What is the role of health in terms of when we are building our businesses.
While we keep ourselves financially very sound, we end up taking our health only as an afterthought. Also, one thinks that health has no direct relation to what you do in your business.
At 36 years people have starting operating as 70 years old. There has to be somewhere a moment of self-realisation where you see yourself quite uninspiring to your kids, to your clients and family.
The social narrative is that we don’t acknowledge someone who is fitter and healthier but we acknowledge someone who is successful. We see ourselves as what we have and not really as who we are! The day you realise importance of good health, you will start prioritising everything else but your health.
Secondly, food has always been our comfort across the globe! With increased accessibility to food, the people have starting eating more than they should. Not just because they need that much, but also because it gives us the emotional comfort.
We see immediate future and lack long term vision.
There is this beautiful concept called Body talk. We never think of seeing ourselves in the mirror and talk to ourselves. When you start talking to yourself and your body, your body starts talking back to you. In that case when you eat something, you will come to know how you feel when you have eaten that. So now when your body tells that to you, you realise that oh, I shouldn’t have eaten that.
Our body movement plays an equal important role. We have to also realise that our body loves being soar. When it gets soar, it gets stronger.
Another takeaway is to learn to suspend the timeline. Don’t expect immediate results. So it may take its time, it at times can end up being frustrating too. If I abused my body for 36 years, I will have to agree to give it atleast 36 months to know how to love it back.
