How Full Is Your Wellness Account?
How Full Is Your Wellness Account?
Dear Friend,
Your fitness "bank account" acts just like your checking and savings...
Here's how:
The first couple years that I taught high school, I worked with ED/BD and At Risk students. These terms change state to state and over time but in general I was working with kids with a wide range of emotional and behavioral difficulties. And with kids who were "at risk" not to graduate.
Now, many of these students had difficulty with authority figures and following rules. On the other hand, lots of them had a great sense of humor and could be very pleasant to be around (when they chose to be).
What I always tried to teach these kids was that they needed to build an emotional bank account with their teachers, their principals and other adults in positions of authority.
In other words, I suggested they were nice, polite and friendly to these adults on the good days. That way the adults would develop a relationship with them and maybe even grow to like them. This was like depositing muney in the bank - building a positive account balance. Each time they did something good, the balance would grow a little bit.
Then, when there was a bad day (and those undoubtedly came), it would basicly mean that there was a withdrawal from that account. The balance would go down, but - as long as it didn't get too far overdrawn - they could always build it back up on the next "good" day.
I like to apply this same principle to my health and fitness (and I suggest that you should too).
Take eating for example. Think of every meal or day or week that you eat healthy as making deposits into your health account. Then if (OK, when) you eat something not so healthy, you have a high enough balance that you won't need to send yourself an overdraft notice... you can simply start making positive additions again the next time you eat.
Or exercising. Every day that you work out credits your account. If you miss a day, no big deal. Again as long as you don't miss too many days, you won't go into the red.
The beauty of this system is two fold:
1. Once you've build a large enough balance in your account, it can be motivating because you don't have to be perfect. You don't have to beat yourself up when you have a bad day. You know that your account can take a slip up now and again... as long as you start making those deposits again as soon as you can.
2. No matter how bad your situation is (or becomes), you can always start building your health and fitness account. You can make deposits any time, day or night - and as often as you like. You can build a positive balance, no matter where you're starting from.
One way to magnify the size of the deposits going into your account is to add high intensity exercise into your workouts. No pun intended, but it's the best way to get the most bang for your buck.
And speaking of bucks... how about saving yourself a few in the process. Click here for the programs that will help you make maximum deposits into your wellness account - and give you the freedom to be human (not have to be perfect but still make forward progress).

By the way, these amounts are available to you for a limited time... in fact, I'm planning on pulling the plug on this event on Sunday. If you are one of the many who have acted already - congratulations to you. If you haven't acted yet, and still want in on it, click that link today. Not tomorrow... TODAY.
What does your health account bankbook look like right now? Do something to start making healthy deposits and you'll soon be "in the black."
