Yesterday I met up with Jennifer, a past client of mine that had jumped into my coaching program 6 years ago.
I know I know, a lifetime ago!
This woman puts a smile on everyone’s face, she’s THAT woman who’s so happy it’s contagious.
When Jennifer decided to invest in herself 6 years ago, her main goal was to “tone up” and feel incredibly confident and sexy for her beach wedding in Cuba.
The BIG day!
What I admired about Jennifer right from the start was her excitement and eagerness to transform her health and her body, the thought of it made her feel joy not anxiety. There wasn’t desperation in her energy, which I must admit was surprising because I know how much pressure brides-to-be can put on themselves to look “perfect.”
It’s hard not to feel stressed OUT about your wedding day, I get it!
As I got to know her more and more, Jennifer continued to be a dream client and joy to work with. AND a few months later she married the man of her dreams on the beach in Cuba! She FELT and looked absolutely beautiful, what a gift she gave herself.
I remember the conversations we had before and after her wedding, it’s palpable even now, 6 years later..
She FELT like a rock star, like the sexiest women to ever live, confident as a queen, and happy as can be.
I think of her often because when you go all in, and make your transformation FUN and exciting, the results last a lifetime….
So lets go back to yesterday, when her and I met for coffee.
Jennifer told me she’s still living healthy AND she’s now starting her own business from home. Yeah girl! As we reminisced about her wedding, she leaned over to me from across the table and showed me a picture on her phone. It was her in her wedding dress, just a few DAYS ago, and it still fit her perfectly, woo-hoo!
AND, what adds to that win is she’s had a few babies in the past few years.
THIS GIRL IS ON FIRE! (I agree Alicia Keys:)
When a woman commits to her own worthiness and takes responsibility for her health, she’s unstoppable.
THIS is what I want for all women, to make healthy living a LIFESTYLE, to make feeling confident, worthy, creative, and joyful LAST. Yo-yo diets, exercise fads and following the latest health trends don’t work. When you have a plan that’s tailored to you and built on a foundation pleasure instead of restriction, that’s when you’ll see REAL lasting results.
Being consistent is SO hard for so many people. Why did it work for Jennifer?
Because she’s living a healthy lifestyle based on freedom. It’s simple. It doesn’t have to be painful or full of sacrifice. And when you choose to move your body and eat well, you don’t have to EFFORT so much to release weight or keep it off.
And it all starts with your self-worth, how much value do you you put on your own life?
Live Inspired,
Sonja
