Sunday Story…Fitness
The answer is unabashedly simple…your physical
fitness is just one pillar in our quest for a longer “health span”. Peter Attia
in “Outlive” talks about mental health at the end of the book. He readily
admits his life, outside of his physical prowess, was a disaster. Hopefully, yours and mine aren’t so bad that we require outside intervention.
When we look at our physical fitness, we know we must
show up consistently. We need to put in a good solid effort every time, moving
with intention. We need to keep track of our progress and look for ways to
improve it.
The same things apply in the other areas of our lives.
Are you mindful and intentional with your personal relationships? This is often
the place where we take the people around us for granted. How’s your sleep
hygiene? What have you done to get that
right? What about your nutrition? I know it’s hard to resist certain things and
it’s easy to mindlessly stuff your food in your mouth, but even fast food can
be eaten mindfully and intentionally.
You have heard it said before regarding fitness…slow
is smooth and smooth is fast. Well, here’s another one for some of those other
areas in your life…slow is mindful, mindful is healthy.
Slow down, spend more time on the things that really
matter, and enjoy all the gifts life has bestowed upon you.
