Writing helps me exercise, rest, and refuel

The paperwork of life
This photo is a reminder of how tax return paperwork threw this week out of balance.

 

Had to put several important things on the back burner yesterday in order to invest the three hours required to follow my doctor’s orders of regular exercise.

Had i skipped yesterday, the week would have netted only one exercise day.

Three days – Monday, Wednesday, Friday – at three hours each is the current routine.

An object in motion tends to stay in motion.

Writing every morning helps me process that fact.

Dear writing

Dear writing,

Writing about physical health, wellness, balance, exercise, running, nutrition, core, cardio, strength, flexibility, rest, and motivation is one of the most consistently invigorating experiences i’ve had in all my 57 years.

Thank you for being there every morning.

Seven days to cake and ice cream

Note on selling Disney
Had to write it down or it would evaporate, never to be remembered.

 

Seven days (counting today, June 2) to cake and ice cream.

The glorious thing i discovered from years and years of prolifically writing is the freedom and growth that are only possible when you reach this level.

What i mean by that is i never write to gain or grow a following.

i write simply for the strength and clarity it provides.

Like food nourishes, or water hydrates – both are critical.

But what is critical to our attitude?

Thinking.

Writing prolifically and unashamedly unleashes thinking.

i will begin my birthday day (in seven days) by spending the first two hours writing.

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.

Who do you want to change?

Who do you want to change, and how do you want to change them?

You know those organizations that are aiming to be the best in their category? i prefer not to work with them but rather to work with organizations that want to become the category.

But there’s just not enough time today

Didn’t have time to run yesterday. Probably not going to get to do it this morning either. If it weren’t for the determination to write five daily, differently-themed blogs, the odds of running would be exponentially greater today.

And so it goes…
