4 minutes

Again, Seth Godin is a genius!

I was reading a back post and came across a sentance (regarding an entirely different subject) that so applies to weight control, eating, and everything else in life, I can't make the font big enough. 

If it's important enough to spend an hour complaining about, it's certainly important enough to spend four minutes to just do it in the first place.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4 minutes -- 4 minutes of attention can save to hours and hours of stress, grief, guilt, doctor visits, trips to the pharmacy to pick up for blood pressure or diabetes meds.  4 minutes of attention might be all it takes for you to realize how good you feel when you are tuned into what your body is telling you.  4 minutes of conscious attention might start you on a path to a more consciously engaged relationship with yourself, your spouse, your kids, your best friend.............

Next time you start to complain (to youself or someone else) about your weight, recognize how much time you are willing to devote to the subject.  Could that time be better spent?
