It’s early enrollment for The BodyMind Coaching Program here at BodyMind Living, and we are buzzing with excitement! Why?
Because we are calling in our next amazing wave of embodied entrepreneurs, and with that comes a renewal of energy and possibility. I’m curious… what is exciting you right now in your business?
As always, we want our Embodied Entrepreneur Weekly to keep you stocked with inspiration to activate the next level for you and your clients! Sometimes, this means a change because as the subject line reads, “If nothing changes, then nothing changes. Let’s dive into some amazing resources to support you this week, shall we?
The Quote We Are Pondering
Luckily, April did say “yes” to herself and a change in her personal and business journey! Here’s how she explains her initial resistance to change and then her declaration to change… the amazing results that followed:
“Before I went through the BodyMind program I had a massage practice with employees. I was doing all the things, every day. I was tired and burnt out. I thought this was part of life and part of running a business.
I was fearful of making the investment for this program. At first I said no. As soon as I did I felt like I missed an opportunity. So onward I went on doing daily tasks for two more years. And I’ll tell you what, nothing changed! I felt more exhausted, more burnt out and more resentful of my business because it sucked the life out of me 24-7.
I went searching for Laura and BodyMind and after watching the webinar again, onward I went into the program. My own self-worth was the biggest awareness from this program.
You just don’t realize that YOU are an amazing unique person with gifts that no one else has! I get to be who I am, and many opportunities have opened since then!
I recently published a book. I created a subscription box business called Zenspirations, and I’m doing all these things coming from a place of love and it allows me a space to serve others in a really creative way that I didn’t see before!
The program has gifted me endless possibilities of how I can show up in the world!”
Wow, congrats, April!
The Embodiment Exercise We’re Loving
Dena Halle, BodyMind Ambassador and BodyMind Method© Coach, knows a lot about what happens when things change unexpectedly. During her time writing and publishing for BodyMind Living, she reflected a lot on her cancer journey and her biking accident that caused many broken bones and lots of physical therapy! These experiences provided Dena with lots of opportunity to reflect on the fear and uncertainty moments change can bring. In fact, she likens it to her frequent hikes up beautiful mountains near where she lives.
I invite you to listen as Dena talks us through this embodied mountain analogy. Take notes of what shows up as you do, and then share your reflections with us on IG @bodymindliving.
Coach Spotlight
Meet Kim Fish, BodyMind Method© Coach
Kim loves to inspire “others to take control of their health through group and private self care sessions.”
As a massage therapist, yoga instructor, and coach, she has shifted her business to support clients in the space between hands-on, in-person sessions. That’s why her business name, BodyWork Coaching Boutique, is so fitting for her tagline: “Embodied self-care for those who lead.”
One client had this to say after they worked together: “Kim makes you feel so loved, and you feel like you love yourself more.” So good, right?
The Articles We’re Reading & Using With Our Clients
What do a pen, a Band-Aid, and ease all have in common? Well, BodyMind Ambassador, Duane Pascal, made a pretty powerful connection as he wielded his pen to explain…
“…when we’re not claiming ease, it can be like an old Band-Aid that has become like a false skin stained in a camouflage of dirt, sweat, and grass over the original injury that is attempting to heal. That Band-Aid is now almost a part of your knee, much like the effort to claim ease can feel like it’s buried deep within us and untouchable.”
The common view of the word “entrepreneur” is one of hustle and grind. We, at BodyMind, are here to change that, and Duane is leading the way as he embodies this idea of claiming ease and activating change, just like ripping off a stuck Band-Aid. The after effect allows you to “…let go of the resistance and deeply breathe into the new way of ease! Now true healing and true ease can begin.”
We invite you to read the rest of Duane’s article, do some writing on what changes might be calling you to get unstuck, and then share your thoughts and the article on IG, tagging us and Duane @bodymind and @luminous_warrior23.
Resources For Your Holistic Practice
Have you ever felt resistance to change? Yea, me too! That’s why I love how Mary Pat Curran, BodyMind Method© Coach and Ambassador, shares an amazing resource on the “Cycle of Change” and how resistance is a part of the cycle.
As Mary Pat explains, “Change will always meet with resistance. It has to. If change did not meet with resistance, we’d be making changes for the sake of making changes and there’d be chaos without integration.”
Imagine if we learned to actually navigate change with grace and ease instead of thinking something is “wrong” when resistance shows up. Share this powerful resource breaking down the cycle of change and the journey of resistance, as Mary Pat explains it. It will make for a great theme for your next newsletter or as a resource in your programs.
Share with us when you use the resource, tagging us @bodymindliving!
