Setting Your Primary Focus

I mostly enjoy reading posts by Steve Pavlina. His recent article, Setting Your Primary Focus, says to resolve to focus on one thing in the coming year, rather than making any resolutions. Read the article for his explanation.

I have decided that health is my one thing. I tend to think about money by default, so that's taken care of.

The truth is, Sharky has become a chubby bunny.

Steve says:

For example, if you’re 50 pounds overweight, that’s a serious problem that will negatively affect many parts of your life, including your health, your career, and your relationships.

I'm not quite 50 pounds overweight, but by the same token nobody wants to see my belly. Although, now I think about it, nobody really wanted to see it before :-)

So it's to the gym for me, as soon as I move cities, as soon as I get a job, as soon as v1.0 is out. Until then, I'm trying to walk 10,000 steps per day.

And, as Steve Pavlina said in a different post, it's all about turning up. You go to the gym, and you're going to do a workout. The more often you turn up, the fitter you'll become. It's the turning up that's the hard part.
