What a great reminder! Thanks Walt. My daily non negotiables include meditation and journaling. Without them, I don’t feel as calm and connected.
Morning pages, journaling, running and daily meditation…. non-negotiables…. and when I miss any of them, I am completely off center. Thank you for the note. Grateful for you, Tara.
Non-negotiable – Annual winter trip to ski back country in the Adirondacks. Essential for mental health. Thanks for all you do, Walt.
Well I would say that’s non-negotiable! No place like the Daks in the winter. Thank you for your note, Karen. Grateful for you.
Non-negotiable: Walking the dog (and other things) before the coffee gets brewed. Thanks Walt!
Not necessarily in that order!
Hi Walt
Thanks for all you give
My non negotiable is runnng
Lying here in bed on a sat morning feeling guilty .
Not getting any easier……
Stay well Walt
Thank you Kevin. Running is one of my non-negotiables… and luckily Ann and I have one another to prod the other… because on these late fall and winter mornings one would definitely tend to negotiate!! Be well….
My Ashtanga yoga practice — 3-4 times per week, before work, after dropping off my daughter, no matter what — no matter how busy I am. I used to think sometimes I was too busy doing important things at work to make it to yoga; now I think I am too busy NOT to have a consistent yoga practice. Thank you Walt for reminding me how important this is!
Love this Margaret… when we stay at the practices long enough, they do become a part of our lives… and truly non-negotiable.
This helps me realize that I have too many “almost non-negotiables”. I’m pretty consistent with my CrossFit class, my morning meditation, eating healthy… but I haven’t yet developed the discipline to ramp these up to “non-negotiable”. Hmm… time to reset the button.
It’s always a work in process dear Fran.
Hi Walt,
Short, but powerful. Thank you for taking the time to speak to us.
Morning readings and talking to God. If I don’t do this, I get farther and farther off purpose and forget to love others. And then what’s the point to anything? (Not that it’s easy or consistent.)

Yes, just a few powerful practices (disciplines) keep us grounded, centered and on track. A simple principle… but definitely not easy.
