"[[Queen Elizabeth]] was as tough as they get. But you don’t make it that long without listening to your body, without taking care of yourself. **She relied on sustainable practices, not shortcuts**. As she advised a young wife of a diplomat who ached after the long days of standing without break, “One must plant their feet like this. Always keep them parallel. Make sure your weight is evenly distributed. That’s all there is to it.”" --- **Tags** -- [[quotes]], [[long-term-thinking]], [[sustainability]], [[discipline]], [[mindfulness]], [[self-reflection]], [[exercise]], **Source** -- [[202409150124 - B - Discipline is Destiny]]
