Prabowo Subianto has identified swimming as his favourite method of\n\u2018healing\u2019 amidst his current busy schedule as the President of the\nRepublic of Indonesia for the 2024-2029 period.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is healing? Swimming. Swimming is very important to me. It is\nmeditation in the water,\u201d he stated during the \u2018Presiden Prabowo\nMenjawab\u2019 programme, as reported on Friday (18\/9).<\/p>\n
He subsequently cited research indicating that swimming serves as a\nform of meditation for humans. Prabowo noted that this is linked to the\nhuman life cycle, specifically the period spent in the womb protected by\nfluid, such as the amniotic fluid surrounding a foetus during\npregnancy.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we are tired or stressed, we take a bath, right? Especially if\nwe swim, according to psychologists,\u201d said the Chairman of the Gerindra\nParty\u2019s Board of Trustees.<\/p>\n
In addition to swimming, Prabowo mentioned that sleeping and reading\nbooks are other methods he uses for relaxation. He noted that he\noptimises his time by sleeping whenever possible, even if only for a\nshort duration.<\/p>\n
He also mentioned that he is someone who can fall asleep easily. \u201cI\nread and I sleep. When there is time to sleep, I sleep, whether it is\nfor 10, 15, or 20 minutes. I can sleep in a car, in a helicopter, or in\nan aeroplane,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
During the session, Prabowo also shared that one of his favourite\nreading genres is history, admitting his passion for the subject. He\nmentioned one of his favourite books is titled \u2018Warrior of the Light\u2019 by\nthe Brazilian novelist Paulo Coelho.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe book is not very thick, it is thin; it was written by a\nBrazilian, Paulo Coelho, \u2018Warrior of the Light\u2019,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Prabowo expressed great admiration for the book, stating that it is\ndeeply connected to his life. He remarked that while reading it, it felt\nas though Coelho was speaking directly to him.<\/p>\n
He recalled first discovering the book when it was given to him by\nhis sister, Maryani Djojohadikusumo, in the early 2000s.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was at what could be called my lowest point; I had just stepped\ndown in 98\/99, I was accused of all sorts of things\u2014coups, this and\nthat, kidnappings\u2014I was at my lowest point,\u201d said the former TNI\nofficer, who holds the rank of Honorary General, during his tenure as\nMinister of Defence in the previous administration.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/prabowos-personal-coping-mechanisms-swimming-sleeping-and-reading-1789775486", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
