Last night Matthew Hernandez, NMD and I played Pickleball for the first time. We were invited to play by some of our entrepreneur friends. I would not consider myself an athletic person. I work to be fit and healthy, but sports have never been my thing. Honestly, I’ve been wanting to learn Pickleball for a while, but I felt intimidated playing with people who know what they are doing. Turns out, I had a great time learning to play and can’t wait to go back. It was great exercise, while getting to enjoy time with great people. What more could I want? I learned a few things as well: 1. The story I tell myself about not being athletic sometimes makes me slow to try new things I might really enjoy. 2. I don’t have to be great at something to enjoy it. I think this is the key with getting more activity in, finding something you genuinely enjoy doing that gets you moving. Often this means trying something you’ve never done before. 3. Work to not take everything so seriously. Some things are just meant to be exercise and good fun. 4. Being “not good” at something is just challenging your brain and body to learn something new. Embrace it. I don’t plan on being sporty any time soon, but I do plan on hitting the Pickleball court again. #longevity #movementismedicine
