Good General Conference Advice To Help Us Overcome Lazy

Imagine that! We got some amazing counsel from our leaders at General Conference. Glad I listened! One particular concept stood out to me because, while it applies to our eternal spiritual salvation, it can be totally applied to our physical health and happiness, as well.

Elder Neil L. Anderson said, "Our journey of discipleship is not a dash around the track, nor is it even comparable to a lengthy marathon. It is a life-long migration toward a more celestial world."

Can't that totally be said about our journey to optimal health and happiness: It is a life-long migration toward a more healthful, un-lazy lifestyle.

I also extracted these thoughts from a few of his later comments: Not every day is our best performance. We'll have our ups and downs over the weeks/months/years (physically, emotionally, spiritually) but it's the consistancy of our efforts - both large and small - that gets us to our ultimate goals.

So, that being said: make the small effort to stay focused on your Golden Sneaker goals by filling out the Weekly Progress Report survey! I can't wait to see how many of you made the effort to march!

I also can't wait to introduce the next phase of our Golden Sneaker Challenge very soon. Let's just say Fit Stanley is a name with whom you will soon become familiar. He's coming to visit each one of you!

Stay tuned....
