Elevated Foundations: Coaching Solutions

Ecstatic Dance. Where else can you dance besides going to a bar or wedding? It's almost a lost art. Luckily brings the movement to Maryville.

This is a judgment free zone where we can be like kids, our most sacred self again. Unafraid to dance and play, however you want to embody your body.

Your expression is art. Paint your emotions into the air and floor with your limbs. Shake your b***y or just sit in the frequency of freedom within the room. There is no pressure to look like anyone else.

Bring some small snacks for potluck so we can ground ourselves afterwards and enjoy each other's company. See you there!

So very cliche this time of year, but I need reminders too that it is always good to hit pause, rest, reflect, and renew or reinvent your direction. This holiday season has left me with less time than in the past with a pipe freezing and my ceiling falling in on Christmas and the stress, excitement, drudgery of cleaning the mess, and the shuffling of schedules to accommodate adjusters, plumbers, contractors, and electricians.

Ya, my hands were full!!

Being able to now take time and reaffirm where I am going and why I am here writing this is helpful. I chose coaching because I wanted to help others in the way that I would have valued through some of my tougher times. It is also a way to support my own goals of continued education and investing in myself. With each new client I learn more about life and how interconnected we all are on this wonderful journey!

So, what am I reaffirming, exactly? That, yes, each day, week, month, even hour is a chance to start over and make a new beginning, but that there are times that, although cliche, weigh heavier on us. Whether that weight be from pressure of things undone, or pressure of things to redirect to, the pressure is there this time of year.

So, even after 3 years of coaching, I am still working on my new beginnings and my renewal of direction. One of the reasons that I have a deep desire to help others that may not feel supported in with their health, weight, stress, or the degree of complication that is embedded in their lives, is because these are things that I still work on and at times struggle with.

Well, although my life isn’t perfect and I don’t always know what direction I am supposed to go, I also have faith that with movement comes change. I know that as I find ways to move that make me happy (martial arts, yoga) and as I take time to hit pause and meditate, learn, and grow, that the steps that I am taking daily, no matter how small, are moving me in a positive direction, even if I temporarily get derailed.

When I finally got that chance to hit pause after the holidays and to think about how and where I am going, I also was able to realize that this too is in flux and will change and that the best resolution that I can have is to be kind to myself daily. Kind when I make it happen, and kind when I have struggled and not achieved. The best part is that I am engaged and cutting my own path and I will one day be at the top of the mountain looking down and appreciating that my efforts, whether they came easy or were struggled for, are why I am able to be there in the first place.

Buying apps and programs, joining challenges and free trials, meal plans, meal deliveries, portioning... food and exercise...

OVERWHELM...

AND still not able to form or keep a routine or finish a program/trial/free intro... Still not loosing weight and still frustrated with your body and your health.

Does any of that sound familiar?

It's a common trap you can easily fall into without realizing it. You want to change and try to start with good intentions and before you know it, you feel overwhelmed, disappointed in yourself, overworked and burnt out!

The good news is, there's a solution that's so simple you'll probably fall over when you see it.

LISTEN TO YOURSELF!!

Yep, it's that simple!
Lack of trusting in your innate knowledge is what holds us back from achieving our goals more than anything else. Who knew!

When you listen to the knowledge that you have within you you can understand and clearly define parameters around…

- What you will and will not do

- What you will and will not accept from friends and in your life

- The actions you will commit to every week

- When you are willing to do specific actions each day

…you’ll gain control over your habits and have 100% confidence that your actions will lead to results.

My client was constantly buying new programs because they believed that others would know more about how to fix them then they did.

Once we identified why she was looking for answers we were able to take time and listen to her inner knowledge around her health and well being so that she can still utilize the programs and services that benefit her and her well being and make personal progress and feel nurtured not tortured.

It's a total WIN-WIN! And all from taking time to listen to your inner voice…you are so WORTH THE TIME!!!

We spend so much time trying to avoid failure. Right? I mean, no one ever goes into something thinking, "Gee, I really hope I fail at this."

Still, failure is part of success and comes with it.

I have learned that knowing a thing and being successful at it are two different things and that just because you were able to do something once does not mean that the next time is always easier.

Take my weight for example. I know a good deal about health and wellness (I did get a degree in it...) but the way that my body deals with life (stress, chronic illness, etc..) right now I am not the same physical person that I was when I began my health and wellness journey. I have always been in a battle with my weight and dealing with chronic gut issues and (at times, overwhelming) stress has taken a toll. Getting to m y previous weight of discontent would be exciting for me right now.

But for all of this I also know that I listen to my body, I know that I cannot force thinness and that I need more than just my weight to be a certain number to be a truly balanced and healthful person. It is in my attitude and my honoring of my situation and what my body needs from me that I have found solace in not physically being the person I once was.

I also know that regardless of progress seen or unseen, I still benefit from doing things that are healthful and will nurture my body, mind, and soul. I still choose healthy foods, I exercise within my body's tolerances, I meditate, pray and take time to understand. and I listen to my body.

I am getting older, I am not in the shape or condition that I once was, I have limitations, I have setbacks with health and flairs, but I know that by continuing to move toward success, I will always be one step ahead of truly failing.

If it's worth having, it's worth going after!

Keep going!

Weight management is not always just watching what you eat and going into a calorie defect whilst exercising more. Sometimes the best thing you can to is take stock of where you are, what your body is telling you and learn how to work together to continue on the journey towards your best self.

Today is a joint pain day for me... I had to ask myself why... and then thought about the issue that we (humans) face when trying to have a conversation about things that are troubling us.... We tend to get told answers and things we should or shouldn't do rather than having a space to discuss how we feel or what we notice about ourselves and our situations.... If you are looking for that space, I would love to have a conversation with you!!
