PAUL DAY

MIND

Lyndon B. Johnson 1908

“There is division in the American house now. There is divisiveness among us all tonight. And holding the trust that is mine, as President of all the people, I cannot disregard the peril to the progress of the American people and the hope and prospect of peace for all people…. With America’s sons in the fields faraway, with America’s future under challenge right here at home … I do not believe that I should devote an hour or a day of my time to any personal partisan causes…. Accordingly, I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your President.”

*How many politicians would walk away because of division on their watch? Today is the day for you to step aside if you don’t think you are doing a good job. Let someone else do your job as you find something more suited for you.

SOUL

Cesar Millan 1969

“Just like the dogs on the show, my life tends to become filled with anxiety when I am scurrying around working feverishly in my own strength, or barking loudly to get my own way, rather than following my Leader. If I were to stop, attain a “calm and surrendered state” through prayer, and wait patiently for God to show me the next step, things would go much more smoothly.”

*Stop. Attain a calm and surrendered state through prayer. Wait for God to show you the next step. Afterwards, play with your dog – it’s good for both of your souls.

MONEY

FOOD

Paul Reubens 1952 – Reuben sandwich

Nothing brings a star crashing to earth like a kid-show host charged with exposing himself in a porno theater

For a great Reuben – grill the sandwich slowly and under some pressure, so the bread gets toasty brown and buttery crisp, the meat gets warmed through, and the cheese is just melted enough to be oozy.

https://www.wellandgood.com/good-sweat/blake-lively-workout-from-her-trainer/

*This comes from a great website, wellandgood.com and is the Day 3 of Blake Lively’s workout week that stresses intensity. Tread water and do long-distance swimming today. Watch her in The Shallows for motivation to swim faster – think Castaway meets Jaws meets Baywatch.

SOUL

*Visit someone special’s gravesite today. It has probably been a while.

DO NOT MISS WORK DAY

MIND

“You may wake up in the morning and wonder, “What’s the point of trying?” With CBT, you learn to tell yourself, “That’s not a helpful thought. Making an effort has lots of rewards. I’ll start by getting out of bed.”

*See a therapist today and ask about CBT strategies that you can use to help with anxiety. Of course you will exercise today and throw in some meditation too.

BODY

Cal Ripken Jr. 1960

On the night before the start of the season in which he would break one of the most prestigious records in baseball history, Ripken played two-on-two wearing loafers, because there was a hoop and there were players. Did his team win? “We crushed,” he said.

GONE TOO SOON DAY

MIND

Kobe Bryant 1978

BODY

BODY

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje 1967

“We lived in the gym! Really, it was like a regimen. We had four weeks’ training before principal photography, which consisted of two hours of fight training with swordsmanship and weaponry, and fight choreography, which is quite grueling, and then an hour of weight training and then an hour of cardio. So we did about four hours a day of working out for about four weeks.”

FOOD

Giada De Laurentiis 1970 – peach and bacon frittata

De Laurentiis told The Chew hosts that she was called Jabba the Hutt — not because of her looks, but because Star Wars had just come out, and “Jabba” and “Giada” sound too similar for kids to resist.

Kacey Musgraves 1988

The lyrics to Kacey’s songs suggest that she is tolerant to religious belief but also critical of it as well:

“I ain’t one to knock religion/Though it’s always knocking me”

*Just like everything else in life, be critical of religion. Don’t just accept things that you don’t agree with. Listen to Musgraves for motivation.

MONEY

Kenny Rogers 1938

“It’s one of the downfalls of the business. I had nothing as a child. I kind of blew it out as an adult. When I was a kid growing up in the projects I walked to school through a very wealthy neighborhood and everybody had automatic sprinklers and I thought, ‘That is so cool. Someday I want to have automatic sprinklers.’ So when I got a lot of money the first thing I did was get automatic sprinklers on a 1,200 acre property. I would drive around on my golf cart watching the sprinklers go off. I loved that!”

*Don’t be a coward – make a list of the things you want when you strike it rich. Just don’t gamble your money away – you’ve got to know when to hold them – know when to fold them.

Wilt Chamberlain 1936 – 7-Up and an entire chicken

When Wilt first went to the Lakers, he asked for 7-Up to be supplied in the locker room.

According to long-time Laker announcer Chick Hearn, Wilt did used to eat an entire chicken at halftime

If Wilt started at the age of 15, from then up to the age of 55 (when the book was published) he would have had 40 years to sleep with 20,000 women, or 500 different women a year—easy math.

That works out to roughly 1.4 women a day.

SIDENOTE: In 1896, Benjamin Harrison married his deceased wife’s niece, Mary Lord Dimmick, a widow nearly thirty years his junior.

BODY

Demi Lovato 1992

“I’ve learned to appreciate my body for what it is. It helps to remind myself how far I’ve come. I recently saw pictures from my first tour, and I spent that whole summer performing in the heat in a red leather jacket because I was ashamed to show my arms. And that was when I was 105 pounds! This tour, I’ve had the confidence to show my arms at every single concert. It may seem like a small thing, but for me, that’s huge.”

*Appreciate your body. Buy some clothes to show it off. Listen to Demi for motivation. Buy her book – Staying Strong 365 Days a Year, and see how it compares to 365DOLF.

You deserve to be safe if you lose your job and free of bad debt. The next time you’re tempted to spend, ask yourself: Do you deserve this $25 dinner, or do you deserve more?

*Are you throwing your money away or keeping it? It’s not every day that you’ll be told to be like Don King, but today is the day to keep your money – you deserve it.

“As the action of Scientology, when you are picking apart the chronology of your life and its effects upon you, it really helps to have that lucidity.”

“It’s almost just selfish on my part. I want to be able to remember everything. I want to be smart.”

“I want to consider that I’m always just driving toward my best self.”

*Make sure that the religion that you choose has you driving toward your best self.

After her mother died when Chanel was 12, her father put her in an orphanage. The nuns there taught her to sew, and the stark black and white of their habits began to inform her design aesthetic.

ENTERTAINMENT

Matthew Perry 1969 – watch The Ron Clark Story

“I had to be dragged into kindergarten. It was hard to sit and listen to somebody talk. I wanted to be out, educated by experience and adventure, and I didn’t know how to express that.”

*Educate yourself by experience and adventure today. Think of watching Ordinary People – the Oscar winning movie, directed by Redford – especially if you’re dealing with loss.

BODY

Bob Harper 1965

Harper probably survived sudden cardiac arrest because of his excellent physical fitness and the immediate medical attention.

However, the fact that he was in such terrific shape also made having a heart attack at 51 that much more stunning.

“TM, yoga, and my dogs really help me with managing my stress,”

“I tell people you have to find whatever it is in your life that you can do to turn off the white noise, just for a few minutes. If it means sitting with your phone off for five or ten minutes and not having to focus on anyone or anything— those things are so good for you. It helps your brain, it helps your body.”

*If you haven’t yet, get a heart checkup today. Would you survive cardiac arrest? Help your brain and body by shutting off the white noise for a few minutes today. Try TM, yoga, and spending time with your dogs – and shut off that phone for 5 minutes today.
