If This Applies To You........

Listen, I know it's hard. I know it feels hard sometimes, especially when we are high energy and the world looks bright and positive, and then for whatever reason we get distracted and one little thing can break our momentum, and then we give up, at least for the day, waiting until the next day for more energy and motivation.

Remember what it's like when nothing can get in our way? Like your bike ride last night, you made the time for what was more important.

We tend to do things that make us feel good, and being in our bodies when we feel heavy and unhealthy is not a place we like to hang out. So your bike ride was a huge "win" because you chose to reconnect with your body when you had so-called valid excuses not to.

It's no coincidence you haven't made the time to talk with me, only you know what you're avoiding. I don't chase anyone down, it's not my job to try and force anyone to possibly look at things they don't want to....I can't even force myself to look at things that I let get in my way.

Being of a healthy bodyweight is more than swinging a kettlebell. When you first had the idea that maybe I could be the one to help you, by simply writing a KB routine, or suggesting a diet for you, instead of looking inside yourself for the answers. I don't know why God, The Universe, whoever, or whatever gave me this particular way of connecting with people, all I know is that we all have the potential to love our bodies and ourselves, by respecting our health, and maybe that love and respect can only be appreciated after suffering the loss of it.

Can you imagine what health feels like? Can you remember? Remember the freedom? How long has it been? Do me a favor until next time we talk.....remember that freedom of health. Remember.....even if you were 4 years old at the time. No worries about food, no worries about how we looked, not a care in the world. Everytime you move toward health you move toward freedom. I know you felt it on your bike ride, especially after your bike ride, looking back at how uncomfortable it was going to be, but ending feeling good. Feeling good because although you have not reached your true potential, you still chose to reach for it. And guess what.....you got it! You get it everytime you reach.

The important thing is you keep reaching, because, even though you shoot for the moon and miss, you still land among the stars. Keep shooting, keep reaching, and remember......
