Don’t read the fine print, write it

Orlando Motivational Keynote Speakers
Reading the fine print?

 

The only way to make a New Year’s resolution stick for the rest of our lives is to make “the rest of our lives” part of our contract.

Conventional cliches revolve around “make sure you read the fine print”.

Try this on for size:

Make sure you write the fine print.

You, yes you. Write your contract with yourself. Add the fine print. You know, the clause that says, “I must do this or everything is null and void.”

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Please don’t bore us with what you are going to do differently

Lonesome country road in the fog
The loneliness of the daily commitment to lifetime wellness.

 

Please don’t bore us with what you are going to do differently this year.

Instead, surprise, delight, and inspire with what you’ve already done.

Hope is a great strategy, but it is a poor tactic.

Creativity is rampant here

Intellect is accentuated with physical wellness.

 

Creativity is rampant here.

Where?

Anywhere you want it to be.

But it has to be a deeply embedded habit. Otherwise it won’t be a habit. (That’s called a blinding flash of the obvious.)

Last night we jogged six mailboxes, but we mixed it up (got creative) to offset some chest pains.

Instead of jogging six consecutive mailboxes, we jogged three, then walked three, then completed the second three, and finished with walking three more mailboxes to finish where we began.

Guess what?

No pain.

Plus, a remarkably surprising thing happened. The second jog of three mailboxes was the fastest pace we have ever had, and we didn’t even try.

Why?

Because we were warmed up. It was an aha moment.

And even at the fastest pace, no chest pain.

Can you do an 8-miler before heading to Montreal?

Have been thinking about how to pull this off this morning, knowing that i need to be out the door at 7:45am for Orlando International airport.

Bags packed last night? Check.

All other logistics taken care of last night? Check.

Ok. Time for a run. Check.

Six freezing miles

New age selfie yesterday. Dorney Park in the background.

 

Six freezing miles.

Four upper (chest) body layers.

Two lower (shorts) body layers.

Gloves and a hat.

Keep the vital (heart, lungs) organs warm and sensitive extremities (head, hands) covered, and you don’t need sweat pants.

What’s crazier, running in freezing weather in shorts, or not exercising as we age?
