Accountability

All of us are accountable to someone. When we were children it was our parents. When we got jobs we were accountable to our boss. There is no such thing as a “self-made man.” We had guidance along the way.

We are accountable to ourselves, too. If we eat crap it will show in our physical appearance. Don’t exercise? Prepare to be stiff and overweight. We must take ownership of the personal decisions we have made and continue to make.

I encourage you to take care of yourself, mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Your life will have less chaos and deeper fulfillment…

Activity

Our culture has become addicted to their screens. We constantly have our heads buried in a phone or a laptop. I’m not just talking about adults, either. Kids are doing it, too.

Our minds and bodies aren’t meant to be totally absorbed in information. We need interactions with other people, and we need physical activity.

Technology is a necessary component of our lives. Yet it should not dominate our time. I encourage you to get outside, enjoy some sunshine every day and get physically active. Pay attention to how different you feel afterwards. Try it for 21 days and let me know what happens…

Ageless

In Austin, Texas, it seems like there is a plastic surgeon’s office on every street corner. People are spending tremendous amounts of money trying to stave off the aging process.

If you truly want to age in reverse, get some exercise 4-5 times per week. Mix it up so it stays interesting. Push yourself, but do not over exert your body. Lift weights and do Pilates. Take a “before” picture and then take another in three months. You will notice a considerable difference…

New Year. New Goals.

As 2022 approaches, we like to set “New Year’s Resolutions.” Instead of making multiple resolutions, make one. Only one. Commit to seeing it through. All of us can do one thing differently. After three months, set another resolution because by then you will have mastered the first one. Continue this throughout the year. Your life will change as your confidence soars.

Exercise…

Intense physical exercise has many benefits: it improves your mood, boosts your energy level, it strengthens your heart muscle, it even helps with your sleep. But remember to exercise your most important body part-your brain. Read good books, engage in stimulating conversations, and be judicious about what you watch…

Good Health…

Good health is within your reach if you really want it. Get plenty of rest, eat good, natural foods, exercise for an hour every day, read good books and articles, and take time to connect with other people. You will live longer and feel better. The choice is ours…

Newness…

When we go on vacation, everything we experience is new to us. The neurons in our brain go crazy, creating new neural pathways where our feelings are forever stored. This is healthy exercise for our minds. I encourage you to try to experience something new every day, even if it’s changing the way you drive to work. You will feel the difference…

What Matters Most…

Are you trying to be the busiest person around? After all, our culture believes that high activity is the honorable way. Do not fall into the trap of being too busy for the important things: family, friends and your health.

Age…

I see where people talk about “getting old” in an unhealthy way. We cannot stop the physical aging process, but we can keep our minds and attitudes young and thriving. Be lifelong learners. Read, experience beautiful art and music, or take up writing. Exercise.

Age is only in our head and heart…
