It Worked So Well I Stopped Doing It

My best friend, Jimmy, used to say that all the time as a reminder that often we know what is best for us and we just stop doing it.

Meanwhile we expend lots of energy and anxiety trying to find new ways to do what we already know works.

I said “It worked so well I stopped doing it” just today to remind myself that I am still guilty of walking away from doing what I know works.

In this case, I like to stay physically fit.  I have gyms and treadmills in both my Arizona and New Jersey homes.  But when I was away from the equipment on vacation at a rented beach house I had none of that.

I had to rely on what used to work better than all this equipment that I own.  It’s called The Royal Canadian Air Force Fitness Plan – you know, just for the week, right?

I had it right way back then when I couldn’t even afford a treadmill so what I’m saying is – I’ll add the extra goodies in but I’m going back to what worked well for so long that I stopped doing it.

It could be anything.

Or everything.

Do I have any company out there?
