The Health Investment Account
It all begins with an idea.
We can think of our health and everything that goes into health as a savings account or retirement account. Everyone loves a nice full bank account, especially in our later years after we stop working. We all hate bank fees and getting that notification that our balance is running low.
Every time we say we’re going to do something that will improve health like “wake up at 6 and workout” or “eat veggies with two meals” and we actually follow through, we make a deposit into our “Health Account”.
On the flip side, everytime we say we’re going to do something to improve health and then find an excuse to put it off, that acts as a withdrawal. You start making more withdrawals than deposits. Those notifications are going to start coming in. Those notifications might be joint pain, increased anxiety, weight gain, and eventually turn into an overdraft with interest (Chronic disease).
Developing healthy habits rely on making hard choices then following through with those choices. Each time you make the right choice, discipline builds, motivation builds and Health improves.
There is also a fine line we need to walk when it comes to developing these habits. A common mistake people make is going “ALL IN”. The thought is great but sadly this approach usually isn’t very successful.
“ALL IN” is where we go too hard too fast. Working out 5,6 times per week, sometimes twice per day or cutting out all sugar and processed foods and eating chicken and broccoli everyday is extremely hard to maintain and usually ends up with a “burnout” or a “relapse”. The human body is a complex machine designed to adapt to anything we throw at it. BUT…...it needs time to do so.
Our chances of succeeding on this health and fitness journey are much greater if we focus on small consistent healthy habit changes over longer periods of time. Maybe start with 2 workouts per week for the first month and focus on increasing water intake and eating more veggies instead of cutting everything out right away.
From there, you can continue building on these small “wins”. Each time you establish a small “win” you move that needle a little closer to optimal health.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
