When "most people" think of changing their lifestyle, they think about improving their health. They have focused so hard and long on success, it’s likely they’ve neglected their health in the process and they are forced to change. This is a common occurrence. I did this in 1990’s and once again, in early 2000, before I understood the full breadth and depth of Performance Lifestyle.

It’s not that people don’t value their health, it’s just that they have don’t understand the role lifestyle plays in their success. Your lifestyle is how you achieve your goals. It’s not a lot of fun experience when you’re living overwhelmed, exhausted and overweight, it makes life a graceless experience and achieving your goals hard.

But so many people live this way, we almost don’t think much of it. Almost as if, it was inevitable. We also don’t think twice about falling for the so-called solutions to the problem, weight loss, diet and exercise programs, many of which can really be "traps" in altruistic disguises. 

First, why do most people get overwhelmed, exhausted, and overweight? 

It’s because most of us achieve our goals in unhealthy ways. We don’t manage our energy well and this leads to all kinds of poor lifestyle decisions in a market that is clearly "duping us for dollars." If you achieve your goals in a way that leaves you overwhelmed, exhausted and overweight, with health complications, you’re not doing so successfully.

Yes, I know the pace of life, I’m faced with it as well, but that’s life and we have to adapt. When you’re put in a position to perform at higher levels you need a lifestyle that reinforces your health and success, or IT WILL ware you down. As the pace of life speeds up, how you live has to change.
