This weekend I was at the FAU vs. Navy game and ran into a guy who I trained with few times years ago. He looked at me and said, “Damn, you look good. How much weight have you lost? You look lean.”
Later, I ran into another buddy I hadn’t seen in a while, and he said something similar. I told them both the same thing:
I made my health a priority.
But it got me thinking about my journey and one of the biggest excuses I hear from people when it comes to taking care of themselves:
“I don’t have time.”
I get it. We’re all busy.
Careers. Businesses. Kids. Meetings. Travel. Life.
But you don’t need two hours a day.
Start with 30 minutes.
And if you’re saying, “Steve, I don’t even have 30 minutes,” I challenge you to do something today. Look at yesterday hour by hour.
How much time did you spend scrolling social media? Browsing Amazon? Watching TV?
Reading random stuff online? Sitting on your phone doing absolutely nothing productive?
Be honest with yourself.
I’m willing to bet most of us can find 30 minutes somewhere.
And it doesn’t have to be the gym.
Walk. Lift. Ride a bike. Swim. Stretch. Play a sport with your kids. Just MOVE.
I’ve learned that being healthy isn’t about finding extra time.
It’s about deciding that your health deserves some of the time you already have.
We make time for meetings.
We make time for clients.
We make time for our businesses.
We make time for everyone else.
Make some time for YOU.
Start with 30 minutes. Make excuses or make time. It’s up to you.
