In a Healthy Body, a Healthy Mind – Through Reason to Health!

 

Welcome to DailyInspire – the daily voice of reason in your mind.

 

 

“Health is not everything, but without health, everything is nothing.” – Arthur Schopenhauer

 

 

It is already the third day of my challenge, and only 1824 days remain. Not that much when considering the goals I have set for myself. The goals are outlined in my first blog from 01.01.2025 – and right there lies the most important daily goal: Becoming 1% better each day in one of the HMF areas – Health, Motivation, and Foundations of our lives.

In my method, supported by this blog under the resonant name DailyInspire, I optimize, improve, develop, repair, or analyze one of the HMF components.

The blogs are therefore divided into three categories and appear in a hierarchical sequence.

 

Remember: Simplicity is Strength!

 

Therefore, the HMF method is based on this principle and introduces a simple, weekly action plan that aligns with the goals in our notebook.

 

DailyInspire Action Plan:

 

• 1. 1% better in one area – Priority! Then move directly to the next task.
• 2. Short-term goals 1 and 2:
  • Daily training as a new habit
  • Weigh exactly 97 kg on 01.03.2025

 

This allows me to precisely structure my daily plan and determine which of the HMF components will be the most crucial in the short term.

Yes – it will be health! Since both goals are interconnected, it will be even easier to accomplish them – the thought of one supports the other and vice versa.

 

• 3. Medium-term, long-term, and main goals:

• Medium: I completed the online store www.M......D.....ch on 01.04.2025.
• Long: I earn 10,000 CHF in February 2026.
• Main: In 2030, I take a one-year sabbatical – traveling the world with my family!

 

Let's establish this plan until 01.03.2025!

 

It is time to develop a structured path to my goal of 97 kg.

 

Yes, I know it is a lot, but better than 117 kg – unless I am planning a career as a sumo wrestler or a buffer for container ships.

I will strive to make training a habit (about habits – the foundation of HMF and all of DailyInspire – much more will be covered during this five-year journey), allowing me to maintain my desired weight and eventually convert excess fat into muscle.

 

No, I do not want to be a bodybuilder or a strongman – I just want to have a healthy body so that in old age, after possibly slipping on a banana peel, I do not suddenly find myself at heaven's gates (what a tragicomic reason to end life...).

 

Here is my action plan for the coming weeks and priorities:

 

• Monday – Health
• Tuesday – Reflection Day – simple tasks, thoughts, calmness – relaxed posts and considerations
• Wednesday – Blog and tasks focusing on Motivation
• Thursday – Now it gets serious – the foundation! Faith, family, finances, and other cornerstones of our lives
• Friday – Health
• Saturday – Health
• Sunday – Weekly review – different from the reflection day, as this is a mix of everything, a shake of all HMF components

 

I will stick to this for the next period, and over the years, these plans will evolve, based on the completed tasks, my experiences, and the development of the HMF method.

 

Most likely, it will be just like in real life – reality will show, and what looks good on paper, designed as a precise machine by an engineer, may turn out to be a rickety old car in practice.

 

Therefore, changes and adjustments are welcome – that is exactly why I am doing this.

 

This is the purpose of DailyInspire and HMF!

Since today is Monday and according to my plan, this is the Health Day (not yet an international holiday, just for me – a guinea pig in the Swiss lab of D.I.), let's begin with health and today's tasks!

 

My task list:

As you can see, my first task today consists of exercises, which will eventually disappear from this list as they become a daily habit and no longer need to be noted down, as they will naturally integrate into my daily routine.

I want to reach the state where I wake up every day at 5:00 AM and start my day with exercise.

 

Initially, these will be simple, gentle, and low-impact exercises to trick my brain in a subtle way (the amygdala – responsible for fear and threat detection, activates the hypothalamus to release adrenaline and cortisol, while the hippocampus stores the context of fear, and the prefrontal cortex helps to rationalize and control it), preventing a flight reaction – meaning discouragement.

 

Take a look at my exercise list – a bit like for a 5-year-old (not meant in a condescending way – I would love to be 5 years old again!), but now the goal is to stay physically and mentally at the level of a 40-year-old for as long as possible.

 

I have deliberately planned it this way. Why? Because I increase each exercise by 1% daily.

 

Daily.

 

This is the purpose of DailyInspire and HMF!

By applying a very simple compound interest calculation: I do 20 squats daily and increase this amount by 1% every 7 days (yes, I want to introduce 7 exercises, each of which will be improved every 7 days... I will create a script for this. Oh, there is already a task for tomorrow – write a script to improve the exercises!).

 

Calculations – Compound Interest:

 

• P = 20 × (1.01)^{260}
• 1.01^260 ≈ 12.03
• 20 × 12.03 = 241 squats

 

After 5 years, I will perform approximately 241 squats daily.

My mind is blown – I had decided to stop at 100, but through a very slow yet continuous 1% daily increase in exercises – in this case, squats – I trick my brain, prevent it from escaping, and keep myself from becoming discouraged, all while achieving a satisfying number of repetitions.

 

I will stick to this, and on Wednesday, I will write a script that will motivate me to track my exercises – to monitor progress in each category of exercises towards my goal.

 

Tomorrow is Reflection Day (Tuesday) – no major tasks, just training and thoughts.

 

Wish me luck for today!
