Flexible, because it’s a habit

Community commercial center
Not Church. Or is it?

Arrived 30 minutes before massage appointment. Walked from home. Uncertain about what route and how long. But, i did know no matter what route taken, i’d arrive no later than 10 minutes early.

With 20 extra minutes of unscheduled time now available, i did extended-stretching for the first time in weeks; this is a 20-minute block devoted to nothing but stretching.

No rain, just early-morning November humidity. Sitting on the store promenade, it becomes easily noticed.
7-second video: Groin stretch. To keep t-shirt dry for Spa entry, carried it entire two-mile walk.

After the massage, walked to get flu shot. A nice, easy, six-mile walk.

Church:

  • Habitually flexible to roll with the present moment
  • Habitually motivated to move
  • Habitually motivated to be outside
  • Habitually motivated to not use a car

Church is habitually doing things that are good and decent.

In the quiet during the 20-minute unplanned stretch session on the ground, peace joined me. Peace joined me in the walk to the Grocery store pharmacy for the flu shot. Peace joined me on the walk back home.

Dying to write this

When you’re a dying man and you know it, you can write like this…

Deep breath.

Exhale.

Because i don’t do certain things doesn’t mean i don’t want to…

Just because i’m always positive doesn’t mean i’m not tempted to be negative.

Just because i exercise regularly doesn’t mean i wouldn’t rather relax at home.

Just because i rarely eat sugar doesn’t mean i don’t want to eat chocolate all day, every day.

Just because i go to bed early and awake early doesn’t mean i don’t want to stay up late or sleep in.

Just because i consistently go to Church doesn’t mean i’d rather use Sunday mornings for something else.

Just because i do not get angry doesn’t mean i don’t want to get angry.

Just because i work so hard to be amazing in my profession doesn’t mean i’d rather spend less time studying, networking, writing, and chasing impossible goals.

Just because i’m decently organized, doesn’t mean there aren’t many days where it is so hard to make decisions on what to keep, what to donate, and what to recycle.

Just because i love technology doesn’t mean i love all the time it takes to keep up with it.

Years ago, i purchased the domain name Excuse Whisperer .com

Wishing everyone, especially you, the best today.

It’s hard until it’s not

It’s hard until it’s not.

Every habit you have now was once hard.

For crying out loud, remember walking? That took two years. Now you do it all day, everyday and never give it a second thought.

Raising your standards and efforts for all five of life’s big choices is challenging until you eventually get the hang of it, like walking, and it then becomes a second-nature habit.

Auto-pilot.

Pro tip: Do the reps.

Never get bored with the basics.

A simple, timely, sincere thank you.

Appreciation is ‘Church’.
