Playing it safe can be risky

We met Leonor, the founder. She is a remarkable artist. i asked Natalie if i could ask her why she took such big risks.

Playing it safe can be risky.

At lunch two days ago in one of the world’s best restaurants, i ate very little of the gourmet preparations.

My two colleagues loved the experience but (silently) had to question my cautious demeanor.

For me, the next day (yesterday) was game day.

Super Bowl Sunday.

To risk eating something i had never eaten goes against everything i do as a professional speaker.

Esteban and Ben understood my point yet unless you’ve worked with some of Disney’s most passionate Cast Members, the over-focusing could seem over-bearing and excessive.

It felt risky to play it so safe (with food) with new colleagues.

Besides diet and exercise, there are opportunities to take proactive tests to look for things no blood test will reveal.

Manage your health like you mean it.

Calcium Score Coronary CT scan, just to be safe

Calcium score Coronary CT scan
My appointment is in an hour at 630am. Photo: Last picture i took before bedtime last night – just to know what i should expect this morning.

 

Calcium Score Coronary CT scan, just to be safe.

Why?

History of heart disease in my Family.

This scan can detect plaque buildup inside the heart – something that never shows up on bloodwork results.

When you hear of healthy, active people having heart attacks, this is generally why.

Enough already, stop

Enough of the poor eating. Take a stand. Eliminate poor foods. For good. Photo from Twitter yesterday.

 

In two more clicks you’ll be at jungle jeff – the work blog – and when you get there you’ll see a post more closely themed to here, Lane 8.

The reason the content is there and not here is simple.

While i compartmentalize mind-body-spirit-work-hq in five distinct website blogs, the reality is quite compelling – everything we do influences everything else we do.

Meanwhile, this morning’s thought here is this: i’m eating like i mean it to improve my health.

Which is the paradox of “diets to lose weight to be more healthy”. Diets require unattractive restrictions, unnatural eating habits, avoidance of certain foods you have loved eating your entire life, like sweets.

i gave up processed sugar but i did not give up sweets.

What the?

Fresh fruits.

i eat a ton of it, daily.
