As a transformation mentor and a coach, I went through several life-transforming experiences myself – from changing my country of residence to changing my career, to changing my relationships, just to name a few. Most recently, my time spent at Hippocrates Health Institute was another life-transforming experience, leading to a major change in perspective on healing and wellness.
In the past, I maintained a macrobiotic diet for a while; however, I was later persuaded by my doctor to eat animal protein according to my blood type. Over time, my body started to change and a number of health concerns surfaced… As is probably the case for many of you, I was always too busy to pause and address some of my health issues. My priorities – from concerns about family members to taking care of my clients to addressing urging business needs to starting new ventures – were always somewhere else except on my Self. After habitually working 50-60 hours a week, staying up late every night, snacking on fruits and chocolate all day long while sitting in front of the computer or driving to meetings, not taking any breaks during the day for relaxation and movement, I started gaining weight, feeling pain in my joints and adding more tasks to my daily “to do list” than a self-loving and balanced woman should have. It would be fair to say that I was pushing myself beyond healthy boundaries/limits and was using food and sweets to numb some underlying emotional issues… does any of this sound familiar to you?
