Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.
Benjamin Franklin quote
Is there something that you have been putting off?
Make a decision today to get it done today!
How many more things could we accomplish in life
if we did not put things off until tomorrow?
Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.
Jim Rohn Quote
In your busy life, do you take time to care for your body? Your health today and for years to come will be determined on what you do TODAY! What fuel are you giving your body? Are you exercising and stretching your muscles? Are you drinking enough water?
How you will feel 20 years from now depends on the habits you form today!
You have a choice. Make the right choice.
Exercise:
Find some type of exercise you like to do. If you have not been exercising, just make the habit of doing something for 15 minutes a day and gradually go up from there. Make a choice to exercise every day. There are so many routines you can do with or without weights. You don’t have to do an extreme workout to start making an extreme difference on your health.
Eating:
Read the labels on the foods you buy. Make the majority of what you eat come from single ingredient foods (fruits, vegetables, fish, nuts, etc). You can choose to eat just “turkey” or a product labeled turkey with 20 ingredients in it – your choice. Skip the fast food. Taking a little extra time in your own kitchen will pay off in the long run. Those of you who are parents, our kids our watching us. Give them an example of healthy eating. Never talk about going on a “diet”. A diet is temporary and usually talk about in a negative manner. Focus on changing your “eating habits” and you will be glad you did.
Learn from examples: Learn from the examples around you.
Do you want to have to depend on 15 prescriptions to keep you alive?
All of us have heard the commercials about a prescription drug and heard at least half the commercial is the warning of all the side effects.
Especially, now with the Internet you can find many examples of people in great health void of taking any medicine. Look at what they are doing and what steps you can take. Every small step in the direction of health will compound to make a huge difference.
Take responsibility for your health.
Read, study, and apply what you learn and you will look back years from now and be so glad you did.
Don’t let yourself be fooled that you are too busy to focus on health…
Remember this is the only body you have and the quality of your life in the future depends on your decisions today!
Example is not the main thing in influencing others. It is the only thing.
Albert Schweitzer Quote
Is this quote convicting or what? Think of all the great people who have influenced so many people around the world: Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi…the list could go on and on. These people lead by example. Their actions made a far greater impact than any mere words they could say. Are you being an example for your family, at your job, or those you associate with? Have you every tried to convince someone of something, but deep done you knew you were not doing it yourself. Today, take a few minutes and think of how you can be an example for others.
If I must be a slave to habit let me be a slave to good habits.
