Taking Responsibility for Self

I often find it really interesting that when you bring up a conversation that involves having people to lead a healthy life or to keep fit for their own well-being, people will get really defensive. They are always busier than you! Always! Even though when it is really clear that you are probably the busier person of the two but is more committed to making time for your health. They will also come with an endless list of reasons why they can't or don't have the time to. The most common reasons I get is that they are too busy or have a list of datelines that never seems to end. Do they truly not have the time or are just not managing their time well enough to look after themselves?

To be really honest, I think everyone leads busy lives. Why is it some people are able to while others can't? It's about how willing you are to take the responsibility to make the time for your own well-being. Realistically, if you are not healthy or well, you will not be able to get yourself to work or meet your dateline. It's interesting how people have their perspectives backwards.

We all have 24hrs in a day and 168hrs in a week. Taking 3-5 hours out of 168hrs in week is ONLY 3% of our time in a week. The health benefits that you will receive in return for the 3% of your time invested in physical activity is immeasurable.
