Do you have energy that lasts throughout the day?
Do you walk into meetings with confidence knowing that you are at your absolute best?

No, these are not trick questions. And yes, I know they’re rhetorical. Let me guess…you answered no and no, right? I’m with you.

Let’s look at some of the day-to-day ways we avoid our own vitality and health.

When we talk about living a healthy, balanced and prosperous life from the Inside-Out, our health is at the very core. Being healthy in mind, body and spirit relates to every component of our life. It just doesn’t matter what kind of car you drive or how much money you have in the bank if you don’t have the health to enjoy any of it.

We tend to race through life, becoming easily overwhelmed, overworked, overcommitted, and the first thing that falls through the cracks? Taking care of ourselves!

You know what I mean. You’re in a hurry. You’ve been in meetings all day. You realize you haven’t had lunch─and it’s already 4:30 pm. So you pull into a fast food lane and order your favorite “comfort” foods - that ironically make you feel very uncomfortable later on. And then you feel too lousy to go for a walk, let alone the gym. Pretty soon, you don’t even think about it anymore.

The ultimate secret to living from the inside out is also the most important key to building trust instantly with everyone you touch and moving beyond ego to genuine peace of mind. The secret centers around a simple, yet immeasurably profound principle called being fully present.

Perhaps the most powerful way to understand this principle of being present is to look clearly at what it is not.

Several years ago when I was the vice-president of a large training company, I became painfully aware of what it means to not be present. At that time we were a family of three with my wife Carole and me, and our oldest daughter, Kelsey who was five years old. Driven by an unrelenting, nearly suffocating feeling of overwhelm, I had fallen into the habit of reaching the office by 5:00 a.m. and not returning home until well after 6:00 in the evening.

On most weekends I was away, teaching seminars around the country. Not once did I see my daughter get ready for kindergarten. Not once did I surprise her by picking her up from school to spend some special, unexpected moments together. I mistakenly convinced myself that I didn’t have time. I had to be at the office first and to put more hours in than anyone else. After all, I was driving myself for my family, wasn’t I?

We read the statistics in the newspaper, hear the information on the radio, and see it on the evening television. Proper diet, nutrition, and an overall healthy lifestyle, help to prevent a host of health-related issues. For many of us, this information is heard but not received. We know what we should do, but somehow we still are not doing it.

Why? Well, the answer is rooted in living from the inside-out and that is making a conscious commitment to take care of our body. However, it is the conscious decision making that drops by the wayside when our lives are busy and overcommitted. We then fall back to old patterns of eating and coping that ultimately don’t serve our bodies, minds, or spirits.

What we put in our bodies affects what comes out. Not only in physical outcomes like endurance and strength levels, but in mental and emotional outcomes as well like fatigue, mood swings and poor attention.

In our busy lives we sometimes fail to emphasize for ourselves that without taking care of the physical self, we may not be giving ourselves much time to enjoy anything else and then are often surprised when illness occurs. Unfortunately many times it takes that “unexpected” illness to give us the opportunity to have conscious intent about our health and what we put in our bodies.
