I recall the first time I experienced my 'aha' moment...witnessing the power of my mind. I had just fled a toxic relationship, and was hiding out at my sister's place in another
province (he was a bit dangerous so I had to keep my whereabouts private). Although it was a crazy, messed up relationship (drugs, physical abuse), I was still very sad when I ended it. Yeah, I know...sounds crazy but I wasn't as confident back then, and my choice of men was, well, a little off, shall we
say. So I thought (naturally), that going back to the gym would fuel my spirit and help me to feel better. But when I sat and started doing dumbell shoulder presses....I couldn't lift my usual 25 lbs. I was soooo weak! I thought 'what the heck is going
on?' So I picked 20 pounds, then down to 15 pound dumbells! Stick with me on this...there's a reason for my story... And that was when it hit me: I was in heartache over the split, and it was playing out in my body. I
remember saying 'my heart is broken and I think my body is too.' Not physically, but energetically. Weird. But that began my whole 'connection' between the body and the spirit (and my walk into the metaphysical world of energy, intention and the human condition,
really). Yeah, I'm woo woo (I am, after all, living on an Island off the coast of BC, Canada). What I know for sure is that if the spirit is weak and hurting, it can manifest as aches and pains, digestion issues, or going deeper, manifesting as as procrastination, a lack of motivation, checking out with food, social media
etc. As one woman said on a Strategy call today...'it's like I'm trying to fill a hole inside of me." BAM! That's it. She's got it. So now what? Knowing and doing are two very different
things... We can float above ourselves with all the literature, all the self help books, and know intellectually what's holding us back, but like this dear woman on the call, never get any real change to happen. Because her 'stories' continued to run the show. She knew it intellectually, but she felt powerless to change
it. She had been living there for 40 years..... 40 Years! And while she was older and wiser, she was still in that energy, living from her past. She needed a reframe, to craft a New Identity for
herself. And this most certainly cannot come from another self help book. Or a therapist alot of the time (she has been in therapy for YEARS). And oh yeah, she was seeing her once a month. Once a
month! And she wonders why she binges, why she doesn't stay motivated to train. Why she gained 30 pounds in a few short months. It ain't cortisol, or hormones or ageing. It's deeper than
that. She needs to shift within.... Because everything is an inside job. And this is when real coaching matters. And you can't 'coach' yourself. Much like you can't tickle yourself. So if you're up for a dose of reality. And you're a little but curious and open.... Book a complimentary call with me. It won't hurt. I promise. It will likely be the most enlightening and freeing experience you've had in years. And we can wipe away years of self-limiting beliefs and poor habits that have kept you away from crafting your Best
