Doing things faster and better is not the solution

Be first in your category or be the category. Boldness does have genius.

What does this mean for wellness? It means you’re in charge. It’s your responsibility to find creative solutions to impossible obstacles.

No guts, no glory.

It may mean taking a demotion at work. It may mean eliminating certain pleasurable habits that (only temporarily) relieve stress. It certainly means that change is the only solution.

Do you have an obligation to overmanage your personal culture?

Culture quote
Read the executive summary for “A Year Without Pants” the other day.

 

Maybe he doesn’t live in the real world. Maybe he unfairly gets more hours per day than everyone else.

Maybe he’s learned to be intentional where most are unintentional.

Maybe he overmanages his time and priorities in ways others either under manage or ignore completely.

Life’s a bitch an amazing opportunity, in spite of it all.

What happens when you convince creativity that you care?

Focus and discipline will reward you when you least expect it.

Creativity knows you care, and rewards you, when you embrace it like a trusted friend.

Yesterday’s run was cut short because of time. A five mile run became meaningful and motivating when it was approached differently than in the past.

What if i could run it in less than 40 minutes? This would require a level of focus and effort rarely accomplished outside of an organized race. Bottomline it was motivating enough to accomplish something cool… 38:36.

After the first warmup mile, the last four miles averaged 7:24. Never saw that coming.

Last night was the 11th straight night of eight hours sleep.

The last time this happened was, um…sorry, can’t recall the last time.

The difference between exercise strategy and exercise tactics

Middle school classroom
Kids run everywhere, even in a classroom.

 

Remember how as kids how we would run versus walk, even across a classroom?

What do you look forward to on a daily basis?

Many think runners absolutely love to run. Yes, and…

Yes, and they do not feel like this everyday, nor are they exempt from all the time pressures everyone faces.

Finding our purpose for staying healthy is the foundational (intentional) strategy. The actual activity we choose is the tactic.

Tactics change if and when necessary. Strategy is timeless.
