The road to riches is an admirable goal that many wish to achieve, but health is the ultimate wealth.
There is no better wealth to have than your personal health. Becoming a healthier person will actually propel you on your journey to riches.
Unfortunately, tons of entrepreneurs live a sedentary lifestyle. This lifestyle has a negative affect on your mind and body. Fortunately, they have the ability to change this.
Your health is one of the only things in life that you can almost totally control. Taking your health seriously is a must, and it will drastically improve your overall well-being.
Let’s discover three incredible reasons to seek wellness.
Build Self-Confidence
Believing in yourself is absolutely essential when you’re on a mission. If you don’t truly believe in yourself, no one will.
With that being said, many people lack confidence and struggle with self-esteem issues. Exercising and eating healthy will help you build self-confidence and defeat those crippling negative feelings.
Your mind and body are directly connected, so its important to eat healthy foods to provide your body with amazing fuel to exercise.
Consistent exercise leads to an improved body image and lowers your risk for disease. If you look good and feel good, you will have a lot more confidence in yourself to attack your other goals.
Exercising has so many psychological benefits, so if you haven’t already started I recommend that you do.
Obtain More Energy
In this discussion from The BODY Movement, the crew discusses how your energy is one of the most important parts of your success. Every day isn't going to be your best day, but if you can get some type of exercise in then you are ultimately going to feel more energetic.
If you have no energy, how can you expect to attack your tedious to-do list?
You're not always going to feel like working out and you're definitely going to have some down days, but if you can create good habits you will see results from the consistency.
They created 5 principles for beginners that will help them to create solid training habits.
They are:
- Make a Plan
- Something is Better Than Nothing
- Aim Small, Miss Small
- Slow Cook The Process
- Keep it Simple Stupid
The BODY Movement crew also explains the importance of sticking to the fundamentals for overall well-being.
"Sticking to the fundamentals consistently will outperform the trendy/complicated program every day of the week because the odds you actually do it right are significantly higher."
The fundamentals are not only for beginners. They are important to everyone and anyone who does physical activity every day. They will help you become pain-free along with improving your overall health.
Fasting
Another reason for the lack of energy is people eating toxic foods which cloud their thinking and affects their gut health. Then they drink a ridiculous amount of caffeine just to get through the day.
If this is you, you need to look into changing your eating habits.
The body needs clean and sustainable energy, so it is vital that you are eating properly. Eating clean will dramatically improve your overall energy.
Here is a list of energy boosting foods.
Some people even recommend that you don’t need to eat everyday. Fasting has gained more recognition recently and it is changing lives.
Alex Clewlow talks about how fasting and exercise has increased his energy levels and totally changed his life. He also speaks on which foods to avoid in his blog, Forever Alpha. I definitely recommend checking it out!
Prior to fasting, Alex felt bloated and tired, but now he feels energized and fit! Like I mentioned previously, check out his stuff if you want to learn how to transform.
Improve Mental Health
Mental health is an extremely important topic that is gaining more and more recognition. As a man, it is especially important to take care of your mental health considering most people don't care about your problems.
Harsh? Yes, but it is true. Make sure you put your happiness first. If you are struggling with it, exercising may be able to help improve your physique, along with your mental well-being.
Exercising has many outstanding benefits for one’s mental health.
The article, Exercise for Mental Health shows that exercising leads to improvement in mood, reduced tiredness, and major stress relief.
"Aerobic exercises, including jogging, swimming, cycling, walking, gardening, and dancing, have been proved to reduce anxiety and depression." - Exercise for Mental Health
"These improvements in mood are proposed to be caused by exercise-induced increase in blood circulation to the brain and by an influence on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and, thus, on the physiologic reactivity to stress." - Exercise for Mental Health
Now who doesn’t want that?
Even famous businessman Gary V knows that taking your health seriously is a major key when it comes to entrepreneurship.
Health is Wealth
Wealth is the goal, but you shouldn’t be leaving your health in the rearview.
Take your health seriously, and it will assist you on your travels to becoming wealthy.
