Performance Lifestyle. What is it?
Written by John Allen Mollenhauer "JAM" on August 15, 2007 – 11:00 amPart 1 of 5
As you’ve learned, Performance Lifestyle is not an addiction to performing for the wrong reasons. So let’s begin talking about what Performance Lifestyle is.
For starters, you’ll here me talking about Performing "well" often… that’s a very different term.
After years of promoting health and fitness information, addressing the common problems we suffer, from low energy, to weight issues and poor health, and seeing people basically stay on the same merry go round, despite short-term success, I began to realize there was something missing…
…a central message that would explain why only a small segment of the population (3% or so) stays on top of their game, looking, feeling and performing "well" and achieving their goals successfully. Meanwhile, the larger majority of the population who may also be succeeding, financially etc, struggles with diet and weight issues, long-term health and well being issues and above all, low energy.
That central message is Performance Lifestyle.
You’d have to be living under a rock not to be seeing (or experiencing) all the buzz about "overwhelm", "multi tasking" and its impact on our performance, "how the pace of life has sped up" and our quality of life is deteriorating, how "obesity and disease rates are climbing", and last but certainly not least, how "we’re so exhausted, we don’t have enough energy left over for our sex lives…" -
Now that is a problem! 
The pace of life (if you’re all caught up) is kicking our asses and the way we’re responding to the stress is not making matters better. Yes …we’re not getting enough sleep, eating junk food, and physically inactive. But for starters, it’s the perfect environment for performance addiction to get worse and that’s the villian in this story.
The solutions have been, "Reduce stress, get more sleep, eat less and exercise more". Yeah, yeah, yeah… yeah. Doing these things on purpose may help you get healthy "er", but unless you arrive there in a normal and natural way, all of these things (which are outcomes), can be traps of epic proportions, guaranteed to keep you chasing your tail.
But you already know that don’t you? Maybe not.
People living Performance Lifestyle’s, whom we call "Healthy High Achievers", don’t buy into impotent solutions. They see things very differently.

[...] <Go Back Part 2 of 5 The people who live a Performance Lifestyle, see things very differently. and it’s why they’re called Healthy High Achievers (HHA’s). They live "healthy" lifestyles but "healthy living" doesn’t explain why they get the results they do. I’m a big proponent of living a healthy lifestyle, but sleep, food and fitness, as foundational as they are, are only part of the healthy high achievers lifestyle, success formula. By themselves they are importent solutions to the challenges we face today because they don’t solve the problems. Healthy High Achievers work out yes, they do the stuff you see in the magazines (well, almost) depending on what magazine you’re reading. It’s what you’re not seeing (or learning) that makes the difference, that can only be explained in the context of the Performance Lifestyle they live. Healthy High Achievers have a different mindset, a far more potent lifestyle and a more complete approach to acheiving their goals, than the average person has. I’ve actually gotten tired of saying "live healthy", especially when I myself know that the reason why I get better results than most people is only partly because of how I sleep, eat and exercise. The Healthy High Achiever, does not wake up every day focused on health (unless they’ve lost it). They wake up every day, like you I’m sure, focused on success… the things they’re up to in the world. In other words, they are focused on their goals. And their goal is not be healthy, it’s to be successful. Health is our birthright, it’s not a goal! So what bridges the gap between their health and success? A very potent solution, called Performance Lifestyle.Stay tuned for Part 3 of 5 John Allen Mollenhauer is the founder of Performance Lifestyle Solutions - Health and High Performance, for Life™.

A very small % of the population can honestly be called Healthy High Achievers!
What do they do that is so different from the larger % of the population? For one thing they begin with - enough sleep,great NR food and exercise (activity)[good health], which is the foundation!
But they also begin with a different and great mindset!! They focus on their goal - to be successful..!!
The Performance Lifestyle
bridges the gap between Great Health and Success!!
