Hello! This is your inner voice talking.

I love trying new things. I especially love “learning” new things. If I could, I would be an eternal student. Well, I am in some way. With the internet and all the great resources, I can find there, I am always learning something new. Health and wellbeing are my favorite topics.

As a young adult, I was looking at my elders and I was telling myself that I would never be old. That stayed with me over the years and I made it a passion of mine to look for natural ways not to age and to even look younger all the time. It is easier said than done. Life keeps putting speed bumps in the way of being and staying healthy. I am persevering and not giving up. I have to say that the last two and a half years have quite challenging. I have had my ups and downs and one-speed bump after another… a real wind storm. As of now, I am still healing from a few incidents last fall. But things are looking good. I am in the hands of very competent people. Yeah!

Where to go from here? I want to get back to the best shape of my life. That was in 2002. Already thirteen years ago, how time flies. I was then working out several hours a week and I started on September 2001 and up until May 2002. I was training on my own for the first six months and for the last three months I hired a personal trainer. That was when I saw a huge difference. It was awesome to have someone there to push my limits and to show me the way. When I was working out alone, I would rarely push my boundaries. Also, I had nobody to be accountable to. But with my trainer, he was there and he was expecting results from me. We were a team and I did not want to let him or myself down. As a reward, I booked a photographer and I did a photoshoot. See the results…

I believe I can do it again… I don’t know how long it would take, but I am willing to get started and not give up. I also believe that in order to be at my best it has to come from all levels. What I mean by that is that it is not only physical but also mental. In order to have a healthy body, I have to have a healthy mind. I need to get rid of the blockages I have and the nagging voice that tells me that I can’t do it or that it is not worth it. Have you heard that voice before? I am pretty sure you did at one time or another or even right now. It is the voice that keeps me in bed in the morning when I said I would go for a run. It is the voice that says “One piece of cake won’t hurt you”. I have to be stronger than that voice and persevere. The voice is not there for my benefit, it does not want what is best for me. It is lazy and a glutton. It is a lot of what I don’t want anymore.

I would like you to share what is your voice is telling you. I want you to know that you are not alone and by reading other comments you will see that it is true. And know that that voice does not have to be there all the time. You can quiet it. It might take a little effort on your part, but it is possible.

I look forward to reading your comments.

Until next time, be Healthy and Happy
