An insidious habit of focusing on urgency rather than importance

It’s often challenging to schedule medical checkups due to busy schedules or simply because we have an insidious habit of focusing on urgency rather than importance.

Live like you mean it means taking regular risks, escaping our comfort zone.

Driving home from Gold’s gym yesterday made a spontaneous decision one block before missing the opportunity to turn right to see Dr Wagner, unscheduled.

Otherwise, it could end up being December and going, uh oh.

She said she doesn’t have a weight scale in her house

What responsibility do we have to be honest with our friends? With ourselves?

 

She said she doesn’t have a weight scale in her house. A moment before she said someone had made her day by asking if she was losing weight. She said she has been trying for so long (years?), and was thrilled someone had noticed.

She also said when she goes to the doctor she closes her eyes when stepping on the scale.

So you weigh yourself like once or twice a year?

How can we improve what we do not measure?

We’re gonna miss this

We’re gonna miss this.

The ability to do hard physical labor.

Scrubbing floors, the constant bending from pulling weeds, carrying the laundry up and down the stairs.

It can get a little confusing but it doesn’t have to be. We all struggle with the demands on our time, energy, priorities. There are no exceptions.

And then there’s this Mid Life Celebration blogging thing where the author, jeff noel (yeah, that’s me), talks about himself and shares photos of himself.

Egotistical jerk-a-saurous, right?

There is no theory here. Only a guy constantly struggling like everyone else.

He had two days planned rest, then two additional days he was forced to not run due to a heavier work load.

And yesterday ran a 5:52 mile. In practice. Alone. Headwind.

Insight: Have no remorse in telling excuses to kiss our butt.
