It is my job to help
people do things they don’t actually want to do for their own good in a way
that is as pleasant as possible so they keep doing it.
Occasionally, I consider
helping people do things they do want to do for the same reasons. Here are some things I would like us all to
do more often:
• Sleep. Nearly every time I go to yoga, someone falls
asleep during savasana. We are, as a
people, that sleep-deprived. Sometimes
the right fitness decision is to take a nap.
(When some genius opens a napping studio and makes a billion dollars, I
will kick myself for not having done it first.)
• Get a massage.
Many of us are so tense we
can hardly move. Getting some of the kinks
worked out of those muscles will help make the next workout better.
• Meditate. Our brains need to relax,
too. Finding a few minutes to pray or
meditate or just plain breathe can help us create clarity in our lives.
Some fitness things are
naturally both good for us and pleasant.
Let’s do them!
