5 reasons you need to seize the day and take control to improve your health
1. Every single area of your life that you care about relies upon your health. If health is poor, life quality is poor. If you’ve ever suffered ill health before or seen someone you love suffer you will understand the devastating effect that poor health has. Creating a base of good health is the first building block to having an awesome life.
2. With great health you have the energy, motivation and drive to achieve whatever truly matters to you. You will be enthusiastic, joyful and capable of creating your ideal life. You’ll have the get up and go to do what you want with your life. You can simply do more when you feel great. It’s living the dream, compared to the alternative.
3. Your body creates every cell, organ system, muscle, bone, your immune system and every ounce of energy you have from what you nourish it with. Choose to maximise your health with every single bite you take. Don’t dig your own grave with your knife and fork.
4. Your health is YOUR responsibility alone. It’s time you realised this and stopped blaming outside forces for your current state. It is not up to anyone else to provide your body with what you need, to move it or care for it, no one else can do it for you. Choosing to take responsibility for your health will have a huge impact on your own sense of empowerment, control and your enjoyment of your life. Think of yourself as your Health Boss, you’re the CEO of your own body's health. What changes do you need to make on a higher level?
5. Prevention is far, far easier, less expensive and more enjoyable than attempting to find a cure for a health problem ever will be. Choose to prevent ill health before it strikes and you’ll never need to seek a cure later.
You see, when you wake up to your own behaviour and truly become aware of the impact it is having - or will have - on the life you desire, you get the kick you need to stop messing around and take it seriously. Don’t wait for a serious health blow to finally open your eyes. Most people go mindlessly about their lives, neglecting or not even considering their health and are then surprised when they get a massive wake up call from their body, decide you won’t be like most people.
There are plenty of examples of other people’s poor health choices and the consequences of them if you look around you:
Your health will not be easily cured down the track if all you do day-to-day is abuse and neglect it. Awareness is key to improving your health and stepping into your power, the control you already have.

There are plenty of examples of other people’s poor health choices and the consequences of them if you look around you:
- Joint replacements because the body is carrying so much weight the knees cannot support it anymore.
- Gastric bypass surgery and the lifelong complications it has because a person will not stop eating too many of the wrong foods and will not move their body enough.
- Heart disease and brain inflammation caused by consistently poor lifestyle and food choices and neglect of the body’s basic needs.
- Chronic health conditions that seriously shorten the lives of those we know and love.
- Debilitating health issues that reduce the quality and joy of the person’s life so much that they no longer want to continue struggling.
- Pain, stiffness and a reliance on mobility equipment: for a body that wasn’t moved often enough or strengthened regularly or correctly.
- Daily struggling due to poor lifestyle choices, sip by sip, pill by pill, one mouthful or put off exercise session at a time. Poor heath rarely happens overnight, there are always signs from the body that it needs help, something different, something more or less toxic burden, it communicates with you all the time if you listen.
Your health will not be easily cured down the track if all you do day-to-day is abuse and neglect it. Awareness is key to improving your health and stepping into your power, the control you already have.
