How do you prioritise health?

“The first wealth is health.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

Where in your priorities is your health? Where is it in relation to your career, relationships, money and fun? To me, health – mental and physical – is the number one priority. It’s the foundation that supports effective accomplishment of all other priorities.

• Eating right upgrades my focus and energy levels. Eating right can make the difference between feeling awesome and feeling shady.

• Exercising regulates stress and gets me into the flow state when I do have to work. It’s counter-intuitive, but giving up exercise time to work more will makes me less efficient and productive.

• Meditating and strong sleep prevents anger from getting in the way of productive collaborations.

A theoretical question to put things into perspective: how much money would you have to be paid to give up having an able body? I suspect no amount would be sufficient.

Thanks for reading.
