Here is the solution to understanding an ever-more common anxiety-causing malady. And how the key to solving it is getting two things – knowing what it takes to get healthy – and the power of understanding how to choose the quickest line at the grocery store.
Ever feel like you can’t get everything done? Like there is a never ending to-do list that you can’t reach the bottom? And that some things just sit there, always undone?
Then the really hard part. There are so many exciting things that other people are doing – vacations, dinners out, exciting parties, events. The list goes on and on.
It can feel like we would rather be doing what almost anyone else is doing instead of what we have on our own plate in front of us. These days, they call this FOMO – the Fear Of Missing Out.
And it is more widespread than ever. It is the fear that what everyone else is doing is better. More fun, more social, more exciting. And that what we ourselves are doing might be… unimportant. Or worse.
Boring.
First, the trick to understanding the quickest line at the grocery store. While it may seem that you always choose the slower line, the truth is that it isn’t you. You aren’t flawed, or a naturally bad, slow or unlucky person. It is simply a numbers game. Four grocery lines to choose from?
By odds the chance you get the fastest line is only 25%. Maybe you can judge the size of the carts, and the speed of the cashiers, but you are still working against an uphill battle of the odds. And this leaves you feeling like you make the wrong choice. All. The. Time. Other people are going faster, getting where they want to go. While you are left waiting and going slower than everyone else.
Just like FOMO.
The trick is, there are more people around us than ever to compare ourselves to. Hence, the increase. But what is the real key to this stressful conundrum is to give yourself the gift of more time. Years, in fact, full of active, exciting, social activity that anyone would envy.
And that trick is to use your time the most wise way possible – to increase your health. It is said that we all have the same 24 hours in a day. But what that saying misses is that we can give ourselves the best gift there is. The gift of years of vibrant healthy activity. But only so long as we are willing to make the right investments (and miss out on the few specific things that are going to make you really miss out after all). Want to know more? Give us a call.
Your health can protect you from the over-commercialization of the holidays. More and more, we hear about how the holidays have turned into something different than what they used to be. Instead of the “true” meaning of Christmas and other holidays they have become about consumerization. Buying and selling and big online sales, they had taken over the season.

Has anyone told you you don’t need permission to be a superhero? Or that you don’t need someone to tell you it’s okay to help other people? There are some amazing stories of people that decided they didn’t want to wait to help the people around them that needed help. These were people that didn’t have advanced degrees or complicated certifications. What they did have was the sense of action and an overwhelming urgency to start making changes in the world around them.
It’s a classic phrase by Rene Descartes – one that is instantly recognizable. And it comes from a totally unrecognizable world – 1637.
Yet it is still true today. Descartes’ attempt to get to the very bedrock of what he was as a human being is worth looking at as we turn over into the new year. Especially as we examine the beginning of something new – a time when discussions turn to the entire idea of new, and what the idea of new creates – the vision of new possibilities.
Anti-aging is a trick. And like all tricks, it’s not real. We all slow down, grow old, and die. But like all tricks, when done well, they are amazing and fun. Here is how the trick of anti-aging can work for you.
Take the aging progression above and expand it all the way. From the time we are very young, we grow, get bigger, stronger, smarter and generally better at everything as we go.
