Neglecting Health
So many people think that increasing their income would make everything better. They think of all the problems they have and how it could all be solved with just a little more extra money. Paying all your credit card debts, buying a new car, working less and having more time with the family are all great advantages. Money and passion can very well go together, but it should not be your priority.
Think about your situation right now, or think about your future, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Is it your job, is it your family and friends, is it money, is it all the great things you can do, are you thinking about having fun? Don’t get me wrong, all of these can be great answers, but no matter how you put it, your health should be included in any plan you have.
How can you expect to get a better job if you aren’t healthy, how can you expect to travel to great destinations if you aren’t in good shape, how can you expect to play with your kids if you can’t keep up with them, how can you expect to spend all the millions of dollars you dream about if you don’t have the energy to be active.
The fact is, a large percentage of the people who are healthy take it for granted. They are healthy now, and therefore don’t see any problems and pass on to ‘more important things’. Your health and your body needs constant attention and is the last thing you want to neglect. And do you know what is the best in all this, it does not take that much effort! You don’t need to deprive yourself of all the good food there is, nor do you need to exercise 2 hours everyday. You don’t need to become a vegetarian either.
What you need to do is become conscious of your body and include at least something every week for it. Ask yourself when was the last time you exercised? Can you try to go and make an exercise session of 20 minutes, 3 times a week? When people hear this, right away they think of how exhausted they will be, and to think they have to do this 3 times a week is overwhelming! Do you realize that 20 minutes, 3 times a week is just ONE hour a week! People who have full time jobs work 40 hours a week; you can just add ONE hour extra every week, and you would have easily inserted a good exercise routine in your life.
