Start with the physical
Like so many good ideas, this one sounds obvious — once you’ve heard it.
Blogger Steve Pavlina suggests that when you’re faced with many improvements that you’d like to make in your life — whether career, health, relationships — it’s smart to begin with your own body.
“Improving your diet and level of fitness will produce positive results in every area of your life because you’ll have extra energy available to you every day,” Steve writes. “This means more energy to invest in your career, relationships, and mental and spiritual development.”
He points out that seeing physical results helps chart your progress and builds momentum toward other goals you’ve set.
“Of the many stories I’ve read from people who’ve transformed their lives for the better,” he writes, “physical fitness was nearly always a significant component from the beginning.”
