Invest in You

We all want to invest in something, we all want our hard earned money to grow for us, for a down payment on a home, to the purchase of a brand new vehicle, or for that trip around the world you deserve so much-  and rightfully so. What else are you working so hard for? I do the same.

But really, when was the last time you thanked your body? When was the last time you thanked your soul? When was the last time you religiously took 5 to 15 minutes of your scarce time to put into the one thing that is always there when you are working extremely hard to make your investments turn into profitable gains, whatever they may be? That one thing that is always there no matter how much it wants to give out, it sleeps with you, wakes up with you and never leaves your side…YOUR BODY, your very own BODY! How amazing is that?

Let me ask you something- when was the last time you thanked your body for performing so well and so hard at everything you make it do? I’m not talking about material rewards either.

I bet you know when you changed the oil in your car, or when you last took your vehicle(s) for a tune-up or an alignment, and the amount you paid, or the last time you cut your lawn, watered the grass, the veggie garden? I think you get the point.

The point is, these things that we have to do, pay our bills on time, and build for our future, whether we are 5 or 65 are extremely important in life- but if we don’t take care of the one thing that helps us do all of this, we might as well stop doing everything else and just call it a day! Sianara, Ciao, Au revoir, Adios – that’s good bye in whatever language you may speak…

I don’t mean to speak on behalf of everybody, but I will speak on behalf of most noticeable bodies out there, PLEASE take a few minutes of your day to sit down with your body and have a one-on-one with it. Find out what it is saying to you, find out what it needs.

Take an extra 15 to 20 minutes EVERYDAY, and invest in your body and mind!

Whether it is 5 minutes today and 20 minutes tomorrow, your body needs you! It is craving for a tune up, an alignment- it is dying to be watered!

Take 5 minutes of your web-surfing time and grab a large towel, or yoga mat, I know you all have one or the other- and lie on the mat, close your eyes, feel your body and listen to what it is saying to you- why not treat your body to a light stretch! After 5 minutes of proper stretching, watch that pep come back into your step, watch your energy levels go up- the rewards and benefits are endless.

Do this for yourself not at any moment that you might get, but make the extra time and commit yourself to yourself, the same way you commit yourself to doing everything else.

There are important benefits of listening to your body and finding out what it needs from you, in order for it to perform at optimal levels…whether it may be through fitness, stretching, meditation, coaching…enlist in the services available to you if you must, but do it, do it now, and do it every day from today, tomorrow and the rest of your life. You have to, you only have one body, and I can guarantee you, once this one is gone, you will never get it back!

And for all those that are disciplined and committed to taking the time to invest in their temples- their bodies and their minds on a consistent basis….

We  applaud you and thank you for being an inspiration to us!
