CEO of FitFuel.com, Luke Burgis, presents his theory of The Healthy Sloth - how to be healthier by doing less and enjoying yourself while you're at it.
30. Step 1 If you tox, then you should detox. Toxic Activities Detox Activities Net Health Tx + Dx = Hn
31. Some Examples If you… Then… Drink A Six-Pack Run 6 Miles! Eat Ben & Jerry’s Smoke a Cigarette Want to quit First… Enjoy It Enjoy It Enjoy It Get off your ass!
32. See a Pattern? If you do something counter-productive, do something productive.
33. See a Pattern? The key is awareness . The first step to eating something bad is knowing that you’re eating something bad. Accept that. Then, do something about it.
35. Discipline To the contrary – true discipline is getting right back on track after you stopped to enjoy one of life’s pleasures. … which you should be doing!
36. Sustainability This is the key to sustaining good health. Anyone can be healthy for weeks or months at a time.
37. Sustainability You will get off track. It’s how you respond to it that matters.
38. Balance Health is balance. (one of Fit Fuel’s guiding business principles, by the way)
42. The Law of Trying Too Hard The harder you try to reach a goal and the more you obsess over it, the harder it is too reach. And the less you enjoy the ride!
43. The Law of Trying Too Hard Find your rhythm. Let things come too you. It is much easier to meet health in the middle.
46. It’s All in Your Head You are pumped to start getting in shape But waking up at 6 a.m. is starting to get a little old You start seeing changes – it gets you even more stoked Actually, it’s getting real old You stuck with it. Change comes slower. But it’s “change that you can believe in.” A typical workout commitment. Motivation Time
