It’s unbelievable that an entire decade just ended. I think we can all agree that the life that happened during the last 10 years shows on us… either good or bad. Two areas that are most apparent for all of us are health and wealth. You’ve improved or digressed. Both are the result of your life choices for the most part.
I had an interesting conversation over the break about the commonality between wealth and health. The term this friend used was WELLTH. I love this! My dad, in fact, has often used this same logic by stating that success is running out of time (health) and money at the same time. The bottom line, is that you need health in order to enjoy your wealth - financial, relational, passions, etc. One without the other will not take us where we want to go.
Most people that build wealth do it with small deposits over a long period of time. Health works the same way. As with the stock market, you win some and you lose some, but it’s the consistency and commitment that determine your outcome. Personally, health has always been important to me, but as I’m sure we’ve all experienced, I don’t love the healthier choices all the time. I don’t love the sacrificial small deposits all the time. Sometimes I just have to take a break from self control. Coming off of Christmas break, I am ready to get back into a routine, and am pretty aware of the body changes associated with the break. It shows up as extra pounds, exhaustion, depression, new unhealthy habits, etc. It’s time to stop celebrating with cake and casseroles… January is here!
If you’re ready to get yourself back and start the next decade off right, I’d love to invite you to join the PHIT Challenge! This Challenge is meant to kick off 2020 with a healthier you and challenge you to start, finish and live as a better version of yourself during this next decade. Wherever you are on the health spectrum you can find ways to improve your fitness, food, sleep, positivity, etc., all of which will create a healthier lifestyle! The benefit of this Challenge is that each week is a baby step/small deposit that you can master before you move into the next week and the next baby step/challenge. At the end of the 8 weeks, you should start to feel amazing and be able to maintain these small steps over the long term. Can you imagine what that might look like on you in 2030?!
The picture above is a hint to the 1st challenge. If you want to get ahead of the challenge and order now, you can find this BuildLife Motivational Gallon water bottle on Amazon… I love mine! Any water bottle will do, of course…
Cheers - with water - to 2020! Ha!
