It is all too easy to be consumed in the day to day worries and stresses that we all experience. Before you know it you are in your 40’s with a family depending on you and you can’t remember how you got to where you are now and have no idea where you are going from here.
My mum died in September last year (2018) and this was a turning point for me to stop, look around, and take stock of where I am right now. I was always interested in the meaning of life when I was a kid and often walked to school looking at everyone around me and wondered what experience of life they were having, how was it different to mine? When you have a death or significant trauma in your life then I am sure it is only natural to start asking “who am I?” and “what is the point of life?”.
I have never been formally religious but do take a deep interest in many spiritual ideas. Some of these just seem to make “sense” to me, they “resonate” with my own experience, and my intuition tells me to trust those ideas, concepts, and people with whom I resonate.
My academic and professional career has taught me all about the function of the human body. My life experience and personal study has developed an understanding of personal motivation.
What I am trying to say is that I once believed that I was my physical body, and my physical experiences shaped who I was. Now however, I am becoming increasingly aware that this appears to be back to front. In reality it seems that who I literally think I am dictates my experiences, my physical actions, and in turn my physical body and life.
I have been aware of ideas around life, experience, and reality similar to this for some time but it is only just now that I am noticing life working in this way.
I have always worked in the realm of physical conditioning, training, and sports performance. Now I am venturing into life coaching as well. To me, this seems to perfectly compliment everything that I have learnt in the past about the body but is the missing link so to speak for enabling true lasting change… of any kind.
I hope that one day I may be able to assist you in finding what you are looking for.
Until then...
Good luck out there!
