Try Not To Complain

Last Week In Houston At A Red Light
Last Week In Houston At A Red Light

What good does complaining do? Does it make the complainer shine like a beacon of hope for others? Does it inspire people to give their absolute best?

You know, sometimes it might. Complaints can put things in the spotlight that may otherwise get swept under the rug. But it’s rare that complaining has a positive outcome.

Mostly, it just sounds like an excuse and a defense mechanism to shroud our fear of success.

Haven’t run in 7 days. Haven’t been to the gym in six. Pathetic.

Except for one thing. I get the opportunity to do them both. Today. How glorious is that? The woman in the photo perhaps can only dream of missing a week of exercise.

Say It With Me

If You Can Remember Well, Count Your Blessings
If You Can Remember Well, Count Your Blessings

Mantra’s can be very helpful. We all need to be reminded to stay focused (in the midst of endless temptation), and count our blessings (when it often seems like there are none).

How?

Mantras are very effective. Say it with me:

“I feel happy, I feel healthy, I feel alive!”

It’s quite common for business travelers (and anyone, doing anything, for that matter) to feel the drain that comes with the territory.

Waking up this morning, the final day of a four-day trip, found myself repeating this mantra over and over. It worked.

How has your health been the past few days?

How often does it cross your mind?

Never? Rarely? One a year? Occasionally?

All day, everyday?

What if it did?

And what if it was so habitual, you weren’t even conscious of all the healthy choices you make?

Figure It Out, Right?

Exercise or Donut?
Exercise or Donut?

Time marches on. There’s no denying it. This can be exciting, or it can be debilitating. How we choose to accept it really is the key.

Very few people get to exercise and eat the way they know is optimal. Why? Because time marches on. So, the questions then narrow down to two:

  1. Give up, because it’s too difficult
  2. Keep going, because we are setting the example

Sometimes, not being able to exercise, even though you want to, is a gift. You just have to know the difference.
