Looking back over the previous year, you may feel like you didn’t quite meet the goals you set yourself. Maybe you didn’t get that promotion, forgot to apply for your dream job, or missed out on the holiday of a lifetime. The power of positive thinking is definitely important for improving the year ahead, but you can’t rely on mind alone. If you really want to boost your health, wealth, and well-being in 2017, a little bit of daily exercise could be exactly what you need.
Many of the most financially successful people in the world claim to engage in daily exercise. This includes Barack Obama, Bill Gates, Richard Branson, Mark Zuckerberg, Tim Cook, and Anna Wintour.
There are many physical benefits to regular exercise but it can help out in other ways too. Both Richard Branson and Barrack Obama credit exercise for helping them to sleep better at the end of the day, and getting a good night’s sleep is hugely important for increasing daily productivity and the ability to reach pre-set goals.
Bill Gates also suggests that exercise increases his creative thinking, by giving his mind and body an outlet that allows him to focus, increasing his concentration levels and letting him work on the highest priority task which in turn results in a successful working day. It’s possible that putting aside some time to exercise each day could help to increase your concentration, energy levels, motivation and productivity which could go a long way to improving your financial future.
However, there are two sides to every tale, and as much as exercise could increase the chances of high earnings, it can easily work the other way round. According to Richard Branson, one of the best things about his lifestyle is the freedom it offers and the way he is able to take time out of the day to spend with his family. Being financially successful allows a lot of freedom, giving you the opportunity to engage in exercise you enjoy and in turn contributing to emotional wellbeing.
