At 37 years old, Tom Brady is one of the best quarterbacks in professional football.
He may not be old for the average person, but 37 is considered old for a professional football player, especially for a super-star professional football player.
So, how does Tom Brady, the quarterback for the New England Patriots, do it?
When asked recently, he said, “I do go to bed very early because I’m up very early. I think that the decisions I make [probably always] center around performance enhancement, if that makes sense. So whether that is what I eat or what decisions I make or whether I drink or don’t drink, it’s always football-centric. I want to be the best I can be every day. I want to be the best I can be every week. I want to be the best I can be for my teammates.”
What does this have to do with you?
Quite a bit, actually.
I’m sure you noticed that Tom Brady’s “secret” was kind of a let down. No magic supplements. No crazy exercise program.
Just common sense-101.
That’s because there really are no secrets to success, great health, or whatever you want to achieve in life.
Something like going to bed early can have a dramatic impact on your health and performance in the long-term. It is hard or impossible to measure the impact of just one night’s sleep, but there is no doubt that years of consistently doing the right thing pays HUGE dividends.
The same holds true for diet and exercise.
One meal or walk around the block does not seem to mean much, but those exact same things done ritualistically for years can change your life.
So, follow Tom Brady’s example… and go to bed early TONIGHT. And start eating right and exercising RIGHT NOW.
Not tomorrow. Not next week. Not after the holidays. RIGHT NOW.
And then, don’t stop.
Sincerely,
Dr. Binder
