“Performance” and Vitality

“Performance” seems to be a hot topic.

Brands like 2XU, sports supplement brands, shoe technology… these guys have it covered.

For whom are you performing?

For many, this little thoguht seed turns into a sprint. A 90 day plan for performance, or to “level up” the output.

However, a sprint is nothing if you are exhausted at the end. The long game is the only one worth playing.

This brings us to Vitality. This is the abundance, the connection, the vibrancy and the love.

Performance without vitality is a sports car, or a computer processor. Furthermore, we can’t “perform” in the realm of vitality – as it is a non-competitive domain. There is no judge or prize over there.

The coming together of the two is the human approach. To do our best in having consistent, high level output in our work, plenty of potential in our bodies and yet greater connection, energy, compassion and love as a human.

Society has been over-conditioned on the performance side of the coin. This leads to lethargy, burnout, anxiety and disconnection.

We need to re-visit the basics of vitality in order to thrive.
