Rule 1, step 3: Develop a Life Charter.
It took me awhile to establish my life charter. Mine did not jump out at me; I developed my charter over time. I like how in the book, Barbara states " My plan is utterly portable and has become second nature". I like this because
- My life is pretty dynamic, so portability is key.
- My life in weight maintenance mode is a whole different ball game than my past attempts at maintenance, so second nature is required.
- Eat Primal/Paleo at structured times,
- Walk the hills with my camera,
- Sleep more and stress less.
- Good Coffee, Good Friends, our Families, and my Higher Power will get me through
I thought her book was so great and this was a wonderful suggestion. I too need one that is portable.
ReplyDeletePortable is a really interesting concept.
ReplyDeleteI was the opposite of portable in the beginning (on purpose)
I scaled way back and hunkered down to the utter basics.
I have three kids (22, 18, 14 which this year means grad school on east coast, undergraduate within a couple hours of us, high school). I am a busy person. I was once over busy as a means of avoiding myself.
Just this year, I have started adding back in very worthy (no food) activities.
My food still mostly comes from home. I had three major trips this summer and also a broken foot. But I was pretty careful with myself.
So I guess I am expanding into carefully chosen portable.
ReplyDeleteThis was a very interesting post.
