Finding this harder to do as i age

Disney Motivational Speakers
Christmas evening Family bike ride, yesterday. Shirt buttoned to top because of the cool crisp air. PS. Photo taken while bicyccling.

Finding this harder to do as i age.

What?

Understand (and accept) why the human species, in general, does not:

  1. Exercise cardiovascularly
  2. Exercise for strength
  3. Eat properly
  4. Rest well
  5. Stretch
  6. Exercise core
  7. Get and stay motivated

 Can someone explain this to me please?

Totally feeling like a misfit, outcast, crazy, freak.

To be honest, it totally does not bother me. 

Talking (writing) about it publically helps people process their thoughts and strengthen their understanding of and conviction to an intentional life.

Because of this phenomenon, i kept writing on day 101 of a 100-day self-imposed writer’s bootcamp in 2009.

It’s also the reason i haven’t missed a day writing five daily, differently-themed posts, since April 1, 2009.

Crystalized intelligence – all butts will sag

Disney University
Yesterday, November 5, 83 degrees at Disney University.

 

Crystalized intelligence – all butts will sag.

The Magic with our Golden Years, if we invested well, is that aging will go much better for us than if we hadn’t invested decently in cardio, strength, nutrition, rest, flexibility, core, and motivation.

If you have yet to reach your Golden Years, here’s to decent investing.

Is it ever too late to invest more?

Slow and steady decline

Glacier National Park glaciers
The Glaciers are dying.

 

Slow and steady decline.

It happens in nature.

We are part of nature.

And so it happens to us.

Naturally.

Wait.

Have humans inadvertently found ways to accelerate their decline?

Is it possible to dance with nature and extend the life expectancy?

But if we can’t influence longevity, can we have a say in the quality of life – you know, the notion of personal vibrancy?

Apparently, physical vibrancy promotes contagious energy

Yesterday’s view as you exited the Waldorf Astoria’s (at Disney) ballroom.

 

(intentional third person dialogue)

Apparently, physical vibrancy promotes contagious energy.

A physically vibrant 59-year old just does what he does, without thinking about it.

He’s focused on reaching people’s hearts and being the transformational catalyst to help them .think .differently

Many of yesterday’s audience comments revolved around the energy and enthusiasm that’s part of his speaking style.

The CEO led the personal comments.

He appeared to be the same age.

It was not his intent to remind anyone that older adults – particularly busy business leaders – are probably not spending enough time honoring the temple housing everything keeping them alive.

Who’s the most important member of your healthcare team?

Healthy and active aging
Healthy and active aging is possible. Just ask 93-year-old Dixon Hemphill (L) and 100-year-old Orville Rogers (R). And it requires a lifetime commitment once you decide to start. You can start at any time, but quitting is not conducive to lifetime wellness.

 

 

Who’s the most important member of your healthcare team?

Family Doctor?

Dentist?

Optometrist?

Specialist(s)?

As we age, we have the increased odds of having a larger team.

So your answer?

You are the most important member of your healthcare team.

Go.

Be well.

PS. Link to the sprint rematch two days ago. And a bonus featuring 102-year old Hurricane Hawkins – setting the 100m and 60m world records.
