ARE YOU INVESTING IN EVERY ASPECT OF YOU……Part 1

Do you have a positive or negative investment attitude? I’ve encountered so many (including myself at times) that limit themselves in one area that sometimes needs the biggest investment. Let me explain….I view life as consisting of multiple areas that all must grow with one another in order for you to be the best version of you possible…in order for you to fulfill your potential…..in order for you to feel great, accomplished, and consistently have a sense of growth! But we are sometimes “cheap” with the things that need help the most….
 
KEY AREAS:
Physical Body & Nutrition
Personal Development
Relationships
Career
You see… some of us put a ton of focus or effort into 1 or 2 of these leaving the others to lag behind…..The reality is unless you’re investing in ALL, the others will start to fall….

Physical Body & Nutrition:

 

Positive Investing: some people will do whatever it takes to stay in shape, live a healthy lifestyle, and spend the majority of their money on health knowing that it will improve all other aspects. These people are ok with feeling great 90% of the time at the expense of not spending $ elsewhere that really doesn’t serve them or make them FEEL optimal. When times are rough they will still buy high quality food and cut back on spending elsewhere because they know high quality food and exercise are huge pillars of basic human necessities. They know that investing at all costs in this area leads to better thinking, better feeling, and ultimately will drive clarity to accomplish more. When it comes to health they commonly say things like “There’s no price on my health. This will benefit me and everyone around me. I can”


Cheap Investing: some people rather spend on materialistic things before realizing they are not spending on their health. They tend to view food as the last thing that needs $ allocation. A lot of $ is spent “covering” up the health and nutrition issues. Cars, nail polish, partying, starbucks, jewelry, fancy clothes etc are all purchased to “feel good” at the expense of true INTERNAL health, wealth, and happiness all while they continue to live off poor quality processed cheap foods instead of investing the best. When it comes to health they commonly say things like “That’s too expensive. I can’t afford that.”

 

Don’t get me wrong….you can have a balance of great health and materialistic items but which way are most tilting towards? I’d say the latter. I like to view things in life as a circle…..the circle can become greater and greater the more you invest and grow. If you invest in things that do not serve you, your health begins to dwindle, your relationships begin to suffer, your performance at work and creativity take a nose dive, and everything suffers…..It’s a compounding effect. Whereas if you invest now (and maybe that means some short term sacrifice) your health and mindset improve, your happiness drives your relationships, your brain capacity and production at work increase from having more energy and clarity, and everything begins to rise!


Which path are you on? The good news is there is always an opportunity to change direction! Invest wisely. If you're thinking "easy for you to say" stay tuned for part 2! I'll share some stories of being in situations faced with some interesting choices....

 

P.S.~ I have been speaking with many people in the last couple weeks who are going through struggles, times of uncertainty and a feeling of sort of being lost. We will be launching a life changing weekend event soon geared towards resetting your whole life, breaking down the walls of struggle, and getting back on a path towards being fulfilled!
