Today I had an experience that left me a little ruffled. I had an engaging conversation with the director of a local health club. I shared my story & told him about my wellness coaching & the workshops (that are still in development). He seemed impressed. Now let me digress for a moment...my goal was not to press him, but rather to share my story--you never know who you will touch, perhaps he knew someone I neede to meet or someone who needed to meet me!
Anyway, as our conversation wound down he expressed interest in having me come and do some presentations at his club. GREAT, I was thinking! This is what I was hoping for-- put yourself out there, share your energy, and be authentic & your dreams can & will come true, right?
Um, wrong. Mr. Healthclub couch his (dis)invite with 'as soon as you lose the rest of the weight, of course'. Slam. Put me right back into the 'you're not good enough' category again. Here's the problem--that's just a story, an old story, & it's not true. I no longer believe that. And neither should you.
Here's the deal: if we want to embrace fitness & hold it up we need to be prepared to embrace all levels of it & not just those some director of a healthclub deems worthy!
