The other day, right after a powerful workout session,as part of a 6:00AM group of busy professionals, I gave a short introductory presentation on Performance Lifestyle -how to get your lifestyle working for you, not against you.

In that 15 minutes we powered through a couple of ideas that had a big impact on everyone involved.

We talked about variety of subjects that I knew were on their mind such as protein, energy and achieving goals…

When the subject of goals came up, and given that I was talking to a group of professionals, I dropped what seemed like a pretty radical idea, at first.

But it sunk in quick…

Even the owner of the health club where we were training, came up to me afterwards and said "that makes so much
sense".

Here’s what I said…

"Weight loss and health are not natural goals"

I then went on to explain that overweight and health complications are’ symptoms of a lifestyle gone awry. In other words, a lifestyle that is overwhelming and exhausting…, not working for you, but rather against you. 

—————————————————————————
Do you have a big goal(s) that requires more energy than you have
right now?

Are you experiencing overwhelm, exhaustion, or the overweight
condition?

Is your lifestyle working against you?

your goals even more successfully!

…When you are living out of balance, overspending your energy, eating nutrient poor food, inactive or over active for that matter, you get symptoms.

And most of the time, those symptoms are lowered energy and increased weight for starters…

I explained that there is nothing wrong with wanting to lose weight and following a program to help you burn fat, but if you don’t get your lifestyle working for you, the problem will persist, even if you ultimately eat less (manipulate your diet) and exercise more.

We went on to talk about "lifestyle" and what it means as the way in which you achieve your goals.

The question I asked was this…

Are you achieving your goals in life, business or sport, in a balanced healthy way, or are you trading your health for success?

If you didn’t catch it, notice I asked, "are you achieving your "goals" in a balanced, healthy way?". I didn’t ask "are you achieving balance and health", because neither are natural goals.

This seemingly little distinction is HUGE!

It means the difference between struggle and flow, between distraction and focus, and whether or not you chase your
tail for the rest of your life seeking energy, your ideal weight and fitness, or not.

It could very well be affecting your personal and professional success in a big way.

You see, healthy high achieving people don’t seek to achieve health, they live healthy to achieve their goals and that’s why they live at or near their ideal weight all the time.

Their lifestyle is working for them.

A perfect example is the way the lifestyle of an athlete helps them achieve their goals in sport.

Unlike athletes though, achievers in other areas of life and business, they tend to trade their health, energy and fitness for success.

Their lifestyle is working against them.

So I introduced the idea of the Healthy High Achiever. I explained to the group, that healthy high achieving people achieve their goals in a balanced, healthy way with the energy and fitness they need to succeed.

They are motivated to get each and every aspect of their lifestyle working for them, so they can achieve their goals even more successfully.

And when they do, they don’t have spend their time trying to deal with distracting symptoms; they can focus on what’s important and exciting to them!

Do you want to learn what Healthy High Achievers know and live by to achieve their goals the way the do?

If so… join this group! !
