April Fools Day 2018 is another new beginning

New gym. New routine, What will be lost? What will be gained?

 

April Fools Day 2018 (yesterday) is another new beginning.

After 26 years of living in our current home, we finally have a gym one mile away.

And after 12 years driving 25 miles round trip to Golds Gym, the commute is down to two miles.

Making uncomfortable choices is a big part of controlling our thoughts.

Make being uncomfortable your comfort zone.

Go.

What if you tried to live according to what’s possible

In movies, this is called the establishing shot. Is it a trap? Or are they helping a distressed driver or wild animal?  As i got closer it was obvious…

In movies, this is called the closeup. We can clearly see the details. No distress. No wildlife. Highway Patrol speed trap near Disney.

Establishing shot as i biked home from the gym yesterday. Florida vultures on sidewalk. Highway is far from sidewalk. What could this mean?

A dead Armadillo. And a meal for two lucky (and hungry) vultures.

Open meadow near Walt Disney World. All of today’s photos were taken on the 20k bike ride home from the gym. These final two pictures less than a mile from home. The top right flower looks like a lamb with big ears. Didn’t notice until this morning.

 

What if you tried to live according to what’s possible for your future instead of what’s been defined by your past.

Can you see yourself as vibrantly healthy?

Active.

Alive.

Joyful.

Content.

At peace.

Rode a bicycle to my annual physical yesterday.

This was on top of the 40k bike trip to gym and back.

Gonna be 59 in exactly three months.

No biking 40k roundtrip to the gym today.

Heading out in a few minutes to catch a plane.

The goal today will be to walk 10 miles and do some planks and stretch in the hotel.

Business clothes shipped via UPS.

All i have this morning is the small Glacier National Park backpack.

Unbound.

Confirm commitment?

Today, can you eat a little more deliberately, exercise in a way that’s sustainable for a lifetime, and go to bed early enough to get your optimal sleep (somewhere around 8 hours)?

Can you?

When we push ourselves daily, our resolve grows and our spine strengthens with courage and determination.

In the absence of daily boundary-pushing, we are left with nothing to stiffen our spine.

Coach yourself today to do something scary.

Even in failing, you’ve conquered fear.
