The privilege of making mistakes, body

Is it a human privilege to make mistakes?

i think it is.

The privilege of making mistakes is only for people who act.

Why?

Intentional action leads to outcomes.

Outcomes lead to learning.

Learning leads to growth.

Growth is the essence of life.

Like a broken record, and as simple as i can humanly make it:

Move well
Fuel well
Rest well
Motivate yourself well

This won’t save you from unexpected tragedy, but it will save you from neglect’s impact.

Healthy accidents

Bicycling in Glacier National Park before Sun Road opens to vehicular traffic. This is a 16-mile (Avalanche Creek to Logan Pass) continuous elevation gain from 3,200′ to 6,643′. Accidentally discovered you can rent bicycles and if physically capable, you can peddle all the way to the Continental Divide, without fear of vehicles.

Unhealthy accidents (mistakes) can set you back.

Many unhealthy accidents stem from neglect.

Some unhealthy accidents then require a lifetime of full-time care. Care that would not be required if neglect (mistake/accident) wasn’t a thing for you.

Some unhealthy accidents (mistakes) are temporary. Learn from them.

Flip it around.

Many healthy ‘accidents’ stem from intentionality, focus, and discipline.

Some healthy accidents deliver a lifetime of physical vibrancy.

Some healthy accidents (mistakes) are temporary. Learn from them.

In 2020, after spending 50 consecutive days hiking in Glacier National Park (GNP), discovered you can become vibrantly well simply by walking a lot. And consistently walking above 6,000′ delivers more than physical vibrancy.

Note: In 2020 the original goal was to visit GNP for two weeks and come home by Labor Day. ‘Accidentally’ turned into a seven-week trip.

Final note: ‘Accidentally’ discovered after the fact i never again want to be away from family that long.

Rob Peter to pay Paul?

Dancer — Atlanta airport, yesterday at 530am. Move (and eat) like it matters.

Rob Peter to pay Paul?

Does regular exercise feel like a free pass to eat whatever you want?

Does sleep take a back seat to exercise because it’s easy to rationalize that we are doing well since we regularly exercise more than most people we know?

Is it exercise or extra fries?

Note: lowest weight this morning since i can’t remember when. Competition weight is a unique feeling. Not too far from it.

If experience comes from making mistakes, wisdom comes from this…

If experience comes from making mistakes, wisdom comes from this… experience.

Our bodies atrophy without use.

Don’t tell our bodies, but doing something repetitively for a long time tricks it into thinking it’s normal.

After 12 off days, went right back at it like it had only been two.
