THE JOURNEY

Filed in Kim's Corner — September 12, 2016

My life could have ended up in a very different place from where I am now. When I was younger, I struggled with self-esteem, body image, and dysfunctional family dynamics. Then a weekend self-awareness workshop changed my life. I learned something there that changed me forever. I learned was that I was OK and that there was nothing wrong with me. That belief became the foundation on which I built my new outlook on life.

This may seem like a pretty simple fact to you, but it hit me like a lightning bolt and set me on a totally different life course. Once I incorporated that idea, I opened myself to other ideas. I realized that I actually deserved happiness just like everyone else. I was smart, capable and strong…I could do things…things I never thought I could. What a tremendous awakening and what a relief…I was OK! I began to want to get to know myself…I stood up for myself. I began to like myself and see my potential. I wanted to be visible. I let go of the irrational fear that people would reject me. I realized that I needed to connect in order to live my life to its fullest potential. I was actually changing my course!

Now, it did not happen overnight, and I did not (and do not) get it right every time. It took (and still takes) incredible hard work and every day is not a perfect one. But the momentum of my life continues to head in the right direction…one that is positive, healthy, and strong. It is still a challenge to maintain balance and make the right choices, but it is a challenge that I embrace and enjoy. I have come up with an effective approach that helps me to manage my life and I would like to help you find yours. This is not a cookie cutter approach! It has to be custom designed just for YOU.

My journey included obtaining the education and credentials to complement my personal experience to give me the opportunity to help other people. My reason for sharing my story with you is to give you hope that your past does not have to dictate your future. Let go of the past… Let go of all of the self-doubt, self-loathing, and shame for the failed attempts to change your life. Let go of your fear, go for it and you will be amazed at what you can do.I want to help you design your own unique, realistic, and rewarding future. Let me help you get there, AND stay there. You deserve it! YOU really do and you can do it, once and for all. No matter how big or small your desired change or what issues challenge you, success can be yours. Whether you struggle with addiction, low self-esteem, health & weight problems, social isolation, life stress or poor life management, there will be a time when something clicks…that moment when something comes alive inside of you …You will know it and you will be unstoppable!! Let today be that day…let it happen.
