How to make a healthy lifestyle your choice, not an option

In the way you bring clarity to your business to gain your customers, the same happens when you choose health as a priority.? Sir Richard Branson, Founder of Virgin Group once said: “To me, business isn’t about wearing suits or pleasing stockholders.? It’s about being true to yourself, and your ideas, and focusing on the essentials.”?

Meaning;

• Accepting the wrong in you.
• Educating yourself on the do’s and do not's.?
• Filtering out excess and adding the minimum but necessary.

The concept of accountability makes you responsible for creating opportunities for your health as well.? According to the research of Professor Victor Callan: “A key practice shared by many CEOs was taking any opportunity for exercise, including early morning walks or swims, or late-night walks or runs.”?

It means the life of a CEO is not meant to be lived only sitting in front of screens.? Instead, your screens should have a to-do list for a day, a week, and even a month.? These lists are handy in keeping track of what you are doing while giving a sense of satisfaction.? They should include your self-care practices every day.? Sacrificing your self-care will take you out of that chair if it isn't a priority.

As Edward Stanley said: “Those who have no time for healthy eating will sooner or later have to find the time for illness.’’??
