We broke a high temperature record for November 9. In 1911 the record high was recorded at 90.  Yesterday we hit 91.

The critical success factor for thriving is to stop making excuses about things no one can control. (Tweet that)

Like yesterday, the record high temperature.

Stay hydrated, run without the sun, and find a million creative ways to stay motivated.

Take your time but hurry up

Books on a shelf
1001 “Must Read” Books. Seriously. What changes?

 

Postponing getting active?

For when?

The unlimited, never-ending patience we have for postponing our healthy, vibrant living is so deadly.

Think of it this way with our day to day habits…

Our daily impatience is manifested in our pace. We hurry when we drive. We hurry at work. And hurrying is a sign of worrying. Worrying is a sign we are afraid of something.

Fear.

What are we afraid of?

Becoming so vibrant that all our poor health habits, our sources of pleasure and relief, will have to be abandoned, for good?

It’s never too late to change.

The time will pass anyway

Go.

People are depending on you.

Depend on yourself.

Be an example, not a warning, as you age.

The few, the smart, the hopeful

William Wallace quote
Yesterday from, of all places, a Comic Book store.

 

If you’ve traveled here via Mid Life Celebration, thank you.

Why thank you?

Because if you’ve navigated from MLC you are likely to click through the next three blogs.

What this tells me is you get it.

You get the interconnectedness between mind, body, spirit, work, and home.

There’s even a chance you believe that balance is not a myth.

It’s cool to know there are others who believe in not accepting “balance is not possible”.

Is it obvious we take our health seriously?

Golds Gym Personal Trainers Orlando
Charles is a great person. Period.

 

Became friends with Charles in 2015. We met at Golds Gym Orlando. Charles is one of those people who takes his health seriously enough that you know without ever talking to him that he takes his health seriously.

May we all become a beacon like that. Whether or not we are a personal trainer.

What change in us are we willing to subtly accomplish?

Weather 10-day Orlando forecast
Photo yesterday…Fall begins when the low temp starts with a 6.

 

What are our cues for change?

Seasonal changes become obvious eventually, but early on the change is subtle. In Orlando, breaking the 70 degree night time low is the first signifiant change. This hasn’t happened since April.

Have been enjoying the final hot humid mornings drenched in sweat knowing i will soon need to wear a t-shirt to stay warm before sunrise.

Fast forward to New Year’s Day 2016. What change in us are we willing to subtly accomplish so that eventually, the change is obvious?
