Strategies for personal wealth are not hard to come by these days. All you have to do is look at a website or a trade magazine that is focused on increasing financial freedom and security, and you will find plenty of ideas.
I have discovered one habit over the course of my career that makes a key difference between being broke and having financial freedom… and most people are not even considering it.
Make a commitment to good personal health
That is right; did you know that the medical bills are the leading cause of personal bankruptcy in North America? This is not to mention the high cost of lost productivity due to low energy level and the inability to manage stress.
Being in good physical health not only helps you to save on medical bills, it also increases your ability to focus for long periods of time and gives you the emotional fortitude which encourages discipline and willpower needed to take control of your financial freedom. So what are some things that you can do to get in better health and accelerate your ability to achieve financial freedom?
A Strategy for Increasing Personal Wealth Through Better Health
The first step to getting yourself into better shape is to be honest with yourself about the condition of your health. Most of us are pretty good at fooling ourselves into thinking they were doing okay until we have an honest look at some hard statistics.
- Get some blood work done, take a BMI test and find out if you are overweight or obese.
- Take a fat percentage tests and find out if your body fat is abnormally high.
- Start doing some research on the healthy amount of sugar, sodium and fat intake in comparison to your current eating habits.
Finally, do some research on the connection between poor health and high medical bills, heart disease, diabetes and stroke. Confront all of the realities of your health habits and be honest with yourself about the potential consequences. Yes, the results might not be very positive at first… but that is what will motivated you to make a change… and that WILL be positive.
Implementing Your Strategy for Better Health
Once you have this information collected, start working on a fitness and nutrition program which will help you to turn things around.
Instead of trying to quit everything cold turkey, cut back on sugars first, sodium second and finally on fats. Just make sure that you are still getting a healthy balance of around 50% carbs, 30% proteins and 20% fat, or something close to it. Start small with your fitness program as well and work up from there.
After some time, you will achieve results which will make it easier for you to focus on strategies for increasing personal wealth and for saving yourself from costly medical bills in the future.
