Fun is the greatest performance enhancer. And Erling Haaland is showing us how and why:

Before taking on Brazil, Erling Haaland told his teammates: "No matter what happens just smile and enjoy it. Just live in the moment because we did everything we can... just enjoy playing football."

Then he scored twice and Norway knocked out a 5-time World Cup champion...

Haaland is having a blast. He's known as the "smiling assassin," joking around with teammates and opponents before unleashing. Days before the biggest game of his life, a World Cup quarterfinal against England, Haaland was spotted golfing in Florida.

Some fans were annoyed. Shouldn't the joint-top scorer at the World Cup be locked in?

They're missing the point...

Haaland is one of the most dedicated athletes on the planet. He calls himself a 24/7 athlete, with 10 hours of sleep a night, blue-light glasses to help out, saunas, ice baths, you name it. The man treats recovery like a profession.

The golf and the jokes sit on top of one of the most disciplined operations in sport. And that's the point...dedication and fun work in concert.

Our image of elite performers is often one of stoic seriousness. We mistake being serious for being dedicated.

They are not the same thing. And confusing them has consequences.

I conducted a survey of 2,000+ performers, including Olympic medalists, pro athletes from every major sport, actors, and more.

When did they perform best? Performing out of a place of joy, fun, and curiosity beat stoic, serious, gritting it out 11 to 1.

When I asked what advice these world-class performers would give their younger self? "Enjoy it, have fun, don't take it so seriously" dominated. Only a single person in the entire survey said to be more serious.

When asked why they compete, Joy/fun was the number one response by far.

Psychologist Robert Vallerand found this out decades ago. He found that nearly all performers have passion. But there are two kinds.

Obsessive passion: your self-worth is on the line, you NEED to win.

Harmonious passion: you love it, it fits your life, mastery.

Both could lead to elite performance, but obsessive tended to lead to burnout and a growing fear of failure.

Joy is an expansive emotion. It frees us up, we get to explore our potential and play to win. Just look at a toddler...You know the best way to get them out of losing it tantrum mode? Curiosity.

If you get them curious about something, a funny noise, flickering light, etc. the tantrum fades.

Curiosity is the antidote to fear and losing it. It opens up to explore. That's the basis of fun.

It's why you see Eliud Kipchoge smiling at mile 23 of the marathon. Or Steph Curry smiling on the free throw line...

They understand that while for some baring down may work. For far too many, it pushes us into do or die mode. And despite what you hear on social media, very few perform well there.

It's a mistake I saw all the time as a coach. The tight, grim athlete who trained perfectly and raced terribly

Far too often, we think that if they are laughing around, joking, smiling, it means they aren't serious, that they don't care.

That's BS. Fun is the fuel. It's what allows us to be locked-in without tension.

It's the nuance that sprint coach Bud Winter noticed decades ago to sprint your fastest, you have to give maximum effort while relaxed.

It's the same here. To be dedicated, to get locked-in, we have to have fun doing it.

It's what puts us in seeking mode, hunting for goals with teammates we care about because that's what we know and love to do.

Fun is the best performance enhancer there is. We knew this as kids. Go back there.

Or just listen to my 3 year old...when she saw Haaland, she asked "Is that Elsa's brother?" That might be the best theory for his superpowers we get...

After 3 decades of listening to his doctors, my father ended up with diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.

After 3 years of listening to his son, my father ended up 40lbs lighter and cancer-free.

Here are 39 health secrets his doctors forgot to tell him:

1. Stop doing diets that have a name.

2. Carbs don't make you fat - too many calories do.

3. Your physical health and mental health are not two separate things - they are reflections of one another.

4. The only *permanent* hack to drink less alcohol is to build a life so good you no longer feel the need to escape it.

5. Working out 3-5 days/wk is more sustainable long term than 6-7 days/wk.

6. The only equipment you *need* is your body.

7. Drinking diet Coke is significantly healthier than drinking regular Coke.

8. Resistance training is far superior to cardio for fat loss.

9. The only “diet” that works is a high-protein one.

10. Eating protein before carbs is the easiest way to crave less carbs.

11. Skipping workouts to spend more time with your family shortens your time on earth with your family.

12. Self-deprecating humor is a sign that you are not mentally healthy.

13. Exercise is a documented antidepressant - use it as such.

14. Most hunger scares can be cured by drinking water.

15. Sodium is not killing you it is keeping you alive.

16. Your habits make you fat not the “fat gene”.

17. Constantly wearing running shoes weakens your feet, core, and lower back.

18. Train your back and your core 2x as much as everything else.

19. Wear blue light glasses or put your phone in “night mode” to improve your sleep quality.

20. Take cold showers or ice baths periodically to increase your stress tolerance.

21. Cardio is less about fat loss and more about strengthening your heart and mind.

22. Eating your protein first will prevent you from overeating elsewhere.

23. Nuts are not a “healthy” snack. They are high fat, high calorie, and easy to overeat.

24. Lifting weights is the most effective workout method to lower your body fat percentage and improve your health.

25. Just because something is “vegan” does not mean it’s healthy.

26. Intermittent fasting is not a magic pill. It works because you eat less food.

27. Working out is not just for looks. Your body is the temple of God and you should honor it as such.

28. Stop waiting till your next doctor's visit to weigh yourself. You can’t manage a problem you avoid confronting. Weigh yourself daily instead.

29. Having no routine on the weekends is saying your goals don’t matter 29% of the time.

30. Turn the room temperature down to 68 degrees or lower at night. We fall asleep faster in colder environments.

31. Eat slower. It gives your body time to secret Leptin, the “I’m full” hormone.

32. Find an active hobby you enjoy and participate in it regularly.

33. Stop picking up your phone as soon as you wake up. Mindless morning scrolling starts the day off with unnecessary stress. Wait 30 minutes to check your phone instead.

34. Stop sleeping on your side, it deteriorates your shoulder health over time. Sleep on your back instead.

35. Don’t drink coffee as soon as you wake up - but don’t drink coffee in the afternoon either. Both extremes mess up your hormones.

36. Men operate on a 24-hour hormone cycle. Our drive is highest in the morning. Take advantage of this and work out before your family wakes up.

37. Mindless snacking is less about hunger and more about your lack of emotional control.

38. I’ve never seen anyone keep the weight off long-term without accountability outside of themselves. Share your goals with other men.

39. Motivation is fleeting - you must establish proper default actions to actually be consistent.

@WhichMedical @BSIR_News Hanaro Stent or TaeWoo biliary stents. Easy delivery and good radial strength

[Yazmin @minyaacob]

@chrisboettcher9 Yes agree some examples of protein rich but not fat or carb heavy would be great. Greek yoghurt? Simple and easy would be bonus.

[Yazmin @minyaacob]

@Mangan150 Is this a trick question?

[Yazmin @minyaacob]

@DGHisham @arshwin_nair Healthcare (funding and budget) is a political decision. You want to be popular with the public. Doctors are held by large bonds so they can’t go anywhere but feel demoralised.
Good primary healthcare, good health policies and good economy should revive our situation. 😬
