She was sitting in my studio, sobbing.
“I told him I would never again join him in Vegas. He looked at me with disgust and said…YOU’RE SELFISH”
I was hesitant to press her but I knew I needed to stand up for her truth + vision for her life…
A HOLISTIC TRANSFORMATION
You see, we started working together because she was having severe pain in her knee again.
She had done it all:
Physical Therapy
Weight Training
Massage
Acupuncture
Ice…heat…ice + heat
Knee Surgery
And still, her knee was only getting worse.
But she took a chance on me and Pilates. After 3 months of working together :
She was pain free
She could squat
She and her husband could take long walks and hike
Most important, she was REALLY excited to travel again…to Vegas.
THE REAL DRIVER BEHIND HER “STUCK-NESS”
Her goals were far beyond just a physical transformation.
Sure, increased mobility + pain free exercise was great…but travel delighted the couple.
Finally…she named the shame.
“Vegas is huge and I just don’t think I can do it.
Every time we go he has to get a wheelchair for me.
He’s super sweet about it + pushes me around but it’s humiliating!!
How can he be attracted to me when I’m like an old woman in a wheel chair?
You and Pilates have given me back my hope but this just feels like too much of a test.
If I fail, and end up in a wheel chair, I’ll collapse.”
RECLAIM YOUR POWER
Her brave share got me thinking…
What would set her up for success physically, as well as emotionally and spiritually.
Book a room as close to the lobby as possible
Break the vast + endless hallways into smaller chunks to reduce overwhelm (stop and enjoy more frequently, ask him to go back to the room if you forget something)
Do your rehab + Up level routine everyday to stay connected to your body + keep your confidence high
Simple Breathwork exercise to check in and face the fears that can + will hijack your mind
Visualize your perfect outcome…your brain doesn’t know the difference between real and imagined, so give it the good stuff
She shared this plan with her husband and he was thrilled!
Vegas baby, here we come!
I know, I know, I’ve held you in suspense long enough…
SUCCESS!
She shared with me that this trip was, by far, the most fun they’d ever had in Vegas.
Her knee held strong the entire time
She was honest about what she could handle and he was willing to adopt a slower pace
They spent more time together enjoying each other’s company vs. enjoying their travel destination separately
Her fear and the fight they had, was the powerful catalyst that re booted their relationship
