Summary

Mark expands the Primal Blueprint Podcast by recording select Mark's Daily Apple posts for your listening pleasure!

Health, too often, is used as some relative term more descriptive of an absence of obvious ill symptoms than the kind of well-being I’m after. It smacks of problem-solving rather than growth. Vitality, on the other hand, ups the ante considerably. It suggests living from a different, more energetic, more fulfilling place.

Allow yourself to define your own vision of vitality, but commit to revisiting that vision periodically – accepting and anticipating more for yourself as you grow into the process.

(These Mark's Daily Apple articles were written by Mark Sisson, and are narrated by Brock Armstrong)

1:04.2	than the kind of well-being I'm after. It smacks of problem-solving rather than growing. Vitality, on the other hand,
1:14.0	ups the ante considerably. It suggests living from a different, more energetic, more fulfilling
1:20.8	place. To achieve it, however, requires a bigger, deeper commitment than achieving a lukewarm
1:26.9	sense of health. It has the power to
1:29.6	change us on deeper, further reaching levels. It's more challenging and less easily contained,
1:36.4	but the rewards are much more considerable. Reaching for vitality is as much about mind as it is

1:55.0	means for you and be willing to continually upgrade that definition. Vitality is, of course, a different and, I think,

2:12.0	of our years by making a healthy lifestyle our lifelong commitment. While longevity is about achieving a higher
2:19.6	age, putting the emphasis on our future, vitality fixes our focus on the here and now.
2:26.7	What would it mean to experience vitality today? In keeping with that idea, ask yourself
