<p>We have 2,564,370,576 [How many do you need?]</p> <p><br> <br> We're on a mission to help one million people RISE by 2030 - join the movement at <a href="http://www.myrise.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.myrise.co.uk</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>I had a slightly morbid thought the other day.</p> <p>I wondered if I’d passed the half way point of an average life expectancy.</p> <p>So I googled it.</p> <p>I have.</p> <p>October 5th last year it seems.</p> <p>When I reached the half way point of the current UK average life expectancy of 81.26.</p> <p>I thought I’d see how many minutes that turned out to be.</p> <p>You’ve probably gathered from the title of the blog that it’s about 2.5 billion.</p> <p>Quite a lot isn’t it?</p> <p>Puts the odd one here and there into context doesn’t it?</p> <p>That extra minute or two that it might take to make a “better” food choice.</p> <p>If that – we could just have a smaller portion which takes less time.</p> <p>Or the 5 to 45 minutes a few times a week to exercise.</p> <p>Once we stop kidding ourselves that “there’s no point exercising for 5 minutes.</p> <p>Because that’s what we often really mean.</p> <p>When we don’t feel we can justify the time to do the perfect version………..</p> <p>We don’t even do the “good enough” version that takes much less time.</p> <p>But, by doing that quicker version…………</p> <p>We build momentum.</p> <p>It stops being that “I’ve stopped and need to start again” conversation in our heads.</p> <p>And becomes more of a “slow down and speed up as circumstance dictates” one.</p> <p>Depending on our age, most people reading this will have between a quarter of a billion and two billion minutes left.</p> <p>More than enough to move in the direction we want 🙂</p> <p>And, all else being equal, probably add a load more minutes on the other end.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Much love,</p> <p>Jon ‘Joe P Guinn’ Hall</p> <p>P.S. No one is getting that middle name, so I’ll tell you. According to google, 2564370576 is the secondary phone number of Joe P Guinn in Hollywoo
