What I am about to share with your is not a secret. Maybe you don’t know it, because few people tell you this, but you already know everything you need to know to be happy, healthy, and loving. Per Robert Fulghum, you learned it in kindergarten. What I am about to share with your is fact and simultaneously metaphor. It is as abundant and free as sunlight. Let’s walk together.

My Idea of a Happy Healthy Person

The secret is there is no secret. You don’t need Tony Robbins’ level motivation. Once you learn to ride a bike, you got it. From there, you just ride.

No one person can tell you what you need. Only you know what you need to thrive. Being aware of the simple principles you already know well help you get there.

Strength

If you’re happy with your body, size, strengths, activity level, or general physical presence- Keep doing what you’re doing! It’s working. If you want to increase staminal or strength, you increase activity level, you work out, you change your diet, maybe heavier on proteins, less carbs? Pretty standard model, right?

If you want to lose muscles, sit on the couch for 6 months and order your groceries. Muscles will atrophy. No effort necessary.
