Healthy BS
One of the most challenging obstacles to overcome with new clients is their level of BS, and by 'bs,' I mean it in the Tony Robbins way; as in our Beliefs Systems and let me tell you- there are a lot.
Big belief systems, small belief systems, thin ones, husky ones, boisterous ones, quiet ones, but amongst the various institution's, two common building materials are consistent: procrastination planks, and the excuse nails. Of course you need more nails than you do planks, and as with each distraction of procrastination, another nail is driven into a house of excuses. Now, in no way am I throwing stones, living in a glass house of my own, however let's consider health from a financial perspective (like you didn't see that coming).
Throughout history, there have been illnesses that affect the wealthy more than the poor e.g. gout, diabetes, obesity, and diseases that affect the poor more than the wealthy, e.g. malnourishment leading to tooth decay, malformation of bones, osteoporosis, and alopecia. While modern technology reduces risk of opportunistic infections leading to early mortality, and access to more food increase in our western society, why is it that the cost of healthcare, medication, and organic food are also increasing?
Why are inflammatory diseases and inflation among the leading causes of disagreements, divorce, and death when both can be avoided - all of which are easier said than done. I once heard the saying that if you erased the debt, even as a form of disease, the money would lead back into the same hands of those who had it before. So, what is your budget like?
Can you afford the way you think about your health? Suffice to say that most would skim some off of the top when it comes to our health, but not when it comes to our money, so if you had to actually budget your health, and you itemized or separated health and wealth, would you have greater cash flow in, or more money going out based on the way you have your accounts set up?
Cash flow in - more energy and money at the end of the day, week, month, and year. Is this you?
Cash flow out- more year, month, week or day at the end of your energy and money?
Kind of makes you re-evaluate your assets, liabilities, profits, losses, savings, and investment plan... at least I aim to do. If you don't have a target, or aim at nothing, you hit everything but your goal.
Cheers to being your biggest asset.
