Focused presence is a super power

Howe Ridge fire 2018
GNP. Flashback 2017. Howe Ridge fire began August 11, 2017 from a lightning strike, directly across Lake McDonald and our VRBO Cabin.

We can always find something crazy to do in order for us to avoid doing what we know we should be doing.

Good morning

One walking partner is in college, the other lives at home. One character is named Rowdy.

Heading out the door at 5:30AM to walk for 30 minutes has so much competition from other easier things to do at 5:30AM, namely sleep, drink coffee, etc.

So why head out the door at 5:30AM?

Think about it this way, if i have to explain, the answer will most likely never be understood by the recipient.

Character traits and behaviors are an asset. Do what you need to do to get and stay healthy – for a lifetime.

Distractions are the devil’s way of saying, “Don’t worry about it today”

The devil often comes disguised as something good or logical.

 

Distractions are the devil’s way of saying, “Don’t worry about it today.”

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Just like that

Glacier Red Bus tours
Yesterday the annual Summer Glacier trip was booked – a great stress reducer.

 

Just like that, the pain has disappeared.

We’ll see if it stays away during this morning’s run.

We are so easily distracted, because distractions are less work

We are so easily distracted, because distractions are less work.

Intentionally running only three days a week. Gym two or three days a week. Weekends reserved for active rest.  Have had eight hours sleep for past eight days.

The walks to Magic Kingdom and Epcot added four-plus miles of casual walking. Getting a 14-year old ready for his middle-school trip to San Francisco. Also very intentional.

Being intentional changes your trajectory.
