Clari is one of my “rock star”
clients. She has been training with me for several months, and she puts her all
into every single session, as well as her independent workouts. She has made
incredible strides both physically, and, as you are about to learn, mentally
and emotionally. I am honored to share her story and words of wisdom with you
here:
“The biggest obstacle to any kind of
transformation is the voice that tells you it’s impossible.” ~Geneen Roth, Women Food and God
I am a spirit on the journey to my guided mission on earth! I did not
know that until recently; well it was not fully in my conscious, anyway. What I
did know was I was in a battle field where my self- sabotaging mind was telling
me that this was the body I was meant to have. Worn down and on a road to
Diabetes. This was it! So I would lose weight and gain it back on a binge of
self-hating thoughts that would turn into Cheesecake Factory apple pie at
9:30pm. “What is wrong with me?” I thought. “How could I do this to myself?” So
began the cycle (again) of getting back on the band wagon of doing the best I
could with the food available around me. How did I change this? How can we all
change this?
America is sick to its core with the
poison pumped into our brains through constant media coverage. But what they
don’t tell you on those quick fix commercials is how to change and level up your
mind to be ready for the evolution we want our bodies to step into. They don’t
tell you about the hard work, the self-love development, the spiritual journey,
or the blood, sweat, and tears one must “suffer” to gain the rewards we seek.
Our minds, hearts and bodies must be in total alignment with the goal we want
to reach. It’s not easy, and whomever tells you differently is lying.
There is a choice: The road you
choose to total body wellness or the
default life of sticking anything you want in your mouth and paying the price.
That price was getting too high for me. So I chose to change everything. Starting with the voice in
my head that said, “Relax, we’ll go to the gym later,” or “Just ask for fries.
What does it matter?” or “Your doctor doesn’t know how you would suffer
sacrificing so much.” Change the voice that you let guide you and you will
change your life. The body and the mind are intimately connected; anything you
are doing is a result of a thought and with practice you can override the
system that tells you (like it told me) “you will be fat forever.”
Some steps you can take to level up
your inner voice are:
Meditate: I find since I have
started to create a quiet space for my thoughts, through meditation, I can
notice when my thoughts are working against the body I am seeking to create.
Hunger Awareness: Sometimes we eat
from the place of our emotions. When I am seeking love or approval, naturally I
want ice cream, I am conscience of that. Asking yourself, “What am I
really ‘hungry’ for?” brings awareness and connection to your consciousness
about what experiences we are longing for in that moment. This makes us
acknowledge and be aware of our emotional needs and can help stop you from the
setback of emotional eating.
Finally and most importantly have a
powerful goal in mind of your body transformation. The first time I met Nicole,
I told her this and I keep it on my mind every day: “I want to sculpt the body of a
goddess.” Create and describe an empowering image of the body you seek to
create. Write it down for more power and keep it in your mind on your journey.
So far I have lost upwards of 20 pounds
since I have started and what I know now is that without my head in the game, I
would never have progressed this far. So get your head in the game or you’ll be
right back where you started!
