Did my last post miss the mark?

"Your email re Heath Ledger and Energy Management, in my opinion, is missing the “mark”.  Heath had many issues that were way beyond Energy Management.  Although your observation is acknowledged as part of the issue.  He had deep rooted psychological issues and, in my opinion, needed serious therapy."

Best regard,

Randy

JAM response -

I don’t attest to knowing Heath Ledgers situation first hand, so its important to say that I am sharing observations regarding Heath and his cause of death that seem obvious.

I agree with Randy on this one. It depends on how you look at it. Randy is looking at the deeper causes of poor energy management which are surely psychological.

Point noted Randy…

He likely had psychological issues (many of us do;-)). My point was not one of exclusivity, or ultimate cause, but overwhelm and exhaustion is clearly a cause/effect that prompted his overdose. I was referring to the article and his comments about his current condition.

The true basis of a Performance Lifestyle is emotional fitness and psychological strength without which, managing your energy like a pro can be very difficult.

I have learned from much study and personal first hand experience that when you combine psychological issues that negatively affect how you perceive and live in the world, with overwhelm and exhaustion… you have a disastrous combination.

If you combine that downward trending duet with a cloudy or unclear vision of the future, it’s very hard to move forward (achieve your goals) with your health and wellbeing in tact.
