Mindful movement sleep7/2/2023 You want to reduce physical tension and become stress resilient How do I know if this will be a good fit for me? this program is for you if I’ve been in your shoes, and I’m sharing what helped me to become resilient, calm in the face of chaos, and ready for a new way to be. People who wake up to the uncertainty of what life will bring that day.įeeling lost, overwhelmed, out of control. i am aware of the millions of people in the world who are facing the reality of their lives changing overnight…. I have come to terms with the reality that I may never be “who I was before” and that is okay.īecause the world needs this version of me: the woman who can help others get out of their own way, to create the lives they are excited to wake up to each morning. this changed my life and opened my eyes to all of the people in my previous position Each day, for months, I woke up thinking “today is the day I get my life back.”Īnd each day, the grief got heavier and heavier….until I got help and started practicing resilience. I’ll spare the details to keep this short(er), but due to my injuries I had to take months off of work, and still (18 months later) have not returned to my previous life. I was rear-ended at a stoplight and my life literally changed overnight. … and, as you may imagine, didn’t have much space for those long-term, “maybe someday” goals. I constantly said “yes” to any request for help, challenge, or commitment. I was engaged in the community as a lululemon ambassador, and I tirelessly pursued continuing education, I assisted a 200-hour yoga teacher training in Kenya, I created community give-back events for nonprofit organizations I volunteered at my husbands Air National Guard base twice a week I ran marathons, hiked, and worked out daily I presented/taught at international health/fitness seminars I taught workshops nationwide for personal trainers through the National Academy of Sports Medicine I had owned my small business for six years, where I helped people reach their health and wellness goals I created the course I wish I had when my life turned upside down.īack in 2018 I was a go-go-go high achiever. Suddenly, it struck me: the world needs this course now. People are uncertain of what life will look like next week, next month, next year. Then COVID19 hit, and everyone around me started searching for ways to grow through this difficult time. More on that later… originally I planned to launch this course next October. I thought that one day, I would magically sit down, write a best-selling book, launch a sold-out course, be fluent in Spanish, and have an organized closet by the end of the day.ĭo you have similar expectations for your big goals?įortunately, I got a kick in the pants from the Universe to just start. I was hesitant to even tell anyone about these big dreams. I thought I had to have a perfect plan and do it alone. I had a few of the big scary goals: Writing a book, launching a course, learning a new language, even cleaning out my closet are all things that require routines (think of a bunch of small steps to achieve a bigger goal) to follow through and finish. I put it off for eons because “I don’t have time” or “I need to take more courses first” or “I don’t know what I want to teach” and I had this fear of “what if no one wants what I have to offer.” in reality, all of these excuses covered up a simple fact: I didn’t have the routines set up to reach my long term goal. You may even convince yourself that you don’t want to do it, because how on earth can you fit one more thing into your busy, full life? I know, because I have been in your shoes.įor me, “it” was teaching an online course. You may be comparing yourself to others who are doing it/have done it/plan to do it. You might be waiting for the right time to do it. The one that is always in the background of your mind and sometimes keeps you up at night. The one that is exciting, scary, and seems like a huge task you don’t even know how or where to start. You know, the one that deep down, you know you are meant to achieve. 30 days of mindful movement what is that big goal you’ve been putting off?
