NOT ALL EXERCISES ARE GOOD RECIPES FOR THE SOUL!
After writing about New Year’s resolutions last week and how often we set ourselves up for failure, I thought it only fitting to gift you with a snappy recipe for success.
Although I will share with you here a list of EXERCISES THAT DO NO GOOD, I wish I could remember where I first found this list or who first handed it to me, as I’ve had it for years. I trust that I am plagiarizing no one and that it is, in fact, a generic list available in a variety of formats from which we can each take whatever is helpful.
So, in the spirit of wishing to make life easier, and in the words of Sir William Osler: “LIVE NEITHER IN THE PAST NOR IN THE FUTURE,BUT LET EACH DAY’S WORK ABSORB YOUR ENERGIES AND SATISFY YOUR WIDEST AMBITION …” I offer this list of what to avoid, if you wish to succeed in satisfying your ambitions, fulfilling your hopes, and realizing your dreams.
EXERCISES THAT DO NO GOOD
CLIMBING
the walls
DRAGGING
your heels
GRABBING
at straws
SKIPPING
your meals
TILTING
at windmills
SPINNING
your wheels
JUMPING
the gun
PASSING
the buck
KICKING
yourself
PUSHING
your luck
STRETCHING
the truth
RUNNING
amok
May we all run gracefully, eat healthily, and create situations that will – more likely than not – offer us success.
Do let me know if this recipe satisfies your palette and is food for your soul!
Warm regards ~ Linda
