“It’s not enough to know the concept. The point is to actually put it to use.”
- Be active. Even when you suck at it.
- Eat well and less often
- Play everyday
Be Active – I find that generally, I am a poor example of an athlete. That said, it doesn’t make me less of one. You are what you do. If you write you are a writer, if you run you are a runner, and if you sing you are a singer.
Eat well and less often – humans were not built to eat 3 meals a day. We have been conditioned that way based on the beliefs of others, the food industry, and a medical system that is always evolving. There is a reason fasting has been a part of our culture for thousands of years. There is no scientific evidence to prove foraging during the day and feasting at night are less beneficial than 3 square meals a day. When we eat is as equally important as what we eat.
Play every day – Do something that puts a smile on your face. Do something for the simple joy of doing it. Balance walk a curb, run circles with your pet, chase your kids around like you are one of them. Life is too short to work towards the shortest part of your life.
I will do my best to accomplish these every day, but not judge myself when I don’t. Humanity is not mechanics.
