Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
“Be willing to be uncomfortable. Be comfortable being uncomfortable. It may get tough.” — 2006 Fortune Cookie
A Lane 8 reader commented recently that part of her motivation, as she was training for a Marathon, came from a fortune cookie saying.
Had to read it several times.
Each time, it got better. Each time it had more power. Each time it made indomitable will seem more like an antidote than a pain.
Be willing to be uncomfortable.
Be comfortable being uncomfortable.
Hello everyone. Hope you had a healthy week. It’s challenging isn’t it?
Diet and exercise. Sounds so simple.
Then why are we an obese society? An unhealthy society? Why?
Can someone help explain why this is so, and even more compelling, why we as a society, just put our heads in the sand and pretend like it doesn’t exist? Why we pretend like it’ll go away if we ignore it long enough?
It’s a grand wish that our son (9) will get and stay healthy as a lifetime goal. With Inflammatory Bowel Disease, he’s 20 times more likely to develop colon cancer than the average person.
Last time I looked, colon cancer is bad news.
Lane 8 is a metaphor for life. For trying your best to do important things – like lead a healthy life.
And it started over a decade ago, with me running one mailbox a day for a week.
As my health improved, my desire to maintain it became harder to find.
Lane 8 is where the slowest competitor is placed. In swimming. In running.
You never saw Michael Phelps (world’s fastest swimmer) in Lane 8. You never saw Usain Bolt (world’s fastest runner) in Lane 8.
And yet Lane 8 is my goal.
This week, like most of you, there was a serious struggle to find the right balance of physical activity and healthy nutrition. Diet and exercise.
Here’s one of my little secrets. Are you interested in it?
Dream Big. Get There. Stay There.
Come up with a mantra, a saying, that will keep you focused on one simple goal.
To not give up, no matter the set backs. Ever!
Can’t explain how my brain works, all I can tell you is that it is constantly turning, churning and burning. So, this morning, like every morning after the initial routine is done, the process of writing five daily blogs begins.
Lane 8 is third in the order in which I write the five daily blogs. Stay with me, there’s a point to this.
Arriving at the WordPress Blog admin page, I create “a blank sheet of paper“. Then I pause, think about what to write and get started. Usually, something from the day before, or something from today’s agenda, is where the inspiration comes from.
Today is a bit more unusual. Click here to see what inspired today’s post. Make it a GREAT day. It’s completely up to you, isn’t it?
