Full transcript here 👋 Hey, good morning, good afternoon, good evening. This is your life. This is your chance. Listen.

The word for today is transform. Lest I bury the lede, here it is: If you’re alive, you’re in a state of change, being constantly transformed for better or worse. One time, I asked my Facebook community whether they agreed that our bodies are the average of all the actions we choose, whether nutritionally, educationally, physically, etc. I got some immediate push back from a few friends that were considering people with debilitating disabilities, and I felt like an idiot because I was working in a disability-related field at the time. I believe their point was that some people don’t have the ability to choose to go to the gym, whether due to a mental or physical disability. While this is a valid reason that we’re not fully the product of our choices, we do have some control in this life. We can choose to reach out or self-isolate. We can choose what we will put into our bodies. We can choose to be sedentary or move. There are exceptions to each of these, but that’s life. The only guarantee is death, so let’s transform ourselves in order to enjoy the ride.

Today’s concrete challenge is to choose one action that will leave your body and mind more healthy, fit, or knowledgeable. It could be as simple as eating a nutritious snack, stretching, doing a few jumping jacks, or asking a friend an open-ended question. 

If you want to commit, say the following phrase: “I will transform myself in one positive way.”

I’ll keep the music playing while you get it done, and don’t miss the soundtrack at the end of this episode.

Before you go, repeat the following soundtrack, “I am the kind of person who lives intentionally.”
