Physical Intelligence - Day 77
Right now edible irrationality is my chief weakness, that inability to accept the blessing of saying "NO". The item in the the dock that I am cross-examining today is my consumption of sausages. This is just one food item but it packs a punch because this sausage is not home-made but laced with everything a food scientist could possibly think to create that can be legally thrown into our own lug-holes.
The movie "How to get ahead in advertising" makes an excellent observation as it joked about selling the British sausage and referring to it as the "Heart-attack"
I say this because my breakfast this morning was all the left-over sausages and even after the left-overs were accessed there are still left-overs. So I am figuring that by writing this buzz, I may well get to a point where I will open the fridge, lick my lips and then the left side of my brain will shut down on what the right side of my brain is contemplating. Just the picture above shows me the sausage I can become if I do not avail myself to the common sense I am now depositing here - knowing full well that unless I do, that resistance will indeed continue to be futile. Since the whole point of this 90 day log is for me to get more physically intelligent, then it is worth my time going over this.
Last year the goal was not to become more physically intelligent but only to lose enough weight so my daughter got her wish by the time her wedding arrived at the end of those 90 days. This year it is a totally different motive and clearly there is some progress, but still a whole lot of transformation to engage before I can call my way of being to be physically intelligent. Even then I may be doing things that are not physically intelligent because I may be ignorant of a few choice facts - but at least through this journey I have a greater possibility of seeing those facts, as well as recognize when I have been irrational in my food choice - allowing my taste buds and stomach to dictate what my brain and intuition feel. For sure left-brain thinking is way more boring than right brain creativity but at some point it is good for me to use my "whole brain".

Yes I do like the idea of applying conservative risk. The irony today is that our family meal is a meaty barbecue. Whoever said that if you push an idea into the universe, it comes back to you may be onto something. The video above says that potato crisps are the second worst thing after processed meats - and here I was in the back garden with the family watching processed meat burgers on the barbeque and my family passing around a large plate of potato crisps. I find it quite ironic especially in the context of my buzz today. The synchronicity here is at least interesting for me to contemplate, if not ironic.

There is a category for classifying knowing, but acting differently - it is called risk taking, but I write this to underscore the nature of risk I have entertained here - and this morning I chose superficial risk. Risk is how human beings left the cave and created the urban and incredibly networked world we live in - but the lesson today in terms of physical intelligence is a self-reminder about appropriate risk. There is reckless risk which I don't engage in (like extreme sports) and then there is conservative risk, which is what most entrepreneurs actually engage - so the lesson of the sausage is also a lesson in reminding myself that our attitude to risk, then flows into other areas of our life where risk can be usefully applied.
