The physical architectural framework for vibrancy, Disney Style

Disney wellness speaker jeff noel
Yesterday logged 4 miles and 40 minutes as warmup.

 

The physical architectural framework for vibrancy has seven major elements. The most important isn’t even physical.

More important than the other six (strength, endurance, core, flexibility, nutrition, rest) is motivation.

Having a purpose bigger than yourself.

Because when you do, years of effort are joyfully (mostly) spent while others quit or do the on-again-off-again yo-yo thing.

Week three of track training starts off with a bang.

The 800 and 400 interval times have dramatically come down.

What do we invest in that won’t bear fruit for 15 years?

Dear Son, it’s evident you’ve begun your revelation into understanding the importance of a healthy body. Your motives for exercising will ebb and flow over time. Eventually your motive will simply be to remain healthy and active.

And you will get to this place when you fully understand that being as healthy as you can be is directly linked to personal integrity, gratitude, and happiness.

We’re all owners

We’re all owners.

Like the cow above, sticking it’s neck out through the barbed wire fence, are we hungry for our own life?

Do we settle for status quo or is vibrancy our only acceptable standard?

Can “bad” habits be changed without even trying?

“I can’t”.

What’s the most common excuse we tell ourselves and hear others say?

By chance, circumstances from a recent 10-day trip dramatically reduced the coffee and soda consumption.

With the help of a few doses of ibuprofen for headaches, have cleared the hurdles. Coffee and soda free is so amazingly liberating.

Have been drinking one to two gallons of water a day for a decade or longer. On top of coffee and a diet coke. Thank goodness for indoor plumbing.

Be well.

It’s your responsibility.

Knowing this is not enough.

Outsiders would say no

We shouldn’t be surprised at the eventual outcome of our wellness efforts. Are our most important health issues to solve the long-term ones?

Outsiders would say no.

Why?

Because America’s societal trends thrive on short-term, desperate commitment to change.

It’s the American way.

The urgency addiction.

Shared with a 14-year old last night why fussing over our physical wellness is so critical.

An object in motion tends to stay in motion. It doesn’t get more obvious than that.

Doubtful?

Spend a few days in a Senior Living facility or Nursing home.
