Hope you are enjoying the fall season in Illinois- fall us well under way in Massachusets and is just shy of peak. It's definitely my favorite time of year- chilly mornings and evenings, warm afternoons. The scent of fallen leaves and decaying foliage permeates the air in the best possible way. Enjoying "sweata weatha" crisp apples, hearty soups and stews- life is GOOD. 😊😊😊

Love this Mark- this was so insightful, practical, joyful, and Awesome. thank you for sharing what your day and routine are like. I am impressed with your knowledge of nutrition ie vitamins, food, sleep, exercise. No wonder you have so much boundless energy and vitality!! Your advice with healthy living could benefit anyone- sounds like you really have it "locked" down! But I also suspect that you are curious and on the look out for improving on what you have already established. I also have a similar mindset when it comes to nutrition and healthy lifestyle- I also am a fan of taking the stairs whenever possible. I work on the 6th floor of my building, and I huff and puff and sometime swear under my breath, b/c I'm carrying a heavy backpack and whatever else I need to get through my day. People at work have nick named me the Sherpa lady or pack mule!! LOL. What I say to myself to keep motivated to take the stairs is that as long as my legs work, I can climb the stairs- no need for the elevator. The day my legs quit working is the day I can rely on the elevator!! Keep up the good work and good living my friend- you are an inspiration and joy not only to me, but many. As always, keep it sexy 🙂

Preach brother!! Yesssss- sooo true- so much wisdom in your advice- thank you for being so transparent and real Mark- you are a true inspiration. Attitude is everything. We will experience things and circumstances that suck, sometimes through no fault of our own, sometimes as a result of the choices we make. Initial feelings of anger and upset are completely normal and part of what helps us to survive as humans- heck, even Jesus himself got angry at hypocrisy and flipped over a few tables :-) What you shared is so important- and I'll add to not beat yourself up for initially feeling upset over sh*tty circumstances or events- but its essential to pivot from that and take a step back, look at the big picture, cool down, and take an objective look at things. And there are times when even after all that, there is no good excuse or reason for what has hurt you. Hopefully those situations are far and few, but that is where the gift of forgiveness can go a long way. In many instances , the forgiveness is not merited, but for the sake of your own emotional well being, is necessary, because bitterness of the emotions and soul is a destroyer. There is nothing more valuable in life than inner peace. And that my friend, is how we keep it sexy 😁
@markehlert979 Ай бұрын
@@denisegrant5150 and I truly could not have said it better! Sometimes I want to shoot the video so I can incorporate some of your comments into the content! Because yes, especially that even when you feel it's not warranted or merited, it is best to forgive so you can have that internal peace and not have to deal with this struggle that was already unnecessarily and unfairly subjected to you. and yeah, we are entitled to our emotions, for self preservation, but it's not good to sit with them. It's best to step into that rational thinking. Because that's where the sex appeal comes in! Keeping it sexy and being rational! and right? Even Jesus had his emotions, but that's why he preached forgiveness; knowing how beneficial it can be for our internal soul! God bless you friend! Keep it sexy, and keep watching; I'll keep publishing!
