As human beings, we all have a unique story to tell, shaped by our experiences, struggles, failures, and ultimately, our triumphs. It is through understanding change and embracing our own stories that we can unlock our full potential and lead a fulfilling life.
Driven by passion and a thirst for achievement, I have always been committed to living a purposeful life. My journey has led me to recognize the significance of personal development in maintaining a sense of fulfillment. By valuing what I have and staying true to myself, I have learned to trust my instincts and embrace my authentic positivity. I believe that I have the power to make a positive difference in the world, and I am far from done in my pursuit of that mission.
Embracing the journey of change is like discovering a new path within yourself. Just like a Pilates movement that challenges your core, change forces you to adapt and strengthen from within. As women navigating through transformations, we're not just reshaping our bodies; we're redefining our strength and resilience.
My Pilates studio slogan “do what moves you” has affected others and me on a larger scale, not just as we move our bodies and flex our muscles. We must all adapt and evolve over time. Over the last three years, I've undergone significant physical changes, particularly due to menopause. This period of transition has been quite challenging, especially as I relocated to a different country. In navigating this journey, I've encountered obstacles beyond just language barriers as I sought holistic medical treatments.
I used to be incredibly physically fit, capable of running, swimming, and mountain biking for hours every day. However, it suddenly changed overnight to only being able to do these activities for 2-3 hours a month.
Changing from healthy to unwell.
Changing from physically fit and muscular to pretty soft around the edges, and transitioning from high energy levels to primarily walking from the couch to the bed.
Changing from being fully in charge to emotional difficulties that would plummet on the best of days…
Changing from the need to be surrounded by people and noise to no one at all and silence please.
Through all of these changes – difficult as it may – I have learnt that change is needed! Change is inevitable for growth, without change, we cannot move forward! Change enables us to form new habits! Change creates possibilities for us to transform mindsets and connect at a deeper level. Change brings healing, on a physical and emotional level.
Changes should be celebrated!
Without change, I never would be able to just be, just breathe, just balance.
Without change, I never would have rediscovered my servant heart.
Without change this radian renewal within me would not have happened.
How are you dealing with change? Does it frighten you, like it did me, for so long?
Or are you ready to embrace change and connect, grow and flourish!
Let me know!
