Short Redefinition
The true objective is to live and achieve at a high level—without losing the connection to your authentic Self or burning yourself out due to a lifestyle that’s supposed to support you.
Long Redefinition
In the Performance Lifestyle® system, this phrase defines the two most destructive consequences of modern ambition—and the core outcomes the system is designed to prevent.
- Burning yourself out means driving yourself (body/brain) into energy debt by pushing harder than your biology can sustain. It’s the result of living out of sync with your body’s needs for recovery, nourishment, sleep, and replenishment.
- Losing yourself (lowercase ‘s’) refers to the slow decline that occurs when your lifestyle becomes a source of overwhelm, overstimulation, under-recovery, poor nourishment, and sedentary stress…. This is not just about feeling “off.” It’s a process of physical, mental, and emotional degeneration that can lead to fatigue-related conditions, loss of function, and eventually lifestyle-induced diseases.
- Losing your Self (capital S) means forgetting or disconnecting from your true nature as intelligent, creative energy. It happens when you identify solely with your personality, roles, or performance outcomes—and lose access to the deeper source of clarity, power, and peace that powers sustained success.
A Performance Lifestyle solves all three.
It helps you regenerate your life force, reconnect to your true Self, and align your lifestyle with your goals—so the way you live fuels, rather than sabotages, the results you seek.
