Time poor, body

Arnold Palmer quote
Wonder if Arnie was referring to staying active for a lifetime. Or overcoming tragedy.
Alzheimers disease statistics
Tragic news for humans. Perhaps also tragic is in less time than every 68 seconds after most high schooler’s graduate they decide to never again exercise.
Buddism quote
We can control many things. Heck yes it’s challenging and feels impossible sometimes. And we also know we will never be able to control many things.

Am i time poor? And, does it even matter?

Time poor is when you are so busy, you cannot afford to waste any time.

You are living without any discretionary time.

No extra time to do something that isn’t required.

Moving well isn’t required to live a life.

Fueling well isn’t required to live a life.

Resting well isn’t required to live a life.

Motivating yourself well isn’t required to live a life.

Physical vibrancy is a time, effort, and resources investment.

Decades ago i committed to never being too busy to get and stay physically vibrant.

Note: My other commitment is to maintain this commitment should an unthinkable event happen. Time will tell.

Letting go of posturing, body

quote about tomorrow
LinkedIn offered unexpected insights now and then..
Gene Wilder quote
Screen shot from LinkedIn years ago.

Is it possible to finally, for good, let go of habitual, societal posturing?

Of all the posturing i’ve done in my lifetime, physical health has been the most avoided.

Why?

Good question.

Probably because physical wellness is one of life’s most elusive goals.

Pursuing physical wellness always made perfect sense to me.

A roller coaster with fit and unfit until age 40.

Since then, only fit.

By the way, my blogging will never count as posturing because no one knows i do it. To me, writing here at Lane8.org is a diary of me coaching me.

The trap to be busy, body

quote about living well
Start simple. Dream big. Be well. Vibrancy can be architected by systems and processes you control.

Being busy is not the same as living fully.

Being busy kills my ability to move well.

Being busy poisons my ability to rest well.

Being busy kills my ability to fuel (eat) well.

Being busy stifles my ability to find a million fun ways to stay motivated.

Being busy kills my ability to be an example rather than a warning.

Paperwork playoffs, body

Sanibel Island
Home away from home. And office away from office. Being able to work from anywhere is good. Photo: Sanibel Island, 2018. Not much paperwork at the beach. Overwhelmingly digital.

Have spent four decades of collecting and subsequent saving and storing three three-drawer file cabinets full of Disney paperwork.

A lifetime of hope-filled effort.

The consistent and thoughtful Disney paper-collecting is synonymous with a lifetime of regular exercise, adequate rest, and proper nutrition.

Serious, intentional, focused long-term effort creates unique genre assets.

In this case, world-class business correspondence, and, excellent physical vibrancy results.

The world-class Disney paper assets are under final scrutiny now, since commencing about 10 days ago.

Nearly two weeks of ‘final’ purging.

i’m calling it the playoffs.

For the past 10-ish days, have been working through metaphorical quarterfinals, semifinals, and now, today after i write today’s posts, start the finals.

Purge like you mean it, body

Purge: To rid, clear, or free.

Physically.

Going through a lifetime of Disney paperwork, still.

Have done it many times in my life.

So far on this major paperwork cleansing, not coming across workout paperwork.

Why?

Went digital years ago.

And on previous purges, recycled a lifetime of paper workout logs.

Note: The realization that all the paper logs are gone and i do not need nor miss them…progress indeed.
