Who wants to?

Nursing Home room — The emotions and thoughts from sitting here run from joy to sadness, from gratitude to confusion.

Did i want to run in 36 degree weather yesterday?

Could i have spent those 90 minutes in a more comfortable situation?

Who wants to watch TV all day, everyday?

Being around people 20 to 40 years older than you – if you pay close attention and aren’t medicated, distracted, or entertained – you become keenly aware that vibrant health is something to fight like hell for.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Don’t read the fine print, write it

Orlando Motivational Keynote Speakers — Reading the fine print?

The only way to make a New Year’s resolution stick for the rest of our lives is to make “the rest of our lives” part of our contract.

Conventional cliches revolve around “make sure you read the fine print”.

Try this on for size:

Make sure you write the fine print.

You, yes you. Write your contract with yourself. Add the fine print. You know, the clause that says, “I must do this or everything is null and void.”

Will i have the guts to use this example?

Winter Garden Theater at night — Last night on the way home.

Will i have the guts to use this example?

Talking to a room full of health care leaders, will they be able to see past the example to allow the point to sink in?

When it comes to health and wellness there are seven areas for world-class results:

Cardio
Strength
Nutrition
Rest
Core
Flexibility
Motivation

i will challenge them to discern which of the seven is most important.

Why?

Because the answer applies to what they do as leaders.

Is compromise better than no deal?

Is compromise better than no deal?

Depends what your goal is. It also depends on your brand. Depends on the situation. This post is about exercising while traveling Internationally to cold climates.

An hour-long five-miler, 46 degrees, 7am, windchill at places. Will take 12-minute miles over no run. Will take five miles (normally nothing less than eight) over none.
