Stop running….what?!? I’m the fitness woman who loves motivating and empowering women through movement. Some clients are now “running” for the bus only to find themselves excited and relieved that they did it and did not drop dead! So what am I talking about?
Life is such an interesting journey. The physical body can work hard to move better through space, but what about the part of you inside that goes 100mph? I LOVE to go fast – my brain multitasking while I speak with someone. My energy rotating so fast it gets confused between excitement, movement and chaos. I know I have “energetically” knocked people over without even realizing what has happened. I filled my life with so much “weight” that I had to go fast or else I would drown.
But the running has stopped…or at the very least slowing down enough for me to feel and catch my breath. Now I can stand in the quiet. There is less drama. There is less chaos. There is less confusion. Trust me, it did not happen over night. In hindsight, I know it is something I had been ignoring – and not being honest with myself – for years. Only now, with that internal honesty – do I feel I have a chance to stand up and move differently. Not run – but find a different kind of movement in the peacefulness of the personal honesty. It’s an “ouch” and a blessing. But I deeply trust the process. Perhaps now, life will take a different “shape.” :)
