,
it helps to cool off!
But do it in your underwear though!
Yes, because for one, it's so cold outside these days
that it will literally cool you off!
And second, well it will remind you not to
take yourself too seriously, that it's okey if it
still comes out the wrong way sometimes.
The goal is not to never lose it again, but to learn.
Learn to communicate more efficiently.
And just so you know, even when you'll
come from the heart, people may still think
what you say, what you do and the life choices you make,
are ridiculous. So what?
Remember one thing, it's okey to look a little foolish.
Just like anger, looking stupid is a part of the human existence
and that doesn't mean it's something to avoid
at all cost.
It's something to accept as a part
of our life.
So, dare to lose face.
You'll discover soon enough that
it's not about to go anywhere!
Have a great week Rizkers!
