Just like we get overdrawn with too much spending (remember your 20's!?) we can push ourselves into negative health with too many 'withdrawals' made up of wrong choices.
Hard to dig out of debt, and easier to save when in credit isn't it?
We are, after all, the sum of our past actions.
Just like our past transactions can hamper us if invested wrong, so can a
multitude of wrong choices, or a case of the 'I'll sort that later' or burying your head in the sand.
Try looking at every healthy choice you make as an investment in YOUR HEALTH.
Those little habits should be like looking after the pennies, to ensure your have the
£'s!
The price can feel high sometimes. We get that.
Lots of effort for a gym session seems like a low return UNLESS you do the work on your understanding to ensure you are acutely aware of each tiny benefit you gain from it.
When coaching folks along this journey we put a large emphasis on the little increments of improvements.
Expecting a quick change from a position that has years to manifest is not realistic.
Maintenance is also a massive success.
I've had people say to me that they feel that they haven't made progress yet they are still wearing the same clothes from 15 years ago. That is an awesome achievement and they stop short with a big smile when they realise this :-D
Save £1 a
day and that is £10, 950 in 30 years.
Equate that to 'health' terms and this would be priceless, albeit harder to measure!
Every 100m further you park away from the store, every sugary snack you avoid and every squat you do gives your body a positive return with an excellent return on
investment.
Start small and build 'health' savings that will help you THRIVE into your later years!
Little by little, one step at a time and, most importantly, enjoy the journey...
