Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
What is wellness?
Wellness is the overall balance between life’s four big decisions:
Many think balance is only two-sided. You know, personal and professional balance.
This is where people have a huge opportunity. Life is four, not two.
This is why so many people struggle. Why so many fail.
Being good in three out of four doesn’t deliver balance, happiness, or peace.
Can’t exercise?
Won’t exercise?
Big difference.
Greetings from Lowell, Massachusetts. Up here to give a couple speeches, to change the world.
Exercising when traveling is challenging. Agreed? It’s easy to cave in to the pressures that come with a busy, and unpredictable schedule.
To manage this, I plan my “rest days” to be part of, or all of the trip. It doesn’t make things perfect, but it sure helps manage the guilt and pressure when you can’t exercise.
This is how it goes. To be healthy you have to work at it. Sometimes it feels like a chore. And sometimes it’s gloriously exhilarating.
Sometimes, there are no words necessary. This is one of those times:
Ok, so world-famous author, Nicholas Sparks, was an 800 meter runner at University of Notre Dame. For those of you who know, his 1:49.00 split is a very respectable time.
Then he developed plantar fasciitis, a painful and chronic inflammation of the plantar fascia tendon that runs from our heel to our toes.
This ended his running ambitions. Good thing he knew how to write. Well, not at first. But look at him today.
And that’s today’s lesson at Lane 8.
We are never very good at something when we first try. Whether it’s running or writing, both take years and tons of practice to gradually build confidence and results. Same for everything in life too.
But you already knew that, didn’t you? Then what are you complaining about? Keep going. Shut up. And never quit.
