Look in your pantry

Eating late and eating sugar-laden foods are symptoms of a lack of hope some deeper disharmony.

Look in your pantry.

What are the predominant food choices and quantities, particularly the snack-type items?

The decision for our food choices starts long before we open our pantry door.

Ever ask yourself, “Why do i pick these, and why so many of them?”

What does this say about my commitment to aging well?

Tried and true may be the devil’s work

It’s so ridiculously easy to find tried and true reasons to remain comfortable indoors, especially when it’s wintery cold outside.

Reflecting on the observation that no one in this facility seems to have a passion for physical exercise.

Will this be me in 20 years, as a 76 year old?

Why could I not find a single person?

Why could i not find a single person who needed to defend their physical health in a convincing manner?

Someone who made time for exercise, was intentional about their food choices and intake, (and invisibly focused on adequate rest), in a deliberate yet unobtrusive way.

Similar to an intensely spiritual person who has the ability to not make others uncomfortable with their passion.

Is that unreasonable?

Insight: What does defending something resemble? It would look, sound, and feel like someone who is “in training” for something.

When do we become unconvinced?

Yesterday.

 

When do we become unconvinced that regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and adequate rest are critical to our aging journey?

Observing senior life from multiple overnight visits to the nursing home/senior living facility, it would, unfortunately, appear to happen decades too soon.

Insight: Never let that happen. Ever.
