Hospice And Dying Well

Death can be scary…

We prepare for most things in life. Births, weddings, anniversaries, vacations, tests, meals, going away parties.

But prepare for death? Sure, some write a will…

More importantly though, do you have enough peace in how you are living, that death, as uncomfortable as it is to think about, doesn’t frighten you?

Track Your Health Progress

We are visual people and need proof we can see. So track your progress.

Determine what metrics you want to track and a process that’s easy to execute.

In a simple folder, I use single sheets of 8.5 x 11 paper to log all 7 days cardio (run/walk), with a section to log gym (strength/core) workouts. There’s space for a few comments too.

Play Games

Is it healthy not be too serious? To have fun too?

Exercise & dieting to lose weight, or maintain a healthy weight, can be painfully boring. Here’s how I play games to battle motivational fatigue:

  1. Remind myself how great I feel compared to when I wasn’t healthy
  2. Simply smile when people say you don’t need to worry about health
  3. Enter age-group competitions
  4. Create powerful mantras

Never get bored with the basics and tune out the prevailing societal, negative psycho babble.

Plan Ahead

Often, to keep it simple, less is more…

Life is good. Life is crazy busy too. Here’s what I do to plan ahead for a healthy year. I start at year end with a calendar for the upcoming year:

  1. List all upcoming health checkups, routine or otherwise
  2. Brainstorm when they can be scheduled, looking at big picture
  3. Make the calls to schedule them
  4. Advise work & Family

This is step one. Simple, but not easy. Procrastination is the devil.
