The Numbers Game
Sport lovers love numbers. They gobble up statistics like hungry hounds, always on the
search for more information about their favorite players and teams. They also love games.
That much is obvious.
When taken in moderate doses, these interests are harmless fun, but imagine what they
could achieve if combined with your health. Not merely harmless, they could save your life.
Is your blood pressure too high? Turn it into a game. See if you can lower it by your next
visit. Keep track of your numbers (with charts, graphs, spreadsheets, whatever), get
excited about improvements, and make changes when needed. Treat the goal as you would treat
any other game that you're trying to win.
The same can be done with high cholesterol, weight loss, healthy eating, exercising, and
any other aspect of your health. If you can turn these concerns into a game of numbers and
challenges, you'll ignite a natural drive inside that propels you toward success.
