Are You Hiding Something Behind Your Success?

Crushed by Comfort?

In the quiet hours past midnight, away from the accolades and applause, lies a truth many of us grapple with.

Meet my client, Lee, a towering figure in the telecom tower construction industry.

At 62, his story unfolds behind closed doors, a narrative shared by many in our circle.

Lee's evenings were marked by binge drinking and late-night suppers - a solace in the solitude of stress.

It's a familiar scene, isn't it?

Seeking comfort in the embrace of habits that, while momentarily soothing, silently erode our health and well-being.

But why should this concern you, a high-achiever in a relentless pursuit of success?

Stress, the uninvited guest in our high-powered lives, often leads us down this path.

It's not just about the physical weight, but the weight of choices made in search of comfort.

The adrenal glands, responding to stress, release cortisol - leading to an increase in appetite and a penchant for unhealthy eating and drinking habits.

The result?

An insidious increase in visceral fat, the kind that wraps around your organs, unlike the less noticeable subcutaneous fat.

This isn't merely about physical appearance.

It's about the unseen inner turmoil that manifests in these habits, putting you at risk of heart disease, diabetes, and more.

And what about those body fat percentages?

For men, a healthy range is 18-24%, and for women, 25-31%. These are more than numbers; they're markers of a hidden battle with stress and its consequences.

Lee's journey from 32% body fat to a healthier 19% wasn't just about physical transformation.

It was about changing the narrative of comfort-seeking habits.

By integrating manageable workouts and healthier eating, he not only reshaped his body but also his business, tripling its value.

A Moment for Reflection:

• As you chase success, do you recognize the unseen battles with stress and comfort-seeking habits?
• What if changing these habits could unlock levels of success and well-being you've yet to imagine?

Share your experiences and thoughts with me and let's connect and explore how we can rewrite your story, moving from comfort-seeking to comfort-achieving.

I'll see you in the next post!
