Investing in yourself - A message from Hayley

I'd like to share with you something that Hayley came up with this week. She said that when you are investing in something you would check your investment account to see what was happening so why, when you are investing in your health and fitness would you not check your measurements to see what was happening? Your body composition is just one of the things that changes when you are investing in your health and fitness and there are lots of other things too that you can check to see if your investment is paying off..other physical changes like your strength and fitness levels, your energy levels; nutritional changes like your cravings and enjoyment and your emotional changes like your happiness levels.

Also, Hayley made a very good point that when you are investing in something, for example, saving up for a holiday, you would ask yourself the question "Can I afford that?" when something comes along that might take your investment (focus) elsewhere. How would it be if you asked yourself "Can I afford this?" when you are drawn towards the chocolate bar with your cup of coffee, the glass of wine with dinner, the pudding that everyone else is having.....?

A while ago a past FatScrapper said to me that when she ate out with friends she felt she had to have everything they were having as they would split the bill and she would not be getting the value out of her share of the bill. Another FatScrapper asked her "What about the value you are getting out of your investment in FatScrap?

We always have a choice, and it's how we value our choices that leads to action. When you invest in your health and fitness, and FatScrap, you are investing in yourself, you are valuing you, you are acknowleding your self worth and increasing your self esteem. Love you, you are amazing!!!

And thank you, beautiful Hayley, for sharing your love with us!
