Have you ever thought about the correlation between optimal health and business? Actually, the two have a great deal in common.
Like many people I slipped into a pattern of unhealthy eating, little exercise and the “I’ll get around to it tomorrow” syndrome. This led to low energy that was not my desire for my personal or professional life.
Before I knew it I was not where I wanted to be with my health. Not that there was anything drastically wrong, but being a middle aged woman I know the risks that even a 20 pound weight gain can have.
A few months ago I decided to take control of the situation. I began working with a nutritionist who guided me through the process of reclaiming my health.
The results are nothing short of amazing. To say I’m proud of my accomplishments may be a bit understated. I’m ecstatic.
What I realize though is, Sandi could only guide me. I had to make the day by day choices to get where I visioned myself to be.
As I took my 3 mile power walk this morning I saw a strong connection to reclaiming my health and running a successful business.
Here’s just a few of the similarities. To achieve optimal health and create a successful business you have to:
1. have specific goals
2. be committed to success
3. create an environment that supports your success
4. take action every day moving in the direction of your vision
5. be willing to let go of things that no longer work
6. periodically go through a clearing out or cleansing process
7. realize you may not see the little changes every day but over time the with the proper vision, commitment and actions the changes are incredible.
The greatest benefit of reclaiming our health is the clarity of mind that comes with this to have even more clarity on what we can accomplish with our businesses.

Great article, Kathleen.
And you are so right when you say that “Sandi could only guide you; you had to make the day by day choices to get where you visioned yourself to be.”
A change-agent can direct us, guide us, provide us with powerful tools, and teach us all sorts of tips and tricks to help us achieve our goals, but it is up to us to roll up our sleeves and do the work.
Warmly,
Chantal
@Chantal – Yes, and sadly many people miss the mark with this believing somehow someone else is responsible to hand them their success.
This attitude not only shortchanges us, imagine how unfulfilled we would be not to enjoy the victories of life based on our efforts.
There’s a strong corruption between achieving a physical task, and ordering your mind. I’m always amazed how I’m able to think with increased clarity after I wash a sink full of dishes, sweep a floor, or take out garbage. I like the sound of “reclaiming your health”, as opposed to “going on a diet”. The former is proactive, the latter sounds like you’re taking medication. I stopped drinking soda a year ago and was shocked when became less nervous, less bloated and more energetic. Now my favorite drink is cucumber juice with honey and Ginger, a drink that literally made me gag and hurl a year ago.
Er..sorry.. I mention “correlation” not “corruption!” LOL!
