Latest figures show that most of us will watch up to 5 hours of TV EVERY day on average. We will also look at our smartphones up to 5 hours a day.
Those minutes and hours all have a cost that lead to many lost opportunities in our lives, often giving up on the the things that REALLY matter to us.
We make time to brush our teeth, wash ourselves, to eat food, as these things are VITAL to us.
We say we have no time in our lives anymore as life is faster than ever, but many people say they have zero time for exercise and could not possibly fit it in as it is somehow “non-essential”, even if our lives will be much better and of higher quality because of it?
All our actions have consequences.
With the time we spend on phone, social media can be the main culprit. We all rely on significance and most of us like someone “liking” our post or picture.
Tech firms know that it gives us a boost, gives us significance in our lives to know we are appreciated and they actively track our interests and preferences, to make us feel better and ultimately sell us more “stuff”.
The tech firms rely on us being hooked to their devices.
The consequences of spending more time watching screens are often huge lost opportunities. A combined up to 10 hours screen time time daily can often make us feel we have no time for exercise.
That very decision not to get your trainers on can have a far-reaching impact.
It will lead to premature ageing and everything that comes with it, often ill health, feeling lethargic and end up with us feeling no ambition in our lives to actually get up and get “stuff done” anymore.
Surfing the internet can be fun, but it won’t come close the to the inner pride we develop when we re-discover what our bodies were created for-TO MOVE MORE.
Exercise is the catalyst to everything good in our lives.
More energy to look after our kids and grandkids, more energy to chase projects and aspirations we have put off for too long, more energy for higher performance all day long, as and when we need it.
Exercise and eating right makes us feel good full stop and that means being happy with who we are right now, and where we are going and what is possible in the future
Everything you do today can put you on a better path to huge energy and great possibility OR eventually a path of zero energy and much lower expectations at everything you view in life.
You are in charge, you are responsible and you are entirely capable of doing incredible things. Make it happen.
