How is your health? When did you get your last physical? What are the key metrics for your health success? Will you make it to age 100? …age 80? …next week? If you believe that the mind and body are aware of each other, then what is the subconscious part of the brain to assume if the body is breaking down and out of shape? So why bother pursuing any other form of success if you can’t manage to keep your body consistently at high energy?
The best predictors that consulting clients will fail to meet their outcomes are (1) poor, undermanaged health and (2) a lack of supportive relationships. Not surprisingly, the biggest business breakthroughs come when doctors revamp their health and/or relationships. You may have heard Tony Robbins (I’m a fan of Tony) describe a concept called the “Wheel of Life”, where the major areas of your life are broken down as follows:
1. Physical health
2. Spiritual/religious connection
3. Spouse or significant other
4. Family and close friends
5. Job, profession or avocation
6. Money and investing
The wheel is drawn like a pie into six sections with each key area corresponding to one of the sections. Give yourself a score from one to ten in each of the six areas. Then draw your wheel so that the size of each section is proportionate to the 1-10 score. The message is that if your wheel is not round, your life is out of balance. Reallocate your time and your resources to even out the distribution. You’ll attract better people and opportunities into your life if you do.
