Books are a beautiful item to have, enjoy, share and learn from … as a kid I would never have thought that would be something I could ever comprehend let alone announce and fully understand the beauty of books …
But the cover can be quite deceiving to the collection of word within it’s pages … Some books can have the most stunning artwork to provoke ideas and notions of what excitement or peril awaits the intrigued reader … only for the reader to be so disinterested and board they wondered what possessed them to pick it up in the first place …
Others can be a simple yet elegant color and font combination the evokes nothing in the reader … but they go ahead and start the book anyway … only to realize it has been hours since they lifted there head out of the depths of the adventure and are reluctant just yet to rejoin reality …
The reason I start with this story is because we … humans … are much the same … you cannot read from the cover of a person what they are truly like unless you open the cover and find out whats going on inside …
For instance … the image you see here is of me on stage a few years ago … in absolute peak physical condition. I’m not quite what ‘society’ sees as beautiful however …
I was the correct weight for society to love …
I had better body fat percentage than the expectations of society desire …
I was studying at University …
I was a mum of two amazing children … (that really don’t know how much I love them)
I had beautiful skin …
My fitness and stamina was that of a top athlete …
… and I came home with titles in my sport that very few can say they achieved …
I was super woman!
The Book Cover was awesome! I was Rock’n It on the outside!
But … there is often a But …
The story on the inside was totally different … the way I was talking to myself …
I would NEVER have allowed my best friend to speak to herself like it …
Nor would I have spoken to anyone else like it and I would protect anyone from receiving that kind of language from another person …
But I did it to myself …
I’m not good enough …
Why should I attempt this I’m crap at this …
I’m not smart enough …
Why would anyone want me I’m ugly …
My life is a mess …
I’m so pathetic …
I got it wrong again … what an idiot …
If I train harder, maybe the pain from that will numb the worthlessness I am …
I’m fat … (yep … I though I was still too fat)
… and this went on for years … the cover looked awesome but story within was, torturous, sad, berating, angry, aggressive, frustrated, heavy, scared, fearful, isolated …
… not a story that reflected the cover in the slightest.
The reason I’m telling this part of my story … is because I realize there are so many others in this global community that have a similar cover to me and pages that might read almost identically to me in thoughts, feelings and emotions …
I just want to say I know where your at … and there is light at the end of that tunnel when you see it … and once you have glimpsed it … follow it … that is the best time to be the story in your next book …
What do I mean by that … You have the choice to change your language, the second you ‘see the light’ … the second you recognize that you are worth more than your internal berating … You can begin writing a new story for yourself.
I did … and through my experiences, personal development and education I am now able to help you do the same … I work with Mind Body Nourishment techniques that …
… help you slow down
… become present
… make informed choices
… learn to love your awesome self
… learn to accept your brilliant self
… understand how to start healing yourself
… and plenty of other things …
