Health Matters – Disney Employee Engagement Speaker

The need to grow, body

Waterfront view from a hotel room balcony at night — We lived here for weeks. A 1.5-mile walk to the Pacific Ocean.

Here we are, 14 months post retina-repair surgeries (there were two, 3-weeks apart). And a several-month Summer (2024) Glacier trip. Not to mention Cataract surgery in May. And you know what?

i’ve become flabby.

Thought Glacier would shred me and tone me.

Not this Summer.

i played it safe by backing off the gas peddle. Less miles. Lower intensity.

It’s literally disrespectful, if i’m being real with myself. This is my worst physical state in 25 years.

The great news?

i’m alive and lucid.

How cool is that?

i’m growing by adding this unprecedented life experience to my life resume.

Rest is pro-level

Apple iPhone alarm app screenshot — Got eight hours of sleep last night, but had to sleep-in two hours past my normal routine in order to get those eight. Knowing today is a rest day, there was no need to be out before sunrise, walking.

Just had a crazy thought. Imagine that.

If you want to be pro-level at something, wouldn’t the first and obvious path be personal vibrancy?

Move.

Rest.

Fuel.

Simplicity is operational genius.

Since you’re in charge, make your life ridiculously simple.

And then be brilliant at the basics (move, rest, fuel).

Every day is Thanksgiving

Food is fuel.

Food is essential.

Once, only rich people ate sugar.

Now, every one does.

Sugar is the new smoking.

Scary when you think about it

9-second video: biking home from Magic Kingdom. Stopped briefly for three sets of kiddie gym exercises.

Mickey orange pumpkin Halloween baseball caps — Not quite mid-August. Let the Halloween festivities begin.

Scary when you think about it.

Think about what?

Becoming so physically inactive you can’t remember what it feels like to be physically vibrant.

Even scarier, to be okay with this for the rest of your life.

How we actually move

4-second normal speed video….how fast we actually move.

Where’s the Snake Oil when you need it?
