Photo from three days ago. As kids, walking took too long, so we ran.

 

Each day it’s the same two choices.

  1. Step forward with a healthy conviction about our personal responsibility for being active, eating well, and resting well.
  2. Step back into the (delusional) safety of our comfort zone of apathy, indifference, and excuses.

It really is this simple.

Either choice is sustainable for a lifetime.

Why would we not exploit this key wellness insight?

Heading to work before sunrise. Chilly too.

 

The effect regular exercise has on our attitude, our spirit, our work and our home life is extraordinary.

Why would we not exploit that?

Is it because we can’t afford it? The time to do it, is that what we can’t afford?

Or is it that we can’t afford the risk it takes to let go of the things holding us back from carving out the time and commitment?
