Is exercise necessary to be rich and happy?

By Chris at November 04, 2009 05:23
Filed Under:

I was thinking about this recently… Is exercise necessary to be rich and happy? Anthony Robbins says in his “Get the Edge” CD’s (yes, I have them and they’re GREAT) that you should start every day off with exercise. After a few weeks of experimenting… I have to agree.

I’ve never really been a morning person. That’s bothered me because I feel like if I get an earlier start on the day I don’t have to work late at night to get things done. Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been working on getting up earlier. I categorize my success with getting more done into two categories:

Non-exercise mornings
On non-exercise mornings I am drowsy throughout the morning and feel that I need coffee to get my day started. I don’t really like to drink coffee in the morning because the afternoon crash comes very quickly. Then I have to have ANOTHER cup of coffee to get me through the afternoon. I LOVE green tea but I find myself drinking less of it on days that I don’t get up and exercise in the morning.

Exercise mornings
On the days I do some sort of exercise in the morning I feel 100% better and ready to face the day when I start working. I'm also able to ONLY drink Green Tea (my favorite is Chai Green Tea which is available at Publix in Florida) throughout the day. No coffee needed on exercise days.

When I say “exercise” I’m not talking about some viscous P90x workout (although I do that in the evenings). I’m simply talking about taking a walk for 20-30 minutes. That’s it. This is also a great time for incantations and letting your mind wonder and think. I have thought of so many great ideas when I’m just simply taking a morning walk. Make sure you write the ideas down when you get back to your place. Otherwise you’ll forget the ideas. Something I've done on more than one occasion.

Ok... So back to the question I originally asked; “Is exercise necessary to be rich and happy”? For me, it’s absolutely necessary. However, I do know people who are rich and happy without it. If you’re on the fence on whether you really want to exercise then experiment with it for a few days. See how it makes you feel. Just do the 15-30 minutes of walking in the morning. I promise you you'll be more alert and ready to go in the morning.

Don’t have time? Wake up earlier. Stop making excuses and go do it! You’ll be glad you did and it's just another step closer to being rich and happy!

Exercise helps our brain oxygenated enabling us to think fast, work fast, be active and attentive - perhaps that's the reason behind it. I also feel drowsy if I don't hit a few runs in the morning.

There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game.

I am not much of a guy who thinks in so deeply about web design but I think your post had some valid points in it. Like designers are forced to design stuff within the limited code available and not go beyond it, their innovation is somewhat limited but still I think Web Design won't die! I agree that Amazon and other some big sites won't have a blog but now a days it's very important to have some sort of option available so people can quickly communicate their thoughts. I think Amazon if wants to shift it to that, they can get a customized CMS for themselves.

Great post! I am just starting out in community management/marketing media and trying to learn how to do it well - resources like this article are incredibly helpful. As our company is based in the US, it?s all a bit new to us. The example above is something that I worry about as well, how to show your own genuine enthusiasm and share the fact that your product is useful in that case.

Hi. this is kind of an "unconventional" question , but have other visitors asked you how get the menu bar to look like you've got it? I also have a blog and am really looking to alter around the theme, however am scared to death to mess with it for fear of the search engines punishing me. I am very new to all of this ...so i am just not positive exactly how to try to to it all yet. I'll just keep working on it one day at a time.
