If you believe it, then follow it.

I am sure you have seen that meme/ phrase going around saying, “the goal is to die as young as possible.” A great idea that has a foothold in reality but requires some intentional work.

From what I have seen, this phrase is more rooted in attitude than anything else. If you think and act like you are old… your old.

But if you choose not to go down that road and realize that you have the opportunity to “stay young,” then you also have to follow that up with work. It doesn’t just happen because it gets you excited.

Your body has natural healing processes within it and will continue to keep you young if, wait, “BIG IF”, you know how to take care of it.

Drinking enough water Getting enough sleep
Eating foods that nourish you
Managing your stress
And realizing that exercising is an opportunity to show your body some love and not just randomly moving around.

If you know how to exercise to keep your body balanced, it functions at its best. Functioning means that:

You are flexible and not stiff.
You can play with your kids and grandkids without worrying if you will get hurt or can get back off the ground.
You can stay active in activities, and sports you love can stay in your life.
Your digestive, endocrine(hormones), respiratory, circulatory, and nervous systems work correctly, and you don’t feel like sh*t.
And that you can continue to show up and be there for your friends, family, and community.

You also have a “clast” and “blast” system in your body that removes the bad stuff and brings in the good stuff, which keeps your body young.

This happens if your body is balanced, responsive and the fluids in your body are flowing properly and not stagnating and festering like a dirty pond. Ewe. 🤮

Unfortunately, all of life is taking you away from this state. This includes the sports and activities that you enjoy doing. Everything is slightly damaging to your body and health.

It requires that, if you care at all about longevity, you also have a program of corrective and preventive exercises you can do along with being active in a way that brings you joy.

Doing this allows your body to stay young.

Just staying the course and hoping that some intervention will “fix you” is a passive-destructive way to go about it.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Your Thoughts Are Not Facts

Remember the old TV cop who always said, “Just the facts, ma’am” when investigating crimes?

It’s more than a catchphrase.

It’s a great reminder about what to think about when struggling with feelings, mindset, and ambitions.

Let’s say you feel down because it seems like you’re not making any progress. You think you’re pathetic and you might as well just give up because you’re not getting anywhere.

Now, replace all those bad feelings with simple facts.

Like this one: You’ve lost 10 pounds since you started eating right.

And this one: You now easily jog 2 miles when before you could barely make it around the block.

Get the picture?

This is why it’s important to set goals that are MEASURABLE. And to record your progress regularly. Because it’s so easy to lose sight of that progress and to let your worries take you down a dark – AND FACTUALLY INCORRECT – path.

Think you’re not doing so well?

Sometimes you must forget what you think.

What do you KNOW?

Seasons Change, But Your Goals Shouldn’t

As fall heads toward winter this month, you might find yourself wanting to change your goals with the seasons.

It’s only natural. The days grow shorter. The air has more of a chill. It might even snow where you live. But don’t let the change of seasons change your goals.

That’s a slippery slope at any time of year, regardless of the temperature. Your goals are based on year-round values and desires, not ideas that rise and fall with the thermometer.

Now, this doesn’t mean we can’t change our TACTICS to reach goals.

By that, I mean we can transition to a more corrective or recovery-type program. Or strengthen those areas of the body that were ignored during the spring and summer time.

But the REASONS for adopting the tactics and strategies you’ve chosen? Well, those remain the same. And so should your intentions.

Remember, we reach our healthy living goals not quickly but over time – by making consistent, steady efforts. We’re talking about HOW WE CHOOSE TO LIVE, not just what we will do right now.

Take comfort and inspiration from the changing seasons. They’re powerful, natural, consistent, and lead every year to the next step. So, welcome the winter – and keep your eyes on the prize.

Do you have a plan to keep moving toward your goals as it gets colder?

This is a losing formula….

It’s not your fault you fell into this trap.

👉🏽 You played and did sports as a kid, and it felt great.

👉🏽 Then you had to start “to adult” and now have to sit down much more than you want, but you kept active mainly on the weekends.

👉🏽 Now you have aches and pains, so you seek help to “fix you” and then go right back to what you were doing. 👀

👉🏽 Now those aches and pains have turned into injuries, and you go get a cortisone shot, PRP, a package of physical therapy sessions, or some “minimally invasive” procedures to feel better. And usually, the first couple of times you do it you feel better. And then you go back to what you were doing. 👀

👉🏽 Now the pain is back, and you are “throwing the kitchen sink at it,” but all the above actions you tried are now not getting it done. If you are lucky, you are still functional, but that won’t last long. So you go the surgery route thinking this will fix you. 👀

👉🏽 You get out and feel good, BUT you notice that you can’t move the same and that the life that you were living before must be scaled back. And now it’s permanent and still getting worse. 👹

You’ve been hoodwinked, bamboozled, led astray, run amok, and flat-out deceived, never to learn how to be proactive with your body and your health.

You are caught in a reactive cycle, never learning that your body is a holistic, interconnected, interdependent, complex being and learning how to exercise like it is.

It’s not that any of the things listed above are bad. Everything has its place, but following this as a sustainable way to live is not sustainable and will not lead to you living your best life.

Ya feel me?

Good Pain and bad Pain.

This is a phrase I use with my members. And it has multiple meanings.

Body pain:

👉🏽 Pain when specifically addressing areas of your body that need work…good. Your body is telling you there is definitely a need there…keep going. 😤

👉🏽 Pain when you are only focused on staying active or using exercises as a means of entertainment and not being proactive with the damage that this is doing to your body.😭

Pain in trying to reach your goals:

👉🏽 Uncomfortable Pain while doing the activities you may not like, but accept that will allow you to grow into your next level. 🤩

👉🏽 Stuck Pain when you allow fear to blend with you and control your thoughts and what you believe is possible. 🙅🏽‍♂️

Good thing you are here as a human being and have a choice. Choose wisely. 🕺🏿

Do you choose good Pain or allow bad Pain to happen?
