*PAY YOURSELF FIRST!
Talk to any financial guru, read any books about financial freedom, talk to most wealthy people, and they will ALL share with you a 'principle' that contributed greatly to their wealth.  They always pay themselves first.  The usual number is around 10%.  They gradually build up their assests over time.

Of course, its easier said then done!

BUT, no matter what our finanancial situation, WE can APPLY this PRINCIPLE to our HEALTH!!

Truth - Every week we are either getting stronger or weaker.  It's part of life and there is no getting around it.  The stresses of life are here to stay.  We need to increase our 'Resilience', which is our ability to adapt to the every day stresses of life, whether they are physical, emotional, chemical, etc..

Truth - We are NOT told what health is, we are told what the ABSCENCE of health is -- which is disease, dysfunction, unhappiness. 

Health is simply your body's ability to adapt to the stresses of the internal and external environment in which we exist.  The better we adapt the stronger we are.  The failure to adapt the more health goes away.

This idea that 'if it ain;t broke, don't fix it" is dangerous when it comes to our body.

Please, don't get me wrong.  There are health nuts out there who dont' live long, and then there are sedentary people who live long lives.  BUT, as a society,we are not doing well. Diseases like cancer, diabetes, alzheimers, MS, fibromyalgia, etc, etc, etc are more prevelant today than ever before.  Why?  I don't know..   But WHY not PAY yourself first!!!

*Pay yourself first - every week,or day, make a deposit in your health bank account!!.  It doesn't matter what it is, stretching, water, more veggies, a 10 minute walk, a little yoga or Tai Chi .etc, etc,

PLEASE don't tell me WE don't have 10 to 20 minutes a day!!  WE have to schedule it.  To Pay yourself first, we have to schedule our weekly activities IN advance! 



Schedule your weekly adjustment - in advance!!

Think about it.... My video about health discusses this idea ..
