My mom is a client at the gym. She is 68. And she also has early-onset Alzheimer’s.
It’s one of those things in life that just sucks.
But like all things in life that just suck, we can stay in the “this sucks and I can’t do anything about it,” or we can accept the reality of what is, and accept the invitation that God or the universe is giving us to grow, learn, or most importantly, love a little more.
I love having my mom at the gym, and it’s really good for her mental and physical health to be lifting weights and moving her body in new and different ways that challenge her brain-body connection.
And for helping her be physically strong as she goes into her 70s.
That’s true not just for her, but for everyone.
And what all this really has me thinking about lately is how precious our time here really is.
Because there is no question the clock will stop ticking one day for all of us. And part of living a great life is not being scared of that fact, but being really aware of it.
That’s where QTR comes in.
Quality Time Remaining.
The time you have left, assuming you keep your body and mind healthy. Because remember, this isn’t just time remaining, but quality time remaining.
And you guessed it — one of the single most important things you can do to increase the quality and time you have left is take care of your body.
Eat healthy foods 80%+ of the time (fruits, veggies, nuts, whole grains, and lean meats) and don’t eat too much.
Strength train 3x per week.
Walk 8,000–10,000 steps daily.
You start doing that consistently, and I promise you’ll see some big changes in your life.
QTR is a powerful, easy reminder for me that this life is indeed precious, and taking care of ourselves is one of the best ways to enjoy it.
We’re here to help if you’re interested in improve your QTR.
