Is it your car or your house, maybe some jewelry or it is an antique piece of furniture that you view as your greatest treasure? Whatever it is that has value to you, don’t you treat that object differently? You handle it with care and will spend money on maintaining it and even showing it off at times. You have a certain amount of pride and emotional attachment to these particular things.
We all have things in our life we view as valuable but more often than not we don’t place that value on our health and fitness. You think you eat right…you don’t. You think you know what you are doing in the gym, you don’t. You think you do all the right things and work out hard and really…you don’t. The truth is for many people, the value you place on your health and fitness is less than the thought, effort and money you put into your car each month.
It is unfortunate that most don’t find the value of their health a priority until something goes wrong and even then there is a defiance to accept the truth that if you don’t have a healthy life all the other stuff means nothing. We are all guilty of a certain amount of vanity but getting a B-12 shot to lose weight is not the best way to maintain a healthy lifestyle. No one can simply tell you to find value in something, but do you see a value in examining a healthy lifestyle? You can eat right; you can workout more effectively and you can ask for help, because there are people like me that find a value in seeing you change your life for the better. The only thing is that you have to establish the value it has to you and then treat it with all the respect and care that you would give those other valued objects in your life.
