Living the Simple Life, One Step at a Time

June 12, 2006

For me, not being sweet has become part of an overall simple and healthy lifestyle.

For instance, my bicycle is my car. My apartment building has a bike garage. Everything is within walking or biking distance and if not, there’s public transportation. The end result is that I bike at least 20 miles a week no matter if I’m in the mood or not. That means increased stamina, more sun and more fresh air. I ride a single speed which is both simple and more physically taxing. It also means a regular cardiovascular workout without paying for a cycling/spin class.

As a Tai Chi instructor I’m part of a community of people that work together to make our lives better by practicing something that makes us healthy. Soon I’ll begin practicing Yoga.

I am telling you this because I couldn’t do have done it eight months ago when I was eating lots of sugar. Eating healthier is one step in an overall approach to living a different kind of life. You have to change one step at a time.

What step could you take today?
