Fit for Life: Life Is Waiting for You, What Are You Waiting for?

Fit for Life: Life Is Waiting for You, What Are You Waiting for?

There was a vacation ad on a billboard the other day, and it resonated with me because the last time I was on vacation, I was thinking the same thing. I was thinking that I don’t want to wait to retire to start living and enjoying life more.

Many people put off living a quality life because they are always waiting for the right opportunity, and a time when it is convenient for them.

One of the best and easiest ways to improve your quality of life is to start taking better care of yourself by eating properly and exercising regularly.

But many are guilty of putting this off for numerous reasons.

I’ll start working out and taking care of myself when my schedule frees up. Or I can’t afford it right now.

Let me give you some advice. The timing will NEVER be 100% convenient.

There will always be something that SEEMS more important, but the truth of the matter is that nothing is more important than taking care of yourself.  

 

You just need to make it a priority and invest the time and energy to do so.

I hear about people saving money and preparing to get sick in the future, so why not make the same effort to avoid sickness?

Why would you invest in yourself while you are young, and get healthy so you can enjoy life now?

TV commercials tell you to take a pill before you eat garbage, so you avoid acid reflux.

How about avoiding bad food and not worrying about acid reflux?

 

I work out and eat healthy for numerous reasons.

To feel good, keep my immune system strong so I don’t get sick, to look good, and to have the energy it takes to get through the day.

I am self-employed, so staying strong and not getting sick is imperative to my financial success. I need to be strong enough to handle the demands of running a business, and I can’t get sick, because business owners don’t get compensated for being sick.

Another reason I take good care of myself is so that when I am older, I can stay self-sufficient and avoid the medical system because it’s not a fun place to get stuck.

Years ago, I overcame an infection from a small scratch I received while exercising outside. It wouldn’t heal on its own, so I had to visit an urgent care facility. That wasn’t enough, so I had to visit the er for an IV antibiotic, and let me tell you, it is not a place I recommend visiting.

 

It’s a place full of bad vibes, long waits, and dirty facilities, and the aura of sickness brings you down even more.

Everyone is sick and unhappy.

I love my grandmother, but walking through the halls to get to her room is depressing. Seeing all the sickness and deterioration is not a fun existence or something I want to experience.

Taking care of your health is easier than you may think. I have a simple outline that I suggest you follow.

Eat clean, nonprocessed food, exercise 30 minutes daily, stay hydrated, and get some quality sleep.

It’s an easy formula to follow, and it’s even easier when you belong to the coaching and accountability program we have developed here at Providence Fit Body Boot Camp.

In addition to improving your health and fitness, it’s imperative we make the effort to relax and enjoy life too. We work hard to improve our health and finances, therefore, it’s important we enjoy the fruits of our labor.

 

Committed to your success,

Coach Matt
