Be Healthy For YOU

Getting healthy, or being healthy, is something everyone should strive to do for themselves. We all know what we should do, but not everyone does it. Don't believe me? Just go to any mall, shop, store, or busy street and look at all the people who are... shall we say... not the healthiest.

This got me thinking about something. Why do people choose to be healthy or not to be healthy? When it boils down to it, people do it for themselves, they don't do it for someone else. In other words, if you say "I'm getting in shape for my wife/husband," you are just fooling yourself because you will never sustain it, you will eventually go back to your old habits that kept you "out of shape."

Another mindset that comes into play here is the fact that if you're doing it for someone else, you can always blame someone else if you don't hit your goal, whatever that is. You may even say, "I did all this work to make *insert name here* happy and I still didn't lose that 10lbs!"

Really? It's someone else's fault you didn't hit that goal? How is that possible? They didn't do the work (or not do the work)... YOU did! They didn't eat the foods... YOU did! How is that someone else's fault, explain that one to me?

What I'm saying here is that nothing will happen inside of you until you decide to do it for yourself. And, once that decision is made, nothing will stop you, you'll be on a mission.

We have examples of this everywhere. Have you ever seen someone who decided to lose weight and they made a dramatic change and lost the weight? What about someone who wanted to gain muscle and turned themselves into a beach body hottie? Sure you have, we all have seen it, there are examples everywhere. (I've even interviewed several people who fall in this category)

"But Andrew, that's them. I can't do that." Why not? The only difference between what those people have done and what you can do is decide to do it... for YOURSELF! Do it because YOU want to! Do it because YOU need to! Once you decide to do it, you'll be amazed at the results you will achieve!

Will it be easy... nope, not at all. Why would it be easy? If it were easy, everyone would be in better shape. Is it simple... it sure is.

Here's how simple it is... go for a one mile walk every day. Eat the right kind of food. Drink more water. Maybe do some basic push ups. There you go... see, simple. Will this get the ripped muscles and abs? Probably not, but we aren't talking about that, we are talking about doing something for YOU! Making a decision to get healthy for YOU. Nothing will happen in your life until YOU decide to make it happen... for YOU!

People in this wacky workout world need to realize a healthy body and healthy lifestyle CAN be had by ANYONE! BUT, that person has to decide to do it for themselves. If this article has touched you or made you think about doing something, then I've done my job. I'll be your second biggest fan for you to achieve your health goals. Who will be your first... YOU! Now, go out there and sweat!
