Before You Work Out, Exercise

I’ve been working in the fitness industry for fourteen years and have witnessed people achieve the body of their dreams just to have it dissipate in half the time it took for them to achieve it. So I began to examine my own life and the lives of some of my closest friends and clients with the intention to find out why the body of their dreams would elude them so quickly. What I discovered was two things. First is that the body is not just skin, organs, muscles, and bones. It is an energy system that stores our dominant thoughts and emotions deep within the tissues and cells of the anatomy. Ultimately it is this "storage" process that sends out energetic vibrations into the universe that attract to us people, relationships, and all of our life experiences. The second thing I discovered was that external modifications which precede internal healing can only be temporary and rarely lead to the fulfillment that we seek.

In an effort to clean up my own life I decided to do a little exercising of my own. I was led to undergo a forty day process of self evaluation which manifested into my first book, Before You Work Out, Exercise:40 days of working it out mentally and spiritually. The term before you work out, exercise simply means sort through internal discord before you make material changes. Examples of exercise could be forgiveness, finding your purpose, and developing your relationship with God. Examples of working out can be buying a new home, buying a new car, or getting married.

I used to be the queen of working out, changing my body, my hair, buying new cars, and jumping in and out of relationships. I’ve changed cities and even went to another country! Then I realized that no matter what I do or where I go I still have to take me with me, and ultimately I attract me at every turn. When I realized this I decided to exercise first and then work out!

 Before You Work Out, Exercise is a memoir which tells the stories of love and physical fitness. In it you find daily insights as well as affirmative prescriptions, and inspiring stories that will empower you to manifest the life that you truly desire. Before You Work Out, Exercise has been a blessing on my life and my prayer is that it blesses you the same.  My personal journey continues and has now become a beautiful spiritual adventure because I have given full reigns to Spirit!

Today I work as a holistic fitness practitioner helping people live a balanced and healthy life incorporating fitness, nutrition, forgiveness, self acceptance and energy work into their program.
