Compounding Interest with Nutrition
Compounding interest with your financial investments makes sure you retire on time. What about compounding interest with your nutrition
Compounding interest works to the investor’s benefit. The idea is “invest $20,000 by 25 years old, leave it, and let the interest make you a millionaire by 65 years old.”
Compounding interest adds on top of what you’re doing in the day in and day out
Your Diet and Health Choices are no different…
Have you been investing properly?
Well, Look in the mirror… Your body tells the truth.
The thing about improving your health or wealth is that this stuff takes time.
One workout ain’t gonna make you Ronnie Coleman.
One salad ain’t gonna drop the +40lbs you’ve been carrying around.
One cookie ain’t gonna put you on My 600-lb Life.
You’re sitting here reading this on a Thursday morning +40lbs overweight. You quit on your New Year’s resolution last Friday because you only lost 2 lbs, and you think…“OH What’s the point!?”
You gave up, again, after a few days of trying.
You have to understand this principle- that it takes time for the work you’re putting in on yourself to come to fruition.
You didn’t gain those 40lbs by eating one big meal.
You gained those 40lbs by having 1-2 beers most nights the past 6 years.
You gained those 40lbs by simply eating that little extra post-dinner sweet treat every night for the past 10 years or even going up for a 2nd helping nightly.
The point is, that the compounding interest in these seemingly innocent choices has led you to this point of disgust and disappointment with what you see in the mirror.
YOU MUST USE THIS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE.
Making peace with those choices over the years will set you up for a better experience when you go to correct your behaviors.
NOW, you have the understanding to undo 6-10+ years of bad choices it may take 6-12+ months to fully correct them.
You keep showing up day after day, meal after meal, and you start to see progress take form, simply because you're not rushing perfection, you’re making progress.
After some time passes, you may have a hiccup… GOOD!
This exposes some faults very clearly. But why would you just give up?
Did you close your account after the market tanked your retirement this week? No, you seek advice on how to correct and invest to build back positive gains.
Same thing with your health. A Hiccup happens, you do the next right thing and don’t miss twice in a row.
You believe in yourself enough to trust progress is still being made.
YOU MUST KEEP GOING!
You only fail once you have thrown in the towel for good, otherwise, it’s just a defeat. Get back up and chase your glory.
Take the daily actions that will put you in the place you desire to be in.
It’s gonna take time… All good things do.
Right on. I wrote about this topic a few weeks ago. Everything we do is cumulative.
