Over the last few days I've grown to enjoy listening to YouTube podcasts by Jim Rohn and Rob Dial. Both men have different agendas and messages they're trying to convey, and I'm good with their efforts even when I don't entirely receive them. That people will either grow or weaken over time seems to be the main idea, and I appreciate the similar stoic philosophies underlying their talking points. So our brains are there to protect us, and keeping ourselves in a state of comfort seems to fit the bill as far as our brains are concerned. Consequently, I'm supposed to deliberately seek out discomfort and resist the obvious temptations to choose the easy course of action (or inaction). Changing habits is very much a feasible proposition, and it's best to start small and not let boredom or pressure unduly and negatively influence me. I don't dig Rohn's tendency to be all-or-nothing with his ideology, but here I am at age 69 with a most serious brain cancer diagnosis and the opportunity to build my mind and body back up into a fine state of VO2-max level cardiovascular fitness with plenty of resources and time for reading and study...maybe this will help with my lifespan and healthspan. Now it's about working out and studying while watching my hydration, recovery, and attitude. So I ran in place early this morning for eight minutes, with more to come...
