The privilege of making mistakes, body

photo of , No Lifeguard sign at Florida Beach
Should say, no lifeguard, be sedentary at own risk.

Is it a human privilege to make mistakes?

i think it is.

The privilege of making mistakes is only for people who act.

Why?

Intentional action leads to outcomes.

Outcomes lead to learning.

Learning leads to growth.

Growth is the essence of life.

Like a broken record, and as simple as i can humanly make it:

  1. Move well
  2. Fuel well
  3. Rest well
  4. Motivate yourself well

This won’t save you from unexpected tragedy, but it will save you from neglect’s impact.

Time poor, body

Arnold Palmer quote
Wonder if Arnie was referring to staying active for a lifetime. Or overcoming tragedy.
Alzheimers disease statistics
Tragic news for humans. Perhaps also tragic is in less time than every 68 seconds after most high schooler’s graduate they decide to never again exercise.
Buddism quote
We can control many things. Heck yes it’s challenging and feels impossible sometimes. And we also know we will never be able to control many things.

Am i time poor? And, does it even matter?

Time poor is when you are so busy, you cannot afford to waste any time.

You are living without any discretionary time.

No extra time to do something that isn’t required.

Moving well isn’t required to live a life.

Fueling well isn’t required to live a life.

Resting well isn’t required to live a life.

Motivating yourself well isn’t required to live a life.

Physical vibrancy is a time, effort, and resources investment.

Decades ago i committed to never being too busy to get and stay physically vibrant.

Note: My other commitment is to maintain this commitment should an unthinkable event happen. Time will tell.

Busy is not sexy, body

New routines. What will be lost? What will be gained?

Remember how we used to run everywhere – walking was too slow?

2015…Began the morning in pain, but was able to run a 10-miler. Note: Literally negative splits for eight miles.

Why is being busy not sexy?

Why?

Wait, you haven’t figured this out yet?

Saying you’re too busy to focus on your health?

Too busy indeed.

Letting go of posturing, body

quote about tomorrow
LinkedIn offered unexpected insights now and then..
Gene Wilder quote
Screen shot from LinkedIn years ago.

Is it possible to finally, for good, let go of habitual, societal posturing?

Of all the posturing i’ve done in my lifetime, physical health has been the most avoided.

Why?

Good question.

Probably because physical wellness is one of life’s most elusive goals.

Pursuing physical wellness always made perfect sense to me.

A roller coaster with fit and unfit until age 40.

Since then, only fit.

By the way, my blogging will never count as posturing because no one knows i do it. To me, writing here at Lane8.org is a diary of me coaching me.

Let my life be my medicine, body

O Magazine cover
Check out the lower left corner… what is Oprah’s health track record? What is mine? That’s the only one making headlines for me.

Can i let my life be my ‘prescription medicine’?

Conventional wisdom, historical wisdom, common sense wisdom…

Take care of yourself.

Who on this planet doesn’t get that?

‘Getting it’ is one thing.

Getting on with it, with a lifetime physical vibrancy vision and implementation is another.

Been getting on it since turning 40.
