Is this us, and if it is, why?

Resting at Disneyland
Rest when necessary, but don’t make rest your default activity.

 

Personal responsibility includes making our physical health a priority. If we do not make our physical health a priority, we are not being personally responsible.

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.

The cross i bear from a lifetime at Disney…

Lane 8 on College Track
Lane 8 is a metaphor for life. To become the slowest of the fastest.

 

The cross i bear from a lifetime at Disney is that i thoroughly understand how to articulate a clear, concise, and compelling personal (or corporate) health vision, but struggle with sounding like a radical, over-zealous know-it-all.

And not only do i understand the recipe, i have used it successfully so many times, it literally makes me ill that others make excuses for not following it.

Who wants to?

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.

By the time this goes live most of us will have quit (again)

Sheldon kisses Amy Big Bang
No one thought this would ever happen either. It happened Dec. 10 2015.

 

By the time this goes live most of us will have quit (again).

For that matter, many of us have stopped making New Year’s resolutions altogether because of our consistent failure to see things through.

Here’s to hoping i’m dead wrong.

Squeezing in a fourth teeth cleaning this morning

After dentist, down the hall for eye measurements, then a meeting with a potential client.

 

Squeezing in a fourth teeth cleaning this morning.

Typical healthcare insurance pays for two cleanings per year. For years, i’ve paid out of pocket for a third.

Decided two days ago, with only 12 days until Christmas, to make 2015 the first year with two out of pocket cleanings (four total).

Why?

Why not may be an even better question. Teeth are such a huge asset. If we took better care of them, would they last longer?

Physical health expands beyond diet, exercise, and rest.
