Healthy High Achiever Blog

Hi All,

It’s a snowy day here in New Jersey. I haven’t seen snow in three years!, It’s exciting. And its Friday… a buffer day for me… meaning I take it slow. I operate from a lightly driven place, so I can start to recuperate my energy from the week and prepare for the weekend.

Yes, you need energy for the weekend. If you’re ever wondering why you’re yawning with the family, or unable to slow down, it’s because you don’t have a performance lifestyle yet, and didn’t recuperate from your week.

So, I’ve gotten questions about Performance Lifestyle and how I describe it in one sentence.

The answer is this…

"A Performance Lifestyle is about how to achieve your goals with your health and well-being intact."

Of course, I could expand on this by adding ideas like, living at or near your ideal weight, sustainably and successfully, fit for the challenges ahead, etc… But if you understand what health and well being means, it’s all included.

What Performance Lifestyle does for you is expand your idea of what it means to live successfully.

Its more than fitness, food and sleep, there’s a much bigger picture and that bigger picture will determine how fit you are, how you eat, how you sleep and more… that bigger picture also needs to be discovered, learned and acted upon.

It’s amazing to me, now at least, how we beat ourselves up at times for not doing this and that better, or sticking to the XYZ program, when our lives and lifestyles are all out of whack. What’s happening is not a lack of motivation; it’s a lack of time, space and energy, and knowledge.

It’s what we call the Achiever’s Paradox - In this “age of achievement,” where we have access to more information and opportunity than at any other time in history, we can accomplish our goals seemingly faster than ever before.

However, we get a paradox… the busier we are, the less time we have to take care of ourselves.

Performance Lifestyle is for achievers – those people who want to get the most out of life and produce their best in everything they do, but not at the expense of their health and wellbeing.

It’s for people who know the many aspects of their life impact on each other and each one needs to be carefully planned and managed if all their goals and aspirations are to be realized.

More soon,

Let’s discuss,
