What Has Physical Workout To Do With Success In Life
To be successful in life in general, you need to be and stay flexible. To stay flexible, you have to be flexible in your mind and body. You have to keep your mental and physical felxibility throughtout your life, which you can only achieve if you regularly wokrout your mind and your body.
Never stop to learn
To stay flexible in your mind (mental flexibility) you have to continuously learn something new and stay informed and you should read each day in a book. If you stop to learn and don’t read for some time, your mind may get kind of rusty.
Have a talk with someone, who did not read for a while. During the first talk those people might tell you something about their past, but should you meet them again a talk with them will get boring. They complain about the weather and about some ailments. When you have a talk with an elderly person, who never stopped to learn, you will love to listen as this person will have a lot to talk about.
The flexibility of your brain (your mental flexibility), is interwoven with the flexibility of your body (physical flexibility) in more than one way First, if you are physically flexible, you will also be flexible in your mind. And second, when you workout you breathe differently as when you sit. While you workout more oxygen will get into your lungs, which increases brain activity. Furthermore, our body was made to move. To stay healthy you have to move. But today most of us sit the whole day.
I have been told from people that when they come home from work, they are too tired to go jogging or do strength exercises or go to a fitness center. They don’t even try. They don’t understand that they are not physically tired. Many of them have a problem to fall asleep, because they are not really tired as they sat on a chair all day long and drove to work and back home with their car.
The moment you are in your workout outfit and start to move, more oxygen will come into your lungs and you will quite suddenly feel energized. To workout for 30 minutes each day is already enough and if you make it ten or twenty minutes longer it is sufficient. You will sleep better and feel better.
In some companies it is expected that managers go jogging in the morning. The reason is easy to undertand. When you are jogging your blood circulation will be boosted. You will not come to the office, wish to be still in bed and therefore get yourself first a cup of coffee and during the day you will again and again fight against sleepiness. On the contrary, when you come to the office after you have been jogging for half an hour or so, you will be wide awake and maybe have fresh ideas with which you walk with energetic steps to the morning meeting. Your voice will be strong and you will radiate aliveness and activeness.
In the evening, when your muscles are warmed up, you should do strength training. What has strength training to do with success? That is a no-brainer. If you are strong, you will radiate this strength and it will be seen as powerfulness. Look at some of the very successful people and then imagine them being physically frail.
There is no question about why daily physical training is very important on your way to success. If you are not training regularly, then make it a habit to workout at least five times a week for 30 minutes to an hour. You will feel better, be more energetic, be more productive, work more efficiently and the result will be success.
Stay physically and mentally fit and flexible, because this is part of success in life.
