There are certain things in life that you know are good for you.
And there are certain things that you know are good for you AND you happen to enjoy them as well.
Let’s call these things “Healthy and Good.”
My list of Healthy and Good include eating healthy food, taking the pups on long walks, playing my guitar, meditating, practicing yoga, reading.
There’s more but that’s a good start.
What’s on your list of Healthy and Good?
Go ahead and think about it…write them down. I’ll wait.
Now look at your list.
How many of the Healthy and Good are you doing on a regular basis?
When I look at my list, I see SEVERAL Healthy and Good that I am NOT doing regularly.
Instead, I opt to spend my time dallying on the InterWebs, playing WordTwist on Facebook, or zoning out in front of the TV.
All of which at the time SEEM to be what I want to do.
But if you ask me for my OPINION of those activities, I would say they are uninteresting and a waste of precious time.
They don’t make me feel especially good.
They don’t help me get closer to accomplishing any of my goals.
So WHY do I keep doing them?
WHY do I do them at the expense of doing Healthy and Good activities that better reflect my values and make me feel HAPPY?
I just don’t get it.
Why do we avoid the very things we know are good for us and we enjoy doing?

One of the BEST decisions we ever made was to disconnect cable. You’d be amazed at how much time you “get back” when you can’t check out with the tube. It does wonders for your relationship too
LOVE IT!
That seems like one of those things that is so drastic but once you do it you can’t imagine why you didn’t do it earlier. Maybe we’ll begin with no TV on certain days of the week!
