Have you ever wonder why achievers have so much energy overcoming great challenges and yet achieve what they set out to do? After researching and reading into people of great successes, I realize that all these achievers have created for themselves a health plan to enable them to have far more physical energy and also to maintain a high level of health that allow them to strive for the greatest success they always desire.

Achievers know that the better they take care of themselves, the more calm, positive, and creative they will be. This is why often their best thinking, their best ideas and their best decisions come after a holiday, vacation or period of rest. They increase the quality of their lives by eating right and getting the right amount of rest. They also find that by taking more time off they create more opportunities for high quality thinking time which will have a positive effect on their lives, career and income. They enjoy high levels of health and vitality and they also understand that their current levels of energy and physical well-being are perhaps the best indicator as to how well they are currently doing in your life.

The best investment an achiever can ever make is his body. It pays for itself over and over again, every minute, every hour and every day. As he develops the habit of good health, nutrition, exercise and overall proper care for his body, it affects every other area of his life in a healthy and positive way as well. The quantity and quality of his energy flow deeply affect his emotions, thoughts and reactions. The quality of his relationships, productivity, creativity and health all depend upon creating a high level of harmoniously flowing energy.

Simple techniques and methods that have been researched and proven to maintaining high levels of vitality and physical health that have been incorporated in an achiever’s lifestyles should be;

1.Maintain a proper diet. Eating a proper diet requires that you eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grain cereals, and more lean sources of protein. Eat more fish, chicken, prime cuts of meats, egg whites, low fat yogurts, and soy products. When you eliminate most fats from your diet and replace them with high-quality vegetables and lean-sourced protein you'll increase your levels of energy, clear your mind, and lose weight.

2.Maintain proper hydration. Water is one of the greatest aids to good health that you can possibly consume. Studies show that you should drink eight glasses of water daily and more if you're doing physical labor or exercising. In fact, medical studies have shown that as much as 70 percent of all health problems can be eliminated or reduced by increasing your water consumption. This is mainly because of the tremendous amount of toxins and impurities that you flush from your body when you drink water.

3.Maintain the proper weight. This simply means that you should eat less and exercise more. The way you think plays a dominant role in your eating and exercise habits. For example, under-achievers who are overweight often think about the pleasure of eating and give little or no thought to how they will look and feel afterwards. Whereas achievers who are never overweight are usually very thoughtful about how they will look and feel after eating. They don't like the feeling of being full or looking fat, so they eat less and stop eating sooner.

4.Get the right amount of exercise. Studies show that on average you need to get 200 minutes of exercise weekly or about 25 minutes per day to maintain a high level of fitness. You can get daily exercise from a variety of activities such as, walking, swimming, cycling, golf, tennis and exercise equipment. Perhaps the best exercise you can get is doing aerobics for 20 to 30 minutes, 3 to 5 times per week. One important note on exercise: Before you start an exercise routine you should get a complete medical check-up.

5.Get the right amount of daily vitamins and minerals. It's almost impossible to get the right amount daily vitamins and minerals that you need from diet alone. This is why you should at the very least take a multi-vitamin each day. Opinions vary widely on which vitamin, mineral and herbal supplements are good and how much of each you should take. You should consult your doctor or a nutritionist before you start taking other supplements in addition to a multi-vitamin.

6.Get the right amount of rest and relaxation. You need 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night to be fully rested. It's important that you give your body, mind and emotions time to recuperate from the day. You can take a short 20 minutes nap during the day. Have at least one day set aside during the week just for your family and recreation where you don't think about your work at all. Here's an important rule to remember: The time when you most need time off is when you don't have time to take time off.

7.Breathing techniques are essential for the abundant flow of vital energy throughout the body and mind. Bio-energy is the basis of all physical and mental functions. Breathing exercises are one of the most effective ways to increase our energy level and keep it steady and harmonious so we will be less susceptible to low emotional states or illness. We should, however, have the guidance of person experienced in breathing techniques before we begin.

8.Creative self-expression is much more important to our physical, emotional and spiritual health and harmony than most people imagine. Man is a creative being. Our purpose on earth is to create in some way. We might create a family, a business, a farm, a painting, a piece of music, a dance, etc. Creative self-expression is essential for our health, harmony and happiness.

9.Discover your spiritual orientation. Each of us has his own personal relationship with the universe. Whether or not we adhere to any particular religion, it is important for our inner balance that we feel and cultivate our relationship with the whole as humanity, as nature, or as God.

10.Increase your self-knowledge of your body. We need to comprehend our own inner mechanisms, needs, desires, fears, expectations, beliefs and subconscious workings in order to free ourselves from the negative emotions, mechanisms or which undermine our health, happiness and relationships.

Achievers think of their body as a machine that is designed to last 100 to 120 years with the proper care and maintenance. They take good care of it and feed their body the proper foods and nutrients. Drink lots of water. Exercise regularly. Rest and recuperate, and give their body a chance to recharge on a regular basis.

The phrase that "you become what you think about" is never truer than when it comes to eating and exercise. The way achievers think about food and exercise determines how much they eat and how much they exercise they get. If achievers change their thinking about food and exercise, underachievers should change their behavior toward both so as to maintain high level of health and physical energy to spur themselves into greater heights!
