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.

Wellness is a commitment that needs fun

As we jogged together as a family yesterday for the first time since Summer, i smiled at how many months we’ve been out the door at 5:15am or 6:15am.

Cheryl and i hit it around 5:15am. Chapin and i around 6:15am.

Our distance is nearly 1,200 meters.

If i used distance to measure success, we’d get a low grade.

If i use longevity to measure success, compared to not running at all, we are a smashing success.

What makes common sense decently uncommon?

healthy teens
Do any of the three believe the other two friends are significantly smarter.

Do you think you will be better able to excel at whatever your work is if you exercise regularly or if you don’t?

The challenge with being excellent is that you will carry a lifetime of desire with you to sustain that momentum for your lifetime. Yet life comes with temptations, unhealthy shortcuts, harmful distractions designed to derail excellence. The great news is that you can develop, adjust, and hone your habits and rituals to ensure your foundation remains solid.

The opposite of excellence is to carry the weight of poor choices and lack of hope with you for a lifetime. You can imagine how poor choices compound over time.

Like the theme in yesterday’s posts – waiting and doing nothing are the twin siblings for self-destruction.

Go.

Be amazed and be amazing.

You are worthy. You are deserving. And nothing will ever change that.

Our thinking can be no wiser than our experiences

Over Easy Cafe Sanibel
Biked to breakfast yesterday.

 

Biking on Sanibel Island
Biking back to the beach cottage.

 

Richest Man in Babylon
Came highly recommended. Checking it out before gifting it to an 18-year old.

 

Your thinking can be no wiser than your experiences.

Once you have distanced yourself from your childhood vibrancy, you know,  after years of adolescence, young adulthood and possibly even longer, you might be compelled to regain that vibrancy.

It may take you a year or more, but you eventually regain a decent vibrancy.

This feels amazing.

And then life strikes again.

And like a bad dream, you fall off the horse and never get back on.

i hope i’m wrong.

Commitment to move forward?

trip packing
In addition to the two layers i’m wearing on the plane tomorrow, there are five more in this photo. Nothing is heavier than a thin layer.

 

Commitment to move forward?

Do you have it?

Then show us.
