I was back in my hometown recently, where I health coached and taught for over 20 years. I missed my clients so I decided to take some of them out for tea and dessert.<\/p>\n

I thought for a minute the dessert part was a bad idea when a couple of them wouldn\u2019t eat a piece of cake in front of me. But when I dug in myself, moderately of course, the party got started in earnest.\u00a0 I asked them if they wanted to share things that were important in their lives over the past year.<\/p>\n

As we went around the circle, they spoke of daughter\u2019s weddings, losing your job, getting pregnant, becoming a gym rat, outliving heart disease, surviving cancer and menopause, the joy of grandchildren, joining a touch football league, and a trip to China.<\/p>\n

Maybe because I was their host, the conversation drifted toward how getting fit, eating healthier and reducing their stress had changed their lives.<\/p>\n

They shared stories about feeling invisible, putting on belly fat, having no energy and feeling like a lump. One remembered showing up in my office, tearing her hair out saying my doctor told me I need to do something, I\u2019ve got serious health issues, but I hate to exercise, I\u2019m stressed all the time and I love sugar. What do I do?<\/p>\n

She said, I told her \u201cWe are going to fix this. We\u2019re going to design a program together you can look forward to instead of dread.\u201d<\/p>\n

My coaching style is to start people wherever they may be physically and emotionally and get them on their way smoothly and pleasantly; one small goal at a time. If the first experience is pleasant, you\u2019ll want a second and the third and so on. Sustainability is the key to a healthier life. And that\u2019s what happened with these clients.<\/p>\n

But something else remarkable happened too.<\/p>\n

They said reaching their goals had given them the self-confidence to pursue things they would never have dared to try; that the change in their bodies had kindled a change in the way they saw themselves. Instead of feeling invisible they felt fabulous and that Fabulosity had spilled over into the rest of their lives. As much as I would love to take all the credit for this transformation, I think that it boils down to healthy body, healthy mind; simple lifestyle changes were the key that unlocked the door to their potential.<\/p>\n

Pretty cool huh?<\/p>\n
