Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
“If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough”. – jeff noel
Good luck today with your health goals. Set ’em high. Carpe diem.
Not as in running, jogging, sprinting. On the run as in a hurry.
Spent four days in Anchorage, Alaska and did not exercise. Not by choice.
Got back late last night early this morning. There is no exercising this morning either. Five straight days without exercise. I feel the pain of everyone who struggles to make physical wellness a priority.
There is no easy way.
Well, actually, there is an easy way – simply don’t worry about it until the phone rings, “Excuse me, it’s for you. It’s your wake up call”.
Wellness Challenge? Today. Tomorrow. Next week. Next month. Next year.
Huh? Exactly. I need to remind myself of this every single day.
Wellness – physical well being – is not something that I can take lightly. Most people understand this. And yet, the pressures of our lives can make it so challenging to be well, that we succumb to the pressure.
What happens next? We all know the answer to this, don’t we?
So, knowing the answer, what are we going to do about it? What am I gonna do about it? What are you going to do about it? Today, I mean. Seriously.
What will your wellness challenge be today? Carpe diem.
“Genius is nothing but a greater aptitude for patience”. — Gerorges Louis Leclerc de Buffon
Isn’t it amazing how impatient we can be? It certainly is to me. Whenever I start to think patience has been mastered, another unexpected test comes along. One that tests my patience in new ways.
And these tests come out of nowhere. And many times, from extremely innocent surroundings, when we least expect it.
“You can not teach patience with impatience”. — jeff noel
You will never succeed at overcoming your wellness challenges if you are impatient. This is one of the fundamental laws of self improvement. One of the hardest lessons I’ve ever had to learn.
Lane 8 is back on 200mg Celebrex once a day. I know. Who cares?
In less than 24 hours, the left heel pain has subsided. When you’re an active mid life adult and stand ( professional speaker ) for a living, foot pain is a huge dissatisfier.
Florida Foot and Ankle Specialists are one of my heroes. I feel compelled to recommend Dr Curtis Wagner and his excellent staff.
In fact, during the visit yesterday, these words came out of my mouth, “It’s amazing, given the recent pain, that we were able to send me to the World Championships”.
Saying “we” just flowed naturally from my mouth. While it’s true that I invested all the sweat equity, Dr Wagner provided the “medical advice/coaching” and the protocol to make competing on the world stage possible.
Here’s to our health. Make your day GREAT! If not today, when? Carpe diem!
