Jeff Reagan:  Sunday Thoughts (Did you get your steps in?)

2/26/2021

Comments

With all due respect to Dr. Seuss,

I like to walk.
I walk with my wife.
I walk with my dog.
I walk by myself.
I walk for my life.

I talk about walking quite a bit. Because it’s easy, requires no fancy equipment, and you can do it nearly anywhere.
And of course, any movement done regularly, including low-impact walking, is great for you in the long run (no pun intended).
So while I encourage you to walk early and often, and increase your steps along the way, there’s a lot of confusion when it comes to this: how many steps a day should be your goal?
The generally accepted consensus (just ask your neighbor) is 10,000 steps a day is ideal.
But I dug into this a bit. And that number is not really based in science.
The origin of this 10,000 number actually goes all the way back to the mid-60s, and the marketing team behind one of the world’s first pedometers.
A Japanese company wanted a snappy name for their new gadget. And they liked “Manpo-kei,” which translates to “10,000 steps meter.”
Even better for the marketers, the Japanese character for the number 10,000 looks a little like a pair of legs walking. Catchy. But it’s not science....

Have you ever had a Saturday morning where you thought: Finally, I get a weekend to catch up on some projects! It seems we tread water all week, so we look forward to weekends to get some tasks done. And then, we reach Sunday night, and very few tasks, if any, are done.
During this period of isolation during COVID-19, many of us experience a good news, bad news scenario, where we have more time, but often play defense rather than offense with our calendars. Ugh! Where did the time go? 
Here are 10 ideas to leverage during this strange time we’re in to help you get more done.

Jeff Reagan Sunday Thoughts:  Failure

Jeff Reagan Sunday Thoughts:  Failure

Guess what?
I’m a failure. And so are you.
How did that make you feel? I’m guessing, not very good. But stick with me for a minute here this Sunday…
It’s impossible to live in this world without failing at something.
Though I guess you could live your life so cautiously, with no risk and never stretching and never reaching for change, that you can’t help but succeed at things.
But then, that’s not really living, is it? Which is… failure by default.

Jeff Reagan Sunday Thought:  "Did You Know this about Crosswalks?"

Jeff Reagan Sunday Thought:  "Did You Know this about Crosswalks?"

I read an interesting article recently, and at first it made me a little mad.
But once I thought about it for a bit, there’s something going on here that we can really harness in our lives, for the better.
​

Get this: Did you know that when you approach a crosswalk at an intersection, and you push the button to prompt a “Walk” signal, most of the time, pushing the button does absolutely nothing?

Jeff Reagan's Sunday Thoughts - Aging Gracefully

Being alone with your thoughts early on a Sunday morning isn’t always a good thing.
Right now, Karen’s still asleep.
Ellie was a little restless, so I decided to get moving on the day and take her out for a walk in the dark.
And after putting the coffee on, I’ve had some time to just sit and think about stuff.
Specifically, getting older.
Ok, so we’re all getting older. Literally speaking, from the moment you’re born to the moment you pass… it’s getting older by the second.

Jeff Reagan - Sunday Thoughts
- Marriage Work


I’ve said many times here that I’m lucky to have found Karen.
Or, I should say… I’m lucky she chose to finally give me the time of day after much persistence.
We’ve got a good thing, and I recognize that. But despite Karen’s appreciation for “chick flick” romances where everything is rosy because of cosmic forces and overpowering love… marriage takes work.
I can see you nodding your heads.

Jeff Reagan's Sunday Thoughts -
"Bad Dream"


A bad dream woke me up last night.
I won’t go into all the details, but I was on an airplane. Things started getting bumpy. Pretty normal stuff, considering how often I fly…
But this time it was different. Because when I looked into the flight attendant’s eyes I could see it.
And I felt it in my bones.

Jeff Reagan's Sunday Thoughts:  "Grandma Therapy"

Growing up, and well into my adulthood, there were two people I would turn to whenever I needed guidance or advice… my grandparents.
Their words of wisdom were invaluable as I was trying to make major decisions in my life.
Oh, how I wish they were still around…
I know I wouldn’t be where I am today without the love and support of my grandparents.

Jeff Reagan:  Have You Ever Seen a Fat Chimpanzee?

Every so often I’ll get a letter or email from a well-intentioned, but misled reader who insists that they don’t eat bananas because they don’t want to gain weight.
Sigh.
I’m not really sure where the “bananas will make you fat” myth came from, but it’s time to put it to bed, once and for all.
No one ever got fat eating bananas, unless they were sitting on top of a bowl of ice cream, covered in chocolate sauce and whipped cream.
In fact, here are 5 solid reasons you should include bananas in your regular diet
