One of the greatest lesson I have learned on this Journey through life is to learn to stay Open.
Stay Open.
Stay Curious.
Too often in life, we
retract, shut down when life gets tough. It is normal to shrink and protect, it is an automatic response, but to live there is not living.
We are either Expanding or Contraction. There is nothing in between.
In my coaching, I urge my women to always check in...where are you sitting...open or closed?
For clues, look to your
body...are your arms always crossed? Do you have tension in your jaw or head? Do you feel tight and constricted or hard?
Is your tone hard? Your words hard?
Are you feeling short, overwhelmed, just wanting some ease and lightness?
Now, remember a time when you were feeling expansive....how did your body feel? Did it feel
flexible, light?
Our bodies hold all our secrets, our sorrows, our passions and desires.
This is one obstacle to the body losing weight. If you are contracted, so too is your body. And it will register that it is 'not safe' to lose the weight. Sounds crazy but I have seen it a million times, and experienced it in my own health path.
Plus the mind becomes like a steel trap, tight and trying to 'stay in control'. The body follows, and is intimately connected to our thoughts, which are born from our beliefs (most are self limiting).
This is why our Beliefs Detox - Getting the Junk Out exercise is the very first thing we do with every client that comes to work with us. It is vital, and sets the path for a successful body transformation
that sticks!
Plus, they learn to live from that 30,000' view, with ease, gratitude and lightness, with fresh, empowering beliefs that puts the client BACK into alignment with Who They Truly Are....
Because we forget, in the busyness and chaos of life sometimes, and sometimes for years....
Create rituals, and habits that help
you to Stay Open, or to know when you are Closing so you can open...your body, your spirit, your thinking....
Living and moving through life with an Open, Expansive heart creates a healthy body, lean, strong, energized.....
Happy Long Weekend to my Canadian followers.....enjoy!
