Each day contains a simple choice in the morning

Each day contains a simple choice in the morning.

Exercise or don’t exercise.

In the early years when we resolve to become active, it’s far too easy to revert back to our inactive selves.

Let’s assume we successfully push through that stage.

In later years however, after we’ve conquered inertia and made commitment a habit, it’s easier to take our long-term efforts for granted.

A slippery slope.

The long way is the short cut.

Become an example instead of a warning.

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.

 

Early is on time and yields decent benefits

Disney's Grand Floridian Resort Lobby
i remember when a Front Desk Cast Member had the idea to experiment with this concept; a children’s only waiting area with themed seating and Disney movies playing.

 

Disney's Grand Floridian Resort Lobby
Give anxious children a place to be delightfully distracted until the adults check in and get the room keys. Original area is next to Front Desk (in background).

It was so successful, a second child area was created.

Here you can see them both.

 

To arrive on time (10 minutes early is the standard) for a 7am meeting, i cancelled my morning exercise. It happens.

Arriving 15 minutes early allowed me to talk to a friend and Cast Member (with 41 years at Walt Disney World). Shafe (that’s his real name) and i worked together at three Disney Resort properties: Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts, and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa.

The break from exercise was also welcomed because of an exceptionally long day of gardening the day before.

He’s rather run on Saturday nights

He’d rather run on Saturday nights.

Works for me.

Should i exercise or not?

Should i exercise or not?

What is gained if i do?

What is lost if i don’t?

Wow, those are two powerful questions. You’d think the two answers would change everything.

#Vibrancy

#Vibrancy

The distinct outcome in the difference between the habits we nurture or don’t nurture – the contrast between surviving the daily grind or thriving in spite of it.
