He (the high school freshman) said it was the first time he felt stronger. He is taking personal fitness as a required course. It was an important revelation for him.

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.

Is this us, and if it is, why?

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.

Heart to heart talk with your number one supporter

Bicycle rifding to school near Disney World
Yesterday. In a groove.

 

What starts out as us finding our groove in life can become a rut so deep, we cannot climb out.

Having a heart to heart talk with your number one supporter (you) means you have to get tough with yourself.

You have to get real.

Have to.

No one can make you except you.

There is no other way. No short cut.

The only thing standing in our way is the bull crap excuses we keep telling ourselves.

Simplicity is the only way.

As long as we attempt too much, we will never have balance and we will never be healthy.

Having too much overwhelms us.

Being overwhelmed is deadly. It is also chronic.

Fix it.

Even if it takes years.

The time will pass anyway.

Make it count.
