How Much Is Enough? – Page 25 – Disney Employee Engagement Speaker

If there was a vision for the future it was yesterday

Apple Pay example — Yesterday’s second snack stop was a 25-cent investment in a banana.

If there was a vision for the future it was yesterday. Biked 13 miles to Gold’s, completed an 80-minute workout, then biked home 13 miles. This four-hour commitment included two stops to get refueling snacks, using Apple pay since i only took my phone.

It will be cool to bike to Church in the future. And the grocery store. And the Doctor.

Think small when it comes to your health

Epcot Food and Wine Festival 20th — Eating, drinking, working, family, socializing, tv, chores – a long list of distractions.

She did the Couch to 5k and it worked for her. She had never been a runner.

As our conversation progressed (we had just met five minutes prior) she shared what a struggle it is to juggle her schedule.

The bottomline, she is no longer running.

So in essence, the Couch to 5k failed.

Think about it.

She had a short term goal – a big goal relative to her past history – to do something she never did before.

Her long term goal ~~should have~~ could have been to never again be inactive.

Never. Again.

That happens one small day at a time.

The rarity is making it acceptable

Steve Jobs quote — There’s a time and a place for everything.

No gym two days ago. No run this morning.

Rare in retirement to miss either.

Why?

Because i’m so much more in control of my time.

Some recent entrepreneurial deadlines have put pressure on this retirement luxury.

Because it rarely happens, i’m not going to sweat it.

In the midst of focus and discipline is compromise and creativity.

The morning required more time than i hoped, so the run was cut short by 30 minutes. Still, at 50+ minutes, it was a run to be grateful for.

Wait, don’t tell me

Map My Run screen shot — Yesterday, September 11, a Friday.

If people knew how hard i worked to live vibrantly, they wouldn’t think is was so magical after all.

The time is going to pass whether we exercise or not.

Why not exercise?

The last day we exercise is the healthiest we will ever be for the rest of our lives.
