Dear Friends,
A couple of years ago, a farmer came in for a visit around the end of a very rainy June, and he was lamenting about the weather. “You know, we get all this rain from April to June. Then it will be bone dry in July and August and the weather man will say it was an average year for moisture.” He continued, “That’s not how it works. If you take one foot and put it in a bucket of ice cold water and place your other foot in a bucket of scalding water, on average you should be comfortable – but you are not.”
That is a great observation. Patients do this all the time with their health. I see people go from gorging on junk food to fasting; from training like an Olympian to couch potato and back again. Neither extreme is sustainable. Heck, we are like that politically – we let the far left and far right choose the candidates and they say they will govern in the middle. Never do.
Politics, health, weather… all can feel like a pendulum. Sometimes, you simply want to jump off the swing and land in the middle. Like the stock market, it’s hard to time and you can go broke trying.
Here is some health/life advice. Number one: don’t settle for average. We were given way to many blessings and gifts by our creator. Shoot for exceptional. “Aim high, miss high.” One of my favorite mentors taught me that when I was on his campaign cabinet for United Way. Better to aim high and fall short than aim low and hit the target.
Number two: Look for lifestyle modifications that will yield the greatest return for the least investment. Even if you’re aiming high, you don’t always have to go to extremes to get there. Here are a few examples.
Freebie 1 – Get more sleep!
Freebie 2 – Get off your butt and move. Motion is lotion – I don’t care how much, just get moving.
Freebie 3 – Live with a mindset of gratitude. When you do, the blessings that will appear in your life will flood you with abundance – not just materially, but emotionally and spiritually.
Number three: Be the tortoise, not the hare. I don’t know about you, but I’m sick of sprinting into the new year with dozens of resolutions, just to burn out by January 10th. Take your time. Choose a new life-giving habit to commit to every month until it becomes second nature. You could start with one of the freebies above.![]()
