Wish it didn’t look so easy

work life balance expert

America’s work life balance expert makes it look easy, kinda magical, effortless

 

I’m constantly fighting the battle with health, particularly my weight and cholesterol.

Some months are easier to maintain wellness. While other times (of every year) require everything I can muster – to not quit.

Just wish what I do didn’t look so easy and natural to the folks observing from afar.

What does the Dalai Lama do for exercise?

exercise time

who’s got time to exercise? we have to fight for that time…or it will not happen

What does the Dalai Lama do for exercise? Kinda fun to wonder what His Holiness does for exercise. Really doesn’t matter though, does it? Know what matters?

What matters to me is how will I keep exercising? How will I keep it interesting enough to never get bored enough to quit. For a lifetime.

PS. And you know what else? What really matters is how you answer these same questions. For real.

What to do when you’ve not exercised in years and years…

take the stairs

take the stairs is a popular gimmick...it never produces long term results (know why?)

This is one of the most basic rules of engagement when a person begins an exercise pledge and routine. Go slow. Really slow. Sissy slow. You’ve got nothing to prove to anyone else.

PS. I’m not kidding.
