Schedule troubles
I was teaching a group on the Path program a couple of nights ago. One of the participants, who is really doing well, nevertheless has a wicked schedule.
She’s always moving from one asdpect of her job to another, with only a 10 minute break — where she can actually sit down and eat — throughout the day.
Again, she’s doing great, but is having trouble eating well because of her crazy work schedule. She either has to eat on her feet, or eat too fast!
When I talk about our culture of health, whose “Class-5 Rapids” current swooshes us away from health, this is a prime example.
I believe we don’t have to live this way … To be this way … As a culture.
What would it be like if we had employers who allowed a schedule in which these folks could just sit for a second. Breathe. And avoid the harried consumption that leads to weight and health problems?
That would be an environment that favored optimal health — and how would our teachers like that?? Our nurses?? From one end to the other, this single change would facilitate a vast improvement in our culture of health.
