Where you are is where you are, you can change that, but you can’t start at any other place.

Starting where you are, you can be/become a Healthy high achiever.

By the way, I bounce back and forth between the words "be" and "become", because on one hand, you can start to think and live like a Healthy High Achiever right now regardless of where you are starting from. By the same token, I understand that we are all in a state of becoming as our awareness expands and we go to new levels. 

When and if you try to start at too high a level, you will fall back due to lack of mental, emotional and physical support. We see this all the time when people (particularly high achievers) try to go from couch potato (deep in a downward trend) to fitness boot camp over night or try to achieve significant goals in life, business or sport before they have the life structure set up and lifestyle in play to support them.

Some people with strong reserves can make that happen, but many can’t, and if they do, their momentum is often short lived for the reasons I mention below.

There is power in acknowledging where you are, but not accepting it as the way things are or always have to be. When you change your lifestyle (how you think and how you live) it’s the law of universe, that where you are will change too.

Is it hard to get into a Performance Lifestyle and Live like a Pro?

The answer is no, it really is simple and you can adjust your course this way, this minute. Though it can be challenging (not always easy) at times, for those who are living a downward trending lifestyle caught up in overwhelm, exhaustion, and fatigue.

Yes it is allot easier to live a lifestyle that works for you than to live one that works against you, but it can be challenging for the period of time it takes to learn the concepts and change your course… this is called transitioning, so don’t be in too much of rush.

Sometimes our habits of thinking are ingrained and we think that "who we are", but in reality it’s simply "where" we are and that change. You are not your thoughts.

A Performance Lifestyle is only challenging IF/ When:

1) You don’t know how to change course

2) You are facing your true condition in the process of the change

3) You don’t have a reason bigger than weight loss and living healthy to inspire you through the transition.

But keep this in mind… because a Performance Lifestyle gives merit to those steps you need to take to make taking other steps easier, refraining from calling them "excuses", even the challenges get easier, because you are able to perform better.

See the True Excuses post.

You can feel good even when you’re not taking massive action on the typical stuff, like working out.

You can’t fail, you’re not set up that way.

To take your lifestyle to the next level all you need to do is learn the defacto Performance Lifestyle formula.
