#48 How sitting up ten times daily can grow a tower of health

September 4, 10 //

It may be difficult to build a tower at once. Though to build one over two years is a realistic objective.

Building increased fitness each and every day by a modest amount of exercise is a simple process.

You don’t have the time to go to the gym/workout/exercise/whatever-else? I have found that, if I replace the time spent thinking about this with action, I can actually do a modest amount of exercise . The effect of the exercise rapidly accumulates over a number of days.

Why make the investment in exercise? The return on the investment is quicker recovery time if injured, and better ability to deal with the stresses of life.

The stomach muscles are responsible for many body movements and by doing at least ten sit-ups per day I enable the tower to grow daily.

After getting up in the morning I’ve only nine more left to do.

Getting Things Done (GTD) is a pretty well known system for improving your life productivity created by David Allen.
It details a method of collecting all your inputs in one system. By inputs I mean any input into your life schedule such as events, things to do, or material possesions. All these things and more make up “stuff” that you effectively and efficiently manage using the GTD system.

Gone are the days of not knowing where an item is, even if it lies in a swollen inbox.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed with life’s inputs the GTD system is sure to assist in helping you regain control and lower your stress.

How to score a goal when the goal moves suddenly

You’ve heard of moving goalposts, right?
Well, this is about goals being kicked away and what to do about it.

Often when you aim for a target your goal is likely to get kicked away from you.
For example, right now as I sit by the roadside with a split cycle tyre the goal of getting fit feels as far away as the puncture repair kit is -that I was certain I’d packed when I left home this morning.
Sometimes you feel like you shouldn’t have bothered, and you’d be better off not having tried.
That’s the deceptive thing about Success, before you reach any worthy goal it will ask you if you really want it.
The feelings of dissappointment and dejection are just that – feelings, though they are intense at the time they occur.

Any great achievement is adorned with much dissappointment and defeat along the way. History deliberates not over lost battles as much as wars won.
So if your goal is kicked off target remember it’s the aim of Persistence that will help you score.
Keep on keeping on, Success is calling you.

#7 Modify your goal achievement rate by creating a PocketMod

If you have a to-do list, goal list, or any other kind of list, that you think would be better carried in printed form I’d strongly recommend a PocketMod to do the job.
You enter your list into a software application and the output is an A4 size sheet that can be folded into a mini booklet. For example, the booklet is very handy as an inventory list of what you’ve taken with you on holiday. Small, neat and does the job beautifully. You may have your revision notes for each subject printed onto individual PocketMods.
It has a multitude of uses, and though it would probably be used for lists, it’s not limited to solely list information.
Want a mini goal reminder in your wallet?
Then modify what you cary in your pocket, PocketMod those goals!

What will the future hold? Think about it.

Time has three dimensions, the past, the present, and the future.
The first of these, our past, is recorded in videos, photographs, print, inscriptions, and memory.
The second, the present, is a constantly flowing flux that is being played out to, and absorbed by, our senses.
What about the third, the future? What does the future hold? What will the world look like in say five, or ten years time?

If we could take a mental snapshot of humanity, a photo of our minds’ thoughts we’d see what is yet to unfold. For the thoughts of our mind now will become actions of the future.

For the thoughts of our mind now will become actions of the future.

Wide angle lens anyone? Just don’t think about cheese when the ‘photo’ is taken! ;-)

#2 Set Goals

Without life goals to aim for we're 'shooting blanks' with our time.Remember Confucius never said “An arrow can only strike the target if the target exists.” This is because I made up that sentence just now in order to illustrate the point of setting goals.

A goal, tangible or virtual, is a marker by which we can measure our efforts. No marker means there’s no way of knowing you’re reaching your goal. It’s the target on the shooting range, the bullseye on the dartboard, the lap time on the clock, the landing light on the runway, the point “B” on the Google map, the luggage carousel in the airport…err, well you get my drift. It’s the point that tells you you’ve hit the mark, acheived, or arrived at where you want to be in life.

We take many corrective steps to steer us towards the marker (the goal) till we eventually achieve it.

Want to be successful? Define what success means to you, write it down and set down your marker. Set your goal.

My current goal is 166 more edits away (sic.) ;)
