When it's time to change...
_Sha na na na, na na na. Na na na na na!
Remember that episode of the Brady Bunch where Peter's voice was changing, instead of leaving him out, they all recorded the song together anyway, "When it's time to change, you've got to rearrange..." Well, I apologize in advance, because now you will also have it in your head, but I've had that song in my head all morning, because I know for me, it's time to make some important changes around my health and wellness that I've been avoiding like the plague.
When I turned 40 this year, I finally admitted to myself that my body is exhibiting some 'wear and tear' as a result of the lifetime of nonchalant choices I have made, the stubborn refusal I have shown to give certain things up, and frankly, just some plain old immaturity. "You can't make me." I'd say to myself... yeah, that's right... so stubborn I won't even let ME tell ME what to do. I'm a hedonist, dammit!
Well, our bodies are wise and intuitive messengers, and while they may initially nudge us with whispers, when ignored, the whispers turn to shouts, the shouts turn into disease, chronic pain, dangerous, life-threatening symptoms... the body says "REMEMBER ME? Care for me. Love me, already. Listen, lady. Without me, you're nothing."
And while I'm a big believer that we are far more than our bodies, let's admit it. They do supply us with the ways and means to exist in this super-fun time-space reality and do our super-fun human thing. Sure, I'm looking forward to being an ethereal spirit body someday, but right now, I'm here, in this body, and yes, Peter, it's time to change.
Soooo that being said, in the interest of transparency, what greater way to be accountable to these necessary changes than to share the journey with you. I ask you to join me, as witness, as I embark on my 2012 Wellness Overhaul. Yes, it's an Overhaul. The baby steps were getting me nowhere.
Don't get me wrong. I DO believe in baby steps... I see them work, in many, many cases, in my own life and the life of my clients and friends. And SOME movement is always better than NO movement. But what I need right now are BIG LEAPS OF BOLDNESS.
I'm putting this out there also because I know once it's 'out there', I have to be accountable to more than just myself. And that makes me stronger and bolder. (Right now, it makes me a little queasy, but I'll get over it.)
I invite you to follow my journey. Even better, I'd love for you to do more than follow. To allow my determination to get really, super duper healthy, to finally pay attention and care deeply for this body, and to prove so with action, to makeover my life, inspire and ignite your own necessary changes. Join me.
Any big challenge is easier when tackled with friends.
