Twas the night before December (yes December, not Christmas)

What if Santa’s sleigh had a message like this on the back? Some folks feel the same way about touching their wellness.

Twas the night before December (yes December, not Christmas). And all I’m wondering, is how well your wellness habits are doing.

Insight: When we make health a daily habit, it doesn’t matter what time of year you ask. Our answer is always this, “It’s going well”.

Christmas is just 25 days away… or is everyday Christmas? That’s the point. Your wellness is not determined by your annual checkup. It’s determined by the way you approach each day. All 365 of them.

I see how my (health) success as a Boomer is directly related to my steady, committed practice, just like those young drummer boys.

How do you break hard to break health habits? First rule, don’t look for a cookie cutter solution. This is a myth. Look at all the diets that have ever been created. None of them have sustainability. None.

Insight: You want easy answers to life’s biggest challenges? Get real with yourself. And get rid of habitual codependence with excuses.

Frequent Travel Is A Great Excuse To Not Exercise

Frequent Travel Is A Great Excuse To Not Exercise

Our habits control us or they set us free. Which do you think happens more often?

Most people don’t think long and hard about this battle.

But for me, it’s my job. A gift, so to speak.

One Of The Benefits

September 20, 2010 by 4 Comments

One of the benefits to exercising regularly, and consistently eating a sensible, well-balanced diet, is that the focus and discipline required, as well as the tenacity to never give up, is transferable.

Transferable?

Yes. These traits can be nurtured into habits, and habits, ultimately, make us who we are.

But you already knew that, right?

Never get bored with the basics. Never.
