Exercise Change Leadership?

Change leadership.  Personal leadership.  Great Leaders use these buzzwords.  And why not?  They sound inspiring and focused.

All with a simple purpose – to make things better. And it’s harder than ever to make things better.

So, how can we make things better?

What if we restated the beginning phrases:

  1. Transformational change
  2. Transformational leadership

And it all starts with the person in the mirror.  And next it starts with a commitment to get healthy and stay healthy.

Ya in?

Parents Teachers Students

As adults, we are all of these – parents (most of us anyway), teachers, students.

Adults, due to societal norms and conditioning, often have us unconsciously – especially through media – teaching children “rights” versus teaching children “responsibilities”.

America was founded on, and defended for, the right that all (wo)men are created equal.  Innocent until proven guilty. The right to vote. And to pursue happiness, etc.

But where and when do we teach children about responsibilities? Exercise your body.  Enrich your mind through books. Pray and give thanks for your many blessings.  Get an education and a good job.

You may not realize this.  I never did, until one day, it hit me. Children look to adults for role models. If you don’t take care of your health, why should they?

3 Simple Exercise Tips

Three simple exercise tips we can all do to make exercise a more important part of our lives:

  1. Commit to it for a lifetime
  2. Do it for someone else
  3. Try to have fun on your journey

Simple.  But simple doesn’t mean easy.  Most likely, whatever you want to accomplish with your health and exercise goals, is well, impossible. Which is perfect.  Carpe diem.

Yes, staying with a healthy routine is hard.  It’s difficult.  Don’t let anyone try to tell you otherwise.

I mean, even if you are highly motivated, eventually, you will find it easier to not keep your routine.

Look at professional athletes, or even Olympic Gold Medalists.  Are they the picture of health and wellness ten years later?

Hey, thanks for visiting, gotta go for now.  Exercise is calling my name.  It would be much easier to ignore the call, but ultimately, life is hard. Do it. Now!  Carpe diem.
