Positive Health Trend

I must say that I’ve been through a lot in my 40-something years of existence, but financial distress tops the list of hardships. Loss of a job, embracing the path of an entrepreneur, and the associated costs have been overwhelming. It is really difficult when it feels like our financial worlds are crumbling around us. Like most any trauma, our rational minds seem to shut down, and the outlook becomes very grim; at least, this is the way it feels.

But, the truth is we can gain control of our financial well-being, and our success in this area will also positively impact our success in our physical health efforts. Balance overflows in a good way.

Like any behavioral change, it starts with realizing the need to change and the motivation to implement a new discipline. We must take action by opting for healthier choices. This may mean questioning our real need to spend money during each and every purchase decision, and instead of spending, we must save whenever possible. It feels very fulfilling to pay down debt and gain control back. I have a handle on my financials these days and I’m hopeful this positive vibe will also help shape my physical body in a good way as well.  

What are your thoughts about financial health? Does it impact you physically? Do you believe these two realms are connected?
