Enjoyed the article. If anyone thinks they can’t exercise because of their age, they might want to look at the You Tube videos on my blog.

This article is worthwhile for everyone from the novice to the expect. For me a gentle reminder is always welcome.

The verbiage we use is important on many levels. I earn my keep on the planet as an Energy Diagnostic-Medical Intuitive and Vibrational Healer. The words we “speak” and “think” are potent . On a daily basis I see words play out behind the scenes in and around many dimensions. Your article supports this. Thank you!

This is a really great article. Although I have heard it all before, it is easy to fall back into those habits. This article takes the bull by the horn and minces no words. It is a great reminder to forget about any excuses once and for all. Thanks for sharing that!

Sheila – Good point….as the little green Buddha known as Yoda said “Try Not……Do….or Do Not….there is No try!”

As a trainer, I appreciate the importance of taking away excuses or vocabulary that is self limiting. The other one is “I will try” instead of ‘I will”

Marti – fantastic story and way to go (both you and your father!). Don’t let anyone tell you what you can not achieve….anything is possible.

Scott – so true….Get ‘er done!

Joanne – You are right, there is some sort of “pride” nowadays in being sick, getting old, having issues…I don’t personally get it myself. Maybe people want attention or sympathy? I tend to not cater to people like that….I will motivate them to get better of course, but not let them use any excuses. What people “want” to hear and what they “need” to hear can be 2 very different things nowadays. We all get old….but I plan on staying active and not sitting around letting my body fall apart because of irresponsibility on my part. Having issues is one thing….but taking action to correct them is the most important thing. I plan on being surfing at 70…and heck I don’t even know how to surf…Yet!

Kat – Yup, we all have enough time. In fact the words “time management” are not necessary, as we don’t need to manage anything that we have plenty of! If someone just turned off the phone, TV, computer and went for an all day hike in the woods….I dare them to tell me that days go by too quickly. It’s how we decide to use that time that matters….unfortunately most are stuck in a rut of hating their jobs so to get their mind off it they turn to the billion dollar distraction industry that can be anything from video games/TV shows/professional sports/movies….ever wonder why people in the industry of “distractions” make millions? Not that one can’t enjoy a movie, sports game or otherwise…..we just can get wrapped up in using them all the time.

Kat, I agree with that wholeheartedly! Most people that “don’t have time” are spending hours in front of the TV when they could be spending 30 minutes in the kitchen cooking up a good meal. They also think that you have to spend an hour and a half at the gym when a good workout can be had in under 15 minutes. It won’t turn you into an Olympian, but it will keep you in shape.

Cheers

Let’s also get rid of “I wish I could but I just don’t have time”

No-one ‘has’ time, but we always manage to find it for the things that are truly important to us. Time for exercise and correct nutrition is not about “I’ll do it when I get a chance”, it’s about making a decision that living your life a certain way will lead to outcomes that enable you to get far more out of the rest of your life.

The people who live with exceptional health and energy are those who just live their lives that way. They don’t think about if, but, maybe. It’s just who they are. They simply make it happen. And anyone can choose to be that person.

Great post – we would all do well to watch our vocabulary. It is much more powerful than many of us think.
