The fitness industry might be booming, but being fit isn’t exactly the norm. No matter our intentions, it’s often hard to turn down the slice of pie that everyone’s having, or a glass from that pitcher of beer that’s going around the table. Face it: being fit is a personal choice, and it requires thinking for yourself.
Easier said than done, right? Not according to Life is a Jounal: this site has list of 10 ways to think for yourself. A few of the suggestions are especially good for the aspiring smarter, fitter folk:
- Don’t feel you have to follow the crowd.
- Trust your feelings.
- Be Brave.
I’d like to add a a couple of my own:
- Know what you want. Write it down. Remind yourself. Make it a part of you. When you’ve done this, all other distractions will be “off the radar”.
- Live deliberately, as Henry David Thoreau said:
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion.
