When you think of buying a membership or hiring a coach, how do you frame it in your mind? Do you think of it as spending money or do you think of it as investing in yourself? The way you’re viewing it could be negatively impacting your decision-making and even your progress.
Are you spending money or investing?
First, what’s the difference between spending money and investing? Spending money might give you a temporary high, like getting your nails done or buying something nice for yourself. Things like that will give you a little bit of dopamine that will make you happy for a bit, but doesn’t have much staying power. Compare that to purchases that not only improve your life, but actually pay long-term dividends. When you buy healthy food, a gym membership, supplements, you’re doing more than spending money, you’re improving your future!
Is it time to switch your perspective?
Now, I’m not telling you to stop spending money on the little things that give you a dopamine kick.
Trust me.
I’m somebody who loves to get her nails and lashes done! But I do want you to consider:
- How much importance are you placing on those things? Are you using them as a distraction or a way to numb yourself from the bigger things you want to change?
- Are those things in direct opposition to the changes you want to be investing in? Are you sabotaging your long term health by buying a daily fast-food meal? Or are you impulsively buying things rather than allocating that money towards your fitness goals?
- Do you really look at spending money on your health as an investment? Sometimes it’s easy to look at supplements and say, “Uggh… that’s so expensive.” But, first of all, a daily amount of supplements is way less than a Starbucks coffee. And those supplements are improving your immune system, metabolism, bone density, and longevity.
It’s time to make the switch from a
short-term gains, long-term sacrifice way of doing things. You can allocate more money towards your health and still do the fun stuff you love. But you do need to start differentiating between the things you love, the things that give you a temporary high, and the things that improve your life.
Your future health is worth the investment. And if you’re ready to invest in yourself, in your health and your happiness, then schedule a call with me
and let’s get you working towards those dividends!
