At this time of year lots of people are making resolutions about their health. Being better at eating, sleeping, moving is a commitment hundreds of thousands of people across the globe are making.
Maybe it's because we weren't really designed as humans to have to schedule time to move and by fitting it into a schedule we are actually going against how our brains and body are wired. It's a helpful insight for me to push around, but still doesn't solve the challenge I'm having right now of ensuring I'm taking care of my physical health.
I think it all has something to do with devoting time to myself. While reading is time for myself, somehow it also feels productive and many books I read will likely help my professional life too. Being active feels more like something just for me. While I could dress it up as taking care of myself in order to help others, I think I have to figure out how to be OK with it when it is something that is only for me and that's the best reason to do it.
This blog post doesn't really have any particular insight other than trying to work through this. It's likely to be something I have a two steps forward, one back relationship with.
