Specific or vague, the results are astounding

The more specific our health goals, the more specific our actions will be day after day, week after week, month after month, until we die.

The more general (vague) our goals, the more freedom we have to make excuses and put routine practices on the back burner.

Four for four and 55?

Four for four and 55?

Four consecutive nights getting eight hours sleep. Months, maybe longer since that’s happened.

Why?

Busy.

What happens with the insidiously slow change in our sleep intake?

A lifetime of wellness, led with regular exercise, sensible eating, and adequate rest.

The bottoms of the Delta first class cabin seats seem astonished at the news…and seem to be gasping, “oh no!”

 

We must beg, borrow, even steal sometimes in order to get the time to be active.

Seriously.

Even those that make it look easy must do this.

Why?

Because it is never easy.

It costs time.

Whether you are motivated or not, there is a price to pay.

Time.
