Again with the you don’t need to worry about it

Apple fascinates people like few other businesses can

 

Spent yesterday in class with 30 extraordinarily bright business people learning why being insanely intentional about the operational details of a business is key to outperforming the competition.

And then during a break, in the midst of a casual hallway conversation, “But you don’t need to worry about your weight”.

Knowing full well it would fall on deaf ears, said it anyway, “I worry about my weight every single day, and am insanely intentional about the details, that’s why it looks like there’s no need to worry”.

Sigh.

And then smile.

She said she doesn’t have a weight scale in her house

Belle and Lumiere at intimate Disney character greeting
What responsibility do we have to be honest with our friends? With ourselves?

 

She said she doesn’t have a weight scale in her house. A moment before she said someone had made her day by asking if she was losing weight. She said she has been trying for so long (years?), and was thrilled someone had noticed.

She also said when she goes to the doctor she closes her eyes when stepping on the scale.

So you weigh yourself like once or twice a year?

How can we improve what we do not measure?

What’s holding us back from doing this one simple thing (twice) every morning?

This is a fear even greater than the fear of death

 

What’s holding us back from doing this one simple thing (twice) every morning? I weigh myself twice every morning. The second time is to confirm the first number. If they match, I’m done. If they do not, I weigh a third time.

Why? Because it teaches us (me) what each pound feels like. Over time the practice, repetition, and the focus teaches nuance and self-awareness.

I can feel a two-pound difference in either direction. Insane? No.

If you have ever experienced this level of daily awareness, you know it’s absolutely not insane.

Note: Currently 10 pounds over fighting weight. Have been for a year.

Sometimes jeff noel thinks Mid Life Celebration readers think he has uncompromising self-discipline. Hardly. We all have the same basic gifts: a brain, a body, a spirit, bills, and stuff.

jeff noel proposes that we think, we move, we feel, we earn, we organize. How we do it doesn’t matter. What matters is are we effective? If we aren’t, we have two choices – change or don’t change.
