Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Vitamins, minerals, supplements, fiber, protein, carbohydrates, fats, and the list goes on and on. No wonder we struggle to sort through to the basic, common sense health strategy that will work for us.
We can worry about this some other time, say when the phone rings, “Hello, this is your wake-up call. You’ve neglected your health all your life and now you have to pay the price. Have a nice day”.
Are you crystal clear about why you do what you do?
Are you crystal clear about why you don’t do the things you do?
Most aren’t. It’s the difference between living “on purpose” or “going through the motions“.
Going through the motions doesn’t make a person bad, and it certainly doesn’t make a person thrive.
You have the opportunity to take a stand, for yourself, and live more on purpose than you ever have. Because if you don’t, it’s guaranteed that you will experience physical and psychological discomfort.

On the track, polar opposites.
Whatever your health goals are, there is no one “correct” way to pursue them. We all need to remind ourselves that in fact, there may be many approaches over our lifetime.
We can learn a lot by watching others. Others can learn a lot by watching us. Knowing this, do you consider yourself a health example or a health warning?
I am not a medical doctor. And do not possess any scientific answers you may be seeking.
You know this. Everyone knows this. But I do know one thing. We all get one life. It will be difficult. And if we are decently lucky, it will also be fairly long.
Do you treat your body like a temple or a tent?
Ever cross paths with someone you haven’t seen in a while and they look great?
And you ask the question, “You look great, what have you done?”
And they say, “I started eating better and exercising regularly.”
