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.

Sadly, it would be okay because not trying is an acceptable, perverted pervasive society standard.

What makes it so hard to believe that health requires constant effort and effort requires commitment

 

The health habits we spend our lives creating ultimately can pay dividends we never knew we would need later in life. Say for example, you are in your 70’s or 80’s and you fall, have surgery, and are then instructed to go through extensive physical rehab or you will never walk again.

And if you can not walk at that age, the decline to needing 24 hour nursing care is immediate.

What are our odds of doing the challenging work after surgery if we were unwilling to do it while we were healthy?
