Favorite Motivation Tip

Here’s my personal favorite tip to stay motivated:

Find a million ways.

Who’s going to be more passionate and concerned for your motivation than you?

Seriously. Who?

Studying others who’ve overcome obstacles is just one way. It’s one of my favorite ways. Steve Prefontaine, a rebel, also happened to be a runner.

And in the process, with his relentless courage and determination, he changed the way Americans thought, and continue to think, about running. He held every American running record from 2,000 – 10,000 meters.

In his greatest race at the 1972 Munich Olympics, he finished fourth. No medal. No glory. No hero’s welcome.

But yet, he’s the only athlete Nike has ever immortalized in a bronze statue. Ever. Any sport. Period.

Enough About Tiger Already

The man is human. Enough about Tiger Woods already. Can we move on?

Are you ready?

I mean, for the New Year?

Okay, are you ready for December? It starts tomorrow.

This gives everyone who needs it, 31 more days until the New Year starts. A new year, a new beginning.

Seriously, if you are not going to focus on your health this coming year, there is only one simple question.

“Why not?”

Sorry if this sounds pushy. It’s the way I’ve learned to talk to myself. Once I accepted the truth that it ain’t ever gonna be easy, and that I’ll have to talk like this until I die, well, it started to get easier.

PS. Here’s a surprise. Who doesn’t like surprises? Driving home yesterday from a meeting, my son and I were surprised at the new road-side circus.

Exercise Fitness Wellness

Exercise. Fitness. Wellness. Flexibility. Strength. Cardiovascular.

Blood pressure. Resting heart rate. Good cholesterol. Bad cholesterol. Body Mass Index. Triglycerides.

Those words should mean something. So should these.

Determination. Perseverance. Tenacity. Hope. Dreams. Persistence. Motivation. Inspiration. Courage.

Focus. Discipline. Results. Good habits. Bad habits. Dreams. Goals. Success.

If not today, when? It’s up to you. Always has been. Always will be. Carpe diem.

Yes, staying with a healthy routine is hard. It’s difficult. Don’t let anyone try to tell you otherwise.

I mean, even if you are highly motivated, eventually, you will find it easier to not keep your routine.

Look at professional athletes, or even Olympic Gold Medalists. Are they the picture of health and wellness ten years later?

Hey, thanks for visiting, gotta go for now. Exercise is calling my name. It would be much easier to ignore the call, but ultimately, life is hard. Do it. Now! Carpe diem.

Amazing Grace At The Gym?

Whether or not you go to a gym is inconsequential. It doesn’t matter.

Why?

Because who cares where you exercise? Really. Who cares? No one. Maybe you care, but in reality, no one cares.

So what’s the point then?

Simply this – if you have the capability to exercise and don’t, aren’t you forfeiting one of the most amazing graces ever bestowed on you?
