Freedom – Disney Employee Engagement Speaker

Busy is not sexy, body

Disney screen shot — New routines. What will be lost? What will be gained?

Running quote — 2026…Been trying to run pain-free again since 2018+-

Children huddles around a Macbook — Remember how we used to run everywhere – walking was too slow?

Run Disney — 2015…Began the morning in pain, but was able to run a 10-miler. Note: Literally negative splits for eight miles.

Why is being busy not sexy?

Why?

Wait, you haven’t figured this out yet?

Saying you’re too busy to focus on your health?

Too busy indeed.

Letting go of posturing, body

quote about tomorrow — LinkedIn offered unexpected insights now and then..

Gene Wilder quote — Screen shot from LinkedIn years ago.

Is it possible to finally, for good, let go of habitual, societal posturing?

Of all the posturing i’ve done in my lifetime, physical health has been the most avoided.

Why?

Good question.

Probably because physical wellness is one of life’s most elusive goals.

Pursuing physical wellness always made perfect sense to me.

A roller coaster with fit and unfit until age 40.

Since then, only fit.

By the way, my blogging will never count as posturing because no one knows i do it. To me, writing here at Lane8.org is a diary of me coaching me.

Physical freedom is 2 things

Physical freedom is 2 things:

Becoming and staying an example.
Behaving like you’re training for the Olympics.

Planned freedom, body

mountains and lake — Swiftcurrent Vally. Looking East in this photo, The Great Plains are just over the mountain horizon. This photo location is literally on the Continental Divide.

Planned freedom is a concept anyone can take in any direction.

To me, planned freedom is investing in getting healthy and staying healthy. For a lifetime.

You’ll know physical freedom from your strength, stamina, flexibility, core, nutrition, rest, and motivation.

Note: The freedom you know, and experience, is proportional to the freedom you planned for.

What physical pain

thermometer — Day four with a fever. Thought it would be over in 24-72 hours.

home covid test — Because we had an extra (free) Covid test, why not test? Negative.

medical referral sheet — Went to the Walk-In side of my primary care physician at Windermere Medical Center. The receptionist told me i am no longer a patient there. She did offer a $167 office visit plus retail costs for any tests. Never thought of patients as commodities until now.

urgent care building — Took the closet referral from the photo above.

urgent care menu of services — One of my biggest clients is part of HCA. If you zoom in on the third line from the top, you see HCA. Had never heard of HCA until they bought my client’s Nursing College a couple years ago.

family holding a koala — This was supposed to be a Christmas present the day before. But i received it while bedridden on December 26. Had made a Disney’s Animal Kingdom reservation for Dec 26, optimistic my “cold” would be done.

What physical pain do you want in your life?

i’ll gladly take the pain of continuously doing the reps to have a body that thrives on moving, nutrition, and rest. Carving out time. Making sound choices versus easy ones with food and sleep.

What pain do you want to avoid?

i want to avoid the pain that stems from a lack of consistent effort to do the reps. The slothful, sedentary lifestyle habits that no one says enhances your present and longterm physical vibrancy.
