When mental health speaker and Amazon bestselling author Jeff Yalden recorded Day Nine of his “Attitude of Gratitude” series for The BOOM Podcast, he was in Phoenix, Arizona, for what was to be a grueling series of talks – and his voice was showing signs of strain.
BETTER HEALTH, BETTER PERFORMANCE
Jeff’s program agreement for the two schools in Phoenix listed two school assemblies, but when he arrived, he was astounded to discover that he was to do two assemblies at each school.
“What? I’m speaking four times in one day? No, man – I don’t do that,” he said.
But he has worked for 25 years with teenagers, parents and mental health professionals – and he wasn’t about to let a situation like this get to him.
“What was I going to do – argue the program agreement when I am already out here in Phoenix? The bottom line is that I just had to go with it – and you know what? I went with it,” he said.
Last year, Jeff wouldn’t have been able to do this – but since he had taken major steps to get control of his health and physical well-being, including weight-loss surgery, a healthy diet and regular exercise, he was able to push through the four assemblies with no trouble.
“I’m feeling good, but I’ll tell you, one thing that is hurting [is] my voice. But sometimes you’ve just got to suck it up and do what you’ve got to do – and remember: Lose your ego, open your heart and do the little things that other people aren’t willing to do.”
Do these three things to help improve your health and your performance:
- Get your sleep.
- Get Proper Nutrition
- Get Involved.
Today was an awesome day, although my voice is hurting.”
Better health, better performance.
