As many of you may already know, forming HeadSTRONG Athletics is something that has brought me back to life as a trainer and as an individual. The joy of this new venture comes out in my training, in my family life and in my laughter every day. I feel alive and know that those around me have benefited from this experience as much as I have. By this, I mean, positivity spreads. Like the plague, in fact.
Have you seen the commercials out recently about passing on kindness. (Like this one for Liberty Mutual)
To the advertisers dismay, I actually had no idea what the ad was for until I looked it up...but I do remember the message. There is someone in the street who sees someone else doing a wonderfully unselfish deed and then pays it forward to the next lucky soul. They don't stop to think how it may benefit them...they just do what comes from their heart. Can you imagine where the circle started? Hopefully not. The fact is, despite all the terrible things happening in our society, it is important to remember that kindness and joy have and always will be within us.
I have the most ultimate pleasure of helping people every day and passing along the joy I feel doing so. Clients walk into the gym exhausted, mentally drained and grumpy all the time. But I promise you one thing, within 10 minutes their real personalities start to shine. People feel comfort and pride knowing that they are doing something good for themselves. They leave my presence feeling alive and, for the lack of a more sophisticated word, HAPPY! There is an energy associated with exercise and being around others who are working to better themselves that lives within each of us. That is why my clients keep coming back. Their session doesn't end after the hour...they carry it with them throughout the day and pay it forward.
If you want to feel that same energy, join HeadSTRONG Athletics for a Launch workshop or Group class today! It will be your gift to society's happiness.
