Waking up in your own bed, body

Google map
Upper left corner, 5:29am. Goal was 5:30am departure.

Not only are we waking up in our own bed for the first time in three weeks (which we wouldn’t trade being gone those three weeks for anything), we are privileged to exercise in our established community, (sleep in our own bed), and eat in our own dining room.

Simple pleasures and privileges.

Easy to take for granted when you do them day in and day out.

But miss them for an extended time and marvel at how much you missed them.

What seems like a mundane daily routine can paradoxically feel like the royal, VIP treatment.

Final 24 hours in Australia, body

Two kangaroos
Four kangaroos look like only two. But there are two hiding in plain sight.
12-second video: The end of this clip shows the Roo jumping.
37-second video: One of the ‘invisible’ Roos becomes visible here.

Reflecting on the past three weeks and the next 24 hours, this is a dominating physical thought….

Motivation is strength.

To have strong motivation is the key to physical vibrancy.

Note: Aging has an unusual way of convincing humans that it’s time to relax. Once we start sitting more than we move, our decline wins. i am highly motivated to .think and .act .differently

Physically return

Prohibition protests
Moderation is important. Especially with sitting, sugar, and slothfulness.

If you want excellent returns on your investments to get and stay healthy, you have to invest in consistency.

Consistency compounds average into excellent.

Let’s use good and decent as our “average” definition.

Average movement.

Average rest.

Average fuel.

Good and decent done consistently for decades yields unfathomable wellness results.

Note: Obviously, temptations are rampant everywhere, everyday. This should never normalize thinking it’s okay to follow the temptations.

Can’t wait for tomorrow morning’s physically familiar place, timing, and routine to arrive.

Physical Vlog break

5-second video: Not our hometown. More like a home away from home.

Today’s walk and exercise was low intensity.

Why?

That head-cold and chest congestion.

Don’t make this mistake

7-second video: Never again confuse the two. Note: Everyone makes this mistake.

Training and development is talked about the same way creativity and innovation is talked about.

What?

How?

The two-part formula (1. training & 2. development) (1. creativity & 2. innovation) is continuously referenced as a single formula.

Training and development are two entirely different things.

One is full of structure and process designed to produce compliance to the highest professional standards.

One is full of relationships and understanding designed to produce unwavering commitment.

Compliance and commitment are light years apart.

Are you compliant or committed to your physical vibrancy?
