How important do you think it is to look after your health? There is a simple yet very profound quotation from the philosopher Virgil that states "The greatest wealth is health" The challenge with most people is that they only appreciate how important their health really is when they encounter any challenges relating to their health or their health fails them.
Make a different Choice about your Health TODAY
Do not wait until it is too late and you have neglected your health so badly that you are lying in hospital recovering from a triple heart by-pass operation, before you wake up and start to take care of your health. It takes a healthy body to provide you with energy and drive. Only a healthy body can provide an effective vehicle to carry all your ideas and help you achieve the success you want. No matter how willing your mind may be to succeed. You will achieve nothing without a healthy body, which gives you the energy you need and the capacity to operate optimally.
Technological Advances and Super-Sized Meals are Compounding Things
The technological advances over the past few decades have become one of the greatest threats to our health. The new efficiencies these new technologies have brought with them have made us far more sedentary than ever before. There is also an abundance of food, which is easily accessible and available everywhere. Meals are all super-sized and filled with far too many calories and unhealthy fats.
Our Bodies need Exercise
Our lifestyles have become completely sedentary, our meals have become really easy to obtain and we sit for hours staring at computers at work, only to drag ourselves home at the end of the day to sit for a few more hours in front of the television. It has become really easy to become unhealthy and overweight. Exercise is a distant memory.
How are you Fuelling your Body - is it the Vehicle your Need to Succeed?
An unhealthy body is most certainly not the best vehicle to become a super achiever. You do not have the energy necessary to carry out your crucial daily activities and your brain is not fuelled like it needs to be.
People Judge you
As you know success is achieved through connection, influence and building rapport with other people. I know that people should not judge you. Well here is a clue - They always do. How you show up in life speaks volumes about who you are, how you are and what you are capable of bringing into any relationship. When you show up overweight, out of shape and breathless at a meeting, because you had to walk a short distance to reach the place where you are due to meet. People will automatically doubt your ability to deliver in other unrelated areas. They will look at you and even if you are offering a great product or service, they will bundle you and the way you showed up into the mix. Your unhealthy appearance will most certainly affect the way people see you and what you have to offer.
Your Appearance Speaks Volumes about you
How you show up on the outside speaks volumes about you and your ability to perform and how you operate on the inside. The way you look on the outside is an advertisement for your attitude, philosophy, values, beliefs and overall personal development. All your habits, behaviours, choices and disciplines are visible through your appearance.
Action Idea: Now that you have this awareness that your body is your personal billboard and that it reflects so much about you. Have the courage to take a look at how you are showing up.Are you projecting the type of image you want people to see?
Are you satisfied with the message you are conveying to everyone around you?
Does your current appearance reflect what you wantHow can you expect to attract committed, disciplined, dedicated, consistent and persistent people into your world, if you are projecting a completely different image to everyone around you? We attract people, circumstances and opportunities into our lives that are aligned with who and what we are. You attract success as a result of the person you are. Your physical appearance is how you demonstrate all these characteristics in yourself to everyone around you.
Take your Health Seriously
It is time to start taking your physical fitness and health seriously. When you make this commitment, you are not only giving yourself the gift of more energy and a more capable mind. You are also sending out a far more enticing message to the world about who you are. Throw in the added benefits of looking younger, living longer and feeling better and this whole concept of investing into your health and fitness seems to be a no-brainer.
Make the commitment today to start investing in your health and fitness. Right now is the time to make a better decision about your health and to make a conscious effort to break this cycle of self-destruction. Get back onto the path of health and fitness; you deserve all the benefits it will bring. The cost of this small daily discipline will cost almost nothing. The price of continuing along the path of neglect is massive. Are you willing to risk so much and lose out on so many fantastic benefits. Simply because you won't find the time to exercise and you won't change your diet to make more healthy food choices.
