Do it for the right reason. Make changes for yourself first; and then for those closest to you.
Nearly every day Suzy and I get an email from someone saying how they must get on The Biggest Loser because they want to lose weight for their kids or spouse. They list all of the things that they want to do for others but never say what they are going to do for themselves.
I tried going on a diet for other people lots of time. Someone would say something about my weight or ask me when I was going to do something about it and I would get crazy healthy for a solid week, sometimes even two. After that my motivation would fade. I didn’t really want to get healthy for myself.
Women seem to be one of the biggest offenders when it comes to taking time for themselves. My wife will go and go and go until I say something and even then she may not realize how much she is doing. (She probably does, but doesn’t say anything.) If we take care of ourselves first, we can better care for those around us.
We fly all the time; I pretty much have the whole pre-flight speech memorized.
“In the event of a loss in cabin pressure, a mask will fall from overhead. Be sure and secure your own mask before assisting others.” They know that if you fail to put your own mask on, you will not be able to to help anyone else. Who would have thought that you could get a valuable life lesson from the airlines?
Maybe that is why they charge us so much to fly!
In all seriousness, we need to allow ourselves the freedom to do what we need to in order to be our best. I love my family and in order for me to be the best I can for them, there are things that I need to do on a regular basis. One of those things is workout. When I don’t get my workouts in my attitude changes, my mannerisms change, I get a little out of sorts. All of these things affect more than just me. They affect my wife and my children and I want to strive to make sure that the things I do affect them positively rather than negative.
Butterfly Principle. Take care of yourself in order to take care of others even better
