Travel Along… ‘A Story Athlete Finds A Way’

Come along with me on my latest journey…
I have started an exercise and writing program called GRIT StoryAthlete.  I work out each day and write a post.  This is my first.   How long do you think I am going to stick with this?   

How did I find my way here?!  I am woefully out of shape, at least in comparison to how I was.  

When I could only do my 20-pound kettle ball for the first two lifts, I felt disappointed and felt embarrassed.  But really, who is watching me?  Really?!  What’s that about?  Like I am performing in front of someone, and not making the cut once again.  

Disappointment in self coming up, that I have not taken care of myself enough.  Embarrassment from the guys in gym glass, when I could not do exercises as well as they could, so I was made fun of.  Feeling the shame of being shamed and humiliated.  

My dad making me work after school every day from kindergarten up, plus weekends and all summer.  No play, no learning from the other guys – you can do that someday after you grow up.  I grew up.  I still felt too embarrassed and humiliated.  Another layer(s) to clear out.  

I wonder what all the guys from the gym classes look like today, and what they can do, not that it would make a difference.  We just try to find ways to feel better.  I’m grateful that I can do what I can do and know I will do more.  I do not see any of their names listed on GRIT.  And yet, here I am.  “I’m still standing” – Elton John.  I remember when that was a huge favorite.  I AM still standing.

Those guys should all be here.  But then, gosh, thinking of them being here makes me feel more embarrassment, shame, and humiliation coming up.  More to clear out. 

Every GRIT session is most likely going to be like this, more layers to clear out.  The subconscious is tricky.  I actually work with the subconscious.  I will meet those stuck emotions, obstacles, and blocks as we go along.  As a Certified Body Code, Emotion Code, and DNA Practitioner, that’s what I do with my clients every day.  Time to work on my subconscious for GRIT.  Fun!

Typically, in the past, I have started various types of programs, which I have not completed.  Not that I did not want to.  I just got distracted, didn’t have time, or another reason/excuse, just like they say will come up for this.  

I am going to thank Greg Horn here for two reasons.  1) He asked me to join a business program he has, stuck with me, made me stick to it, and I actually completed. He has stuck with GRIT.  I’m guessing by being in GRIT is a part of how Greg got me through his program.  Love you, Greg!!  2) He’s asked me to do GRIT, so here I am.  He asked me before.  Better late than never, right?!  Even as I say this, I’m finding a few more excuses to work through.  Ha!   Hey, everyone is human, last I heard.

My body is tingling, and I have some excitement going on to have completed today.  Yeah!  Energetic “High Five’s” to everyone!!!
