Education is a dance of comfort and discomfort

college walking tour
Walked 10 miles day one, and walked 5 miles yesterday.

 

Education is a dance of comfort and discomfort.

That’s what the assistant admissions director said.

It makes sense.

And it’s a context-neutral insight, meaning it applies to everything and everyone.

For example…

Wellness is a dance between comfort and discomfort.

Think about it.

And more importantly, do something about it.

Go.

Eat like you mean it

Healthy lunch
Yesterday’s lunch.

 

Eat like you mean it.

We all have to decide what’s worth defending.

For example, our health as we age.

And then we have to decide how hard we’ll work, how much longer we’ll work at it, and what we’ll do to change our daily habits that are driven by temptation and lack of focus (read weakness).

Go.

Yes, it can be overbearing

Chick-fil-a tables
Real plants or flowers are always on every table. Unusual for a fast-food restaurant. Stopped in to get a cup of water because i forgot a water bottle on a bike ride.

 

Chick-fil-a tables
Context. My cup of water. Live plants. Not necessary, but done anyway. Obsessive? Overbearing for the Owner to scale year-round?

 

Chick-fil-a tables
Context. Yes, every table.

 

The reason you must be 100% committed, focused, and disciplined is because everything we do is a habit.

There are few among us who can do a random, whenever-i-feel-like-it effort and get excellent results.

Simple example…

Floss your teeth every night?

It’s either a yes or a no.

Daily flossing (and i recommend after dinner/before bed) is obviously going to keep our gums cleaner than if we don’t do it daily.

To not floss daily is to not have excellence as a standard.

Yes, it can be overbearing.

When you spend a lifetime at a company like Disney, you understand overbearing is the DNA for greatness.

This is the tip of the iceberg and i don’t feel like going any further right now.

37 degrees at 6:15am

 

Out the door on a bicycle at 7:00AM…

 

weather app
Whoa is me.

 

weather app
Every degree warmer helps make the ride easier.

 

Back home from the three-hour exercise session, and just before lunch…

 

home blood pressure monitor
Started adding some salt to my diet – i’m probably deficient.

 

Was heading to Goodwill after lunch and passed by Allergy Doctor’s office…

 

flu shot agreement
Signed the flu shot agreement yesterday. No issues as of this morning.

 

37 degrees at 6:15am

Something i rarely do.

Wasn’t even sure where to look for a pair.

i do not like cold weather.

At all.

And on the seventh day he worked out

Disney Mickey Mouse power pole
Stuck (standstill at 4pm yesterday) in traffic trying to get on I-4. Where do you get your energy from?

 

And on the seventh day “he” worked out.

He being me.

Cheryl spent all week out of town handling a stressful situation.

We agreed to forego Church yesterday morning.

i had no intention Saturday to ride my bike to the gym, workout, and ride home.

But it happened anyway.
