Do you remember writing reports in elementary school about a recent trip or vacation you had taken?
Today’s post describes health and fitness industry insights and personal physical highlights from my trip last week to the Functional Aging Institute (FAI) Summit in Salt Lake City, Utah.
1. My business insight is taken from the full version of our Continuing On…title to this post, which first was heard as a phrase in my Headspace meditation app.
The Headspace narrator spoke…”Continuing On Our Way” as a transition, self-talk state of mind regarding whatever comes next in life, whether we are in the beginning, end or middle stage of whatever we are experiencing.
The Aha moment resulted from the conference’s theme about the explosive growth of Longevity resources and interest as tail end of the Baby Boomers are now entering their sixties.
Half way into the weekend the thought came…”I’m already doing much of what the conference is recommending. Guess I’ll just Continue On My Way with Vibrant Longevity as the underlying purpose of a TrueToMyBody lifestyle.”
2. Physical sensations were that conference hotel meeting rooms are still COLD!
During my trip, air conditioning temperatures felt as though they were kept just above freezing.
Always bring multiple clothing layers and jacket if you attend a hotel conference, particularly in the Summer.
3. Strength training pays off.
I’ve kept a phrase from author Simon Sinek’s Start With Why series of business books. That sentence is an airline quote of “You are free to move about the cabin.” as expressive of the joy of movement in any circumstance.
Different than normal trips. I brought my hand carry-on satchel and airline approved suitcase into the plane cabin with me on the flight home.
The challenge would be whether I could lift the suitcase into the overhead bin – particularly since my current height is 4’11”.
Arrived at my seat. The bin was open. In one smooth move I hoisted the suitcase over my head and shoved it into the bin.
An athletic young man was standing right behind me, looking ready to lift it for me.
The words came out so easily…“I’ve been training.” He understood.
Today shall we Continue On Our Way?
Life is On Our Side. WF!
