Here we go again

Here we go again.

What?

New Year’s Facebook posts.

Shoulda, woulda, coulda.

Working on week 11 of “i-quit-sugar”.

New Year’s Day (yesterday) is nothing more than a light-switch-effect moment for humans who haven’t figured out the key to personal transformation.

People think come January 1, they will magically have what it takes to begin a new habit.

i know this because of a lifetime of personal experience.

There ain’t no light-switch-effect you get to summon.

Here’s a hint (because i’ve recently revealed the #1 ingredient), motivation is #2.

Update (today, March 2): “i quit sugar” is now 19 weeks strong. Why? Guessing because it’s really important to me.

Why struggle with exercise motivation?

Disney Institute Keynote Speaker
You can (and should) get and stay healthy.

Why struggle with exercise motivation?

To alleviate (not eliminate) future health issues.

And to minimize effects from occasional illnesses.

And, to reduce recovery time from illness or injury.

Humans are like water

pizza delivery failure
Last night we took the easy way out for dinner. Ordered Pizza Hut Cheese pizza. i always open the box while the delivery person is still holding it. i didn’t answer the door last night. We let it go and i ate the “imperfect slices”. We did not call Pizza Hut.

 

Self-motivation is critical to master because humans are like water – we seek the easiest route forward.

This morning’s 5:15am run in 39-degree weather had me highly motivated 30 minutes ago.

Highly motivated to avoid the 39-degree cold weather (by Orlando standards) and come up with a perfectly reasonable excuse rationale for skipping today’s run.

Why not become this person

inspiration
This makes healthy living easier.

 

If getting great results was easy, no one would be concerned about their health.

Motivation (inspiration) is like a fire.

It needs continuous fuel.

Probably a trick question

#LoveWhatYouDo

Do you?

No, not talking about your job.

Talking about your wellness habits.

Odds are you don’t #LoveWhatYouDo to get and stay well.

i don’t about 50% of the time.

This is why you must be creative enough to keep moving forward when you find too many times that you are bored, unmotivated, too busy, etc.
