Note: From a discussion with Jim on health, movement and time.

Jim: Funny thing, many people go for all the “conveniences” available today. Like that gal [Alexa], who can turn the lights on and off or open and close the door, so they don’t have to be bothered to get up and do it. There’s all kinds of gadgets in homes today so people do not have to bend over and pick something up, or lift a finger for any given task. Often these same people are constantly trying to see how they can lose weight. They prefer “convenience” and very limited “movement” and they do not connect the dots that maybe this is one thing contributing to their health condition and to their weight problem… that is, they don’t move much.

I’ve always been a big proponent of movement. Daily walks, interval walking, slow walk, fast walk, maximum effort walk, and of course jumping. These are the basics, and from there take your pick on what exercise suits you, ride a bike, get a skate board, swim, run, do push-ups, pull ups, yoga, tai-chi, or any number of other practices! Go to the gym if you have to or pick from a long list of sports—but whatever you do, move every day! Movement is a vital part of health.

And remember, healing often takes time. Now-a-days, we want everything “right now” on the spot, if something [a remedy] is not working quickly, we deem it not working at all. I think we are missing the point sometimes that in the journey of healing, we stand to make new discoveries, such as maybe we learn about diet and how to better determine what our daily diet should be. Through the healing “process” there are many things we learn and gain along the way in the “time” that it takes to heal. Be thankful for the quick results when they come. But remember, be patient when needed. Some healing simply takes time, stay consistent with the protocols and keep going step by step.
