Motion
I sat in a large auditorium nearly 30 years ago for the first day of orientation for my doctor life. One of the first things I remember hearing was a statement that set the pace for the rest of my life…so far. As I teach students, treat patients, and watch the world in general, the truth has never been so apparent. Complacency, stagnation, and lethargy is the world’s pandemic that I study. It’s causing early death, less than good life, and in my opinion, culture’s demise. I commonly ask people how their day, week, or weekend was; typically, I hear boring, deflated answers…”nothing much” is what I commonly hear when I ask what someone is up to. Here’s what I getting at…the last 30 years for me have gone by in a blink; I ponder mortality more and more and realize my personal clock is ticking. ⏰. Sitting in stagnation, gaining weight, watching the world spin, and waiting to check out is not something you will hear me speak of or do. Movement is crucial, healthy practices are paramount, and focus on positive pursuits is critical. Many of the people I admire are a bit older than me, but still killing it, because they realize the secret. Constant motion is the key, both in mind and in body. You lose them with disuse…you all know this. Now, get busy living!! The quote I mentioned earlier is…. “Motion is life…” Please take this seriously 🙏🏻 Tic, tock 🕰️ SM
