Would you want to wait until you feel pain?

I was talking to a friend the other day about my work, and he asked what my mission was. This question really struck me and made me think. My answer was pretty simple though. I thought back to nearly 13 years ago when I became self-employed and actually my mission didn’t change much.

 

I wanted to make people aware, especially women, about the importance of prevention over treatment.

 

That you can have a baby even if doctors tell you it’s going to be difficult or not possible.

 

That you can help your body and mind to feel better with implementing just simple lifestyle changes. And what a great feeling it is to wake up to no pain and with the knowledge that you have looked after your body in a way it should be looked after.

 

Everything and every method I teach to my clients I’ve tried and tested myself as well. And they all helped to improve my own health.

 

Just to name a few… Yoga that helped with my backpain, the Aviva method to regulate my menstrual cycles, the Loveyourbelly method that strengthened my core after childbirth, and more recently Wushuang Daoyin that helps with my spinal mobility the way yoga is not able to.

 

Finding a new purpose and changing my diet helped me get pregnant. Working on my emotional state through exercises and meditation makes me more resilient, and a more patient mother.

 

This is what I teach. Simple, natural methods.

 

What I want to achieve is to make you more aware that you don’t have to suffer. You don’t have to wait until illness strikes you. Prevention is so much easier, than dealing with the tsunami of shit what an illness brings.

 

Yes, working on yourself takes a bit of time and commitment. But who else would you want to most commit to other than yourself? How can you create change in other people’s life if you are feeling crap?

 

How can you be a better mother to your children? What example do you give them?

 

Don’t wait until it’s too late. Don’t wait until you feel pain. Don’t wait until symptoms occur unless you’d prefer to suffer.

 

Because not looking after you will have its price somewhere down the line.

 

And it doesn’t have to be done perfectly and rigidly. I don’t either. But always asking yourself – what would my precious body, my precious being would want today to feel happy?

 

What can I do today to look after myself first? And no, it is not selfish to look after yourself first. It should be a must.

It is a must!

 

So where will you start implementing changes in your life? Would love to know in the comments.

 

And of course, I’m here for you if you need a sense of direction on how to go about changing.

 

Love,
