The easier it is to get healthy, the less it’s worth

Mid Life Celebration book
Over three years ago…submitting files to the publisher.

 

i am biased because i believe the long way is the short cut – the easier it is to get healthy, the less it’s worth.

Yes, taking pills solves for many issues that arise as we age.

Here’s a thought…there’s a preventative “pill” that attacks many ailments before their onset.

The pill?

Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and adequate rest.

And don’t even get me started on “stress reduction” – having spiritual/emotional strength to manage a generally overwhelming and unpredictable life.

Retooling our busy schedule

Yesterday on LinkedIn. i feel the same way about personal wellness.

 

Retooling our busy schedule to fit in regular exercise?

How can we not?

The best time to do this was when we were in High School.

The second best time is this week.

Go.

A walk in the park

A walk in the park Sunday morning was leisurely and enjoyable. We had no pressing issues to handle. We had time on our hands.

The challenge is what to do on the 99.9% of our days when that is not the case.

A second simple question

Where would we be if we didn’t have the capacity to choose?

Each day contains a simple choice in the morning

Each day contains a simple choice in the morning.

Exercise or don’t exercise.

In the early years when we resolve to become active, it’s far too easy to revert back to our inactive selves.

Let’s assume we successfully push through that stage.

In later years however, after we’ve conquered inertia and made commitment a habit, it’s easier to take our long-term efforts for granted.

A slippery slope.

The long way is the short cut.

Become an example instead of a warning.
