Healthy High Achiever Blog

Another day, another round of obesity statistics flying around the Internet, this time in my home state. I’ve never seen NJ ever singled out for obesity rates.

Why is this happening?

Well it’s because we don’t understand the real problem… the downward energy trend.  

Eating less and exercising more don’t solve this problem they make life harder. It’s no wonder most people don’t do it and millions of attempts at "sticking with the program" just fail. Human beings don’t like to stick to programs.

All the discussion about fat loss and weight loss are great, but if you don’t have a lifestyle reinforcing your health and success, you have a problem will continue to chase your tail.

Part 1 of 5

As you’ve learned, Performance Lifestyle is not an addiction to performing for the wrong reasons. So let’s begin talking about what Performance Lifestyle is.

For starters, you’ll here me talking about Performing "well" often… that’s a very different term.   

After years of promoting health and fitness information, addressing the common problems we suffer, from low energy, to weight issues and poor health, and seeing people basically stay on the same merry go round, despite short-term success, I began to realize there was something missing…

…a central message that would explain why only a small segment of the population (3% or so) stays on top of their game, looking, feeling and performing "well" and achieving their goals successfully. Meanwhile, the larger majority of the population who may also be succeeding, financially etc, struggles with diet and weight issues, long-term health and well being issues and above all, low energy.

That central message is Performance Lifestyle.

You’d have to be living under a rock not to be seeing (or experiencing) all the buzz about "overwhelm", "multi tasking" and its impact on our performance, "how the pace of life has sped up" and our quality of life is deteriorating, how "obesity and disease rates are climbing", and last but certainly not least, how "we’re so exhausted, we don’t have enough energy left over for our sex lives…" -

Now that is a problem!

The pace of life (if you’re all caught up) is kicking our asses and the way we’re responding to the stress is not making matters better. Yes …we’re not getting enough sleep, eating junk food, and physically inactive. But for starters, it’s the perfect environment for performance addiction to get worse and that’s the villian in this story. 

The solutions have been, "Reduce stress, get more sleep, eat less and exercise more". Yeah, yeah, yeah… yeah. Doing these things on purpose may help you get healthy "er", but unless you arrive there in a normal and natural way, all of these things (which are outcomes), can be traps of epic proportions, guaranteed to keep you chasing your tail.

But you already know that don’t you? Maybe not.

People living Performance Lifestyle’s, whom we call "Healthy High Achievers", don’t buy into impotent solutions. They see things very differently.

Stay tuned for Part 2 of 5

What gives the Performance Lifestyle its unity and power? It’s about achieving your goals, successfully. It’s what we’re all driven to do.

The key is to expand your idea of what "successfully" means. This is what Performance Lifestyle Training offers; an understanding of the "missing link" between where you are and your vision for where you want to be and how to get their sucessfully.

After working with thousands of people, it’s clear we need to learn how to achieve our goals in life and business without sacrificing our health and fitness. We’re going to do that together by learning the never-before-assembled lifestyle success skills and strategies of Healthy High Achievers. Including but not limited to, athletes and those whom we admire for how much they accomplish and achieve, while looking, feeling and performing incredibly well.
 
Performance Lifestyle training does not focus you on losing weight or even getting fit. These are two results, but not the primary focus when it comes to your lifestyle working for you and the acheivement of your goals.

Overweight and out of shape are symptoms of a lifestyle gone awry; that’s not working for you, that’s out of balance and off course. And if you think diet and exercise alone will solve the problem, you’ll come up short, just like millions of people are right now heroically eating less and exercising more to deal with symtoms of a problem they don’t understand.

The missing link between where you are and where you want to be is "your lifestyle". I know that may sound cliche, but it’s nonetheless effective. We have not been trained to understand what it means to have a successful lifestyle, which we need, to acheive our goals successfully. We have been trained, but our training has our thinking askew.

In the upcoming "Age of Achievement" Manifesto you’re going to learn about the missing link, your lifestyle, and a nuance about lifestyle that’s going to change your life, body, even your business for the better!
   
Too many people attempt to achieve their goals in ways that are unhealthy, and because they are unhealthy they are unable to achieve their goals. They simply can’t perform. And if they do, it comes at such a cost, they can’t recover. They pay with their life. Performance Lifestye changes this, focused on your health AND success.  

We have gone to great lengths to bring the defacto lifestyle success skills and strategies together in the Performance Lifestyle Formula. Get ready to become a Healthy High Achiever and unleash the full potential of your lifestyle to look, feel and perform beter and achieve your goals successfully.

Yes, you will lose weight and look great, but trumping both of those, you will gain the energy you need, to succeed.

Yes, it is.

It takes time, like anything else, but it is simple. The problem is, most people and I mean the majority of people don’t understand the problem. That’s why they have so much trouble solving it.

In today’s day and age, "solutions" are often not solutions to a problem.

Take the problem of weight loss. Fat Loss, weight loss, losing weight… what ever you want to call it, is of course, not the problem but an important thing to consider as the symptom. There are many solutions to the problem of how to lose weight, but these solutions almost never solve the problem. They may be dealing with one of the consequences of poor lifestyle, like eating poorly or lack of exercise, but they still don’t solve the problem.

Lack of exercise and eating poorly are part of the problem, but not the problem.

How you manage your energy is a big missing piece of the problem and it goes even deeper than that. By the way, if you think Personal Energy Management is "woo woo" or somthing you can’t grasp at the moment, it’s no wonder you "may" be suffering from the overweight condition.  This is what it’s all about and I’m not just talking about sleep. 

Do you want to solve the problem of being overweight? Then you’ve got to understand lifestyle. Lifestyle Training is the new weight loss program, because it actually solves the problem.

There is a big difference between the two.

Lifestyle coaching deals with the reality of your life situation and the causes of why you are living in such a way that promotes the overweight condition (the most obvious symptom), and a weight loss program see’s the consequences as "the cause" and attempts to solve the symptom without getting to the root of the problem.

Food and fitness are NOT the root of the problem! 

In many respects, overeating nutrient poor foods, and lack of physical activity are themselves symptoms of the real problem, which is overwhelm and exhaustion. Even overwhelm and exhaustion are symptoms of an deeper problem. That’s what you need to discover and that’s what Life / Lifestyle coaching and training is all about and Performance Lifestyle Training and Group Coaching get’s to this level.

In today’s day and age, we all need lifestyle coaching and lifestyle training, not weight loss programs. Permanent fat loss is a direct result of life style, not a diet program, which is not a lifestyle, even though living with that mindset is becoming a lifestyle for many people; an unsuccessful one. It’s all about your mindset.

This is a big distinction to make.

Do you think it’s hard dealing with the real problem? No, it’s simply, not always easy but powerful and effective. Any other solution is a temporary and lingering band aid. You need to coordinate all aspects of your lifestyle to get the outcomes that you want, including but not limited to, food and fitness.

This is Performance Lifestyle…

Do you want to lose the need to lose weight?

Are you aware that your lifestyle is either working for you or against you every minute of the day?

Most people are not aware of this, content to know that they worked out or made a better food choice (both are which are great) but don’t begin to touch the surface of what’s possible for you. Don’t feel bad if this is you, most of us, don’t have a broad enough concept beyond eating better (not Less) and exercising more, associated to lifestyle, to take full advantage of the power they really have.

Healthy high achievers do.

Becuase they do, they are able to unleash the full potential of their lifestyle to look, feel and perform better, meanwhile most other people sit and wonder, "how the heck do they do it?" It’s what you don’t see that makes the difference.

Unleashing the full potential of your Lifestyle is the missing link that makes the difference between suffering from the diet, weight and the long term health issues that so many people struggle with, and looking feeling and performing the way you want to.

Get ready to lose the need to lose weight. It’s not that you’ll never want to take off a few pounds here and there… weight fluctuates, it’s a fact of life and it’s easy to do in a healthy way. I’m talking about not having to lose significant amounts of weight and go through body transformation programs over and over again.

This can become a thing of the past when you understand Performance Lifestyle.
