So when we think of a bank deposit we usually think of money. But I am realizing that everything in life has its own type of bank system and we either deposit or withdraw.
With the money, we understand that if we don't put money in, we can't take it out. Now in our society their is a borrowing system for money, and we pay interest when we use someone elses money to buy things for ourselves. You often pay much more in the long run. And if you get in the habbit of spending someone elses money you can acquire huge debts. You are a controlled by financial situation. A slave to paying bills. If you avoid this and only spend your own money you controll the money and it works for you instead of the other way around.
Obvious.
Well transfer the principles to other areas of life. Say physical health. (Since this is my major concern these days.) Just say the body is the bank account. Anytime we do anything it is a withdrawl. When we eat, drink water and sleep it is a deposit. Now Exersize is actually like an investment. You spend energy (your physical money) and if you do it wisely it will have a good return. The best way for this investing, is compound investing, or regular investment of exersize.
If we neglect watching the overall balance then we can get in the negative for our health account. Then anytime we do make withdrawls it is more expensive because we are spending what we don't have!
For me, I think, I SHOULD be able to do this or that without getting tired, or my big one, a migraine, but I am on the red, so it is more expensive. So I am trying to make wise investments as I continue to make little deposits and withdrawls.
I am starting to intellectually get this, but my emotions are still stuck in the I should be able to do everything I want to do. Why can't I work all day? Well I know I will get a migraine, and restless legs and short tempered, but I want to go go go.
Just like I am learning to budget my money better I need to budget my health better.
I can't withdraw the weeks energy for one day in the garden. Yes I can do it today, but what about tomorrow?
So I need to budget my energy. Don't give it all in one day. 15 minutes a half hour... drink water, and rest. When I rest I inadvertantly check my balance, then I realize how tired Í am and if I am up to more, if it is wise. Then if I am wise I will consult the weekly budget to see if I should keep going.
(This budget system applies to relationships with kids, spouse and more. Am I putting in the regular deposits to stay ahead and ivest against the difficult times that do come?)
