How Personal Training Stories Can Transform You

Over the years I have recognised that we learn best and change from hearing personal training stories from one another and how very much alike we all really are. You are not alone on your journey. You are not the only person on the planet experiencing whatever it is you are going through right now. If you are able to stop your metal merry-go-round for just one minute, guess what….others have been or are exactly where you are right now. That’s right other people have also fallen down the rabbit hole hitting their head every now and then following the yellow brick road of weight loss!

Story telling is not a slice of delicious chocolate cake. It is the whole cake with butter cream filling and ganache on the top and sides. Stories are one of the most powerful forms of sharing truth, connection and emotion. Personal training stories have the brawn to act as a catalyst of your very own personal reinvention; to expose, inspire and strike a chord with you. After all that’s the nature of human feeling – emotions make us human. To be human is to have a story.

A number of stories may perhaps mean letting yourself feel scared, embarrassed, hurt, vulnerable or trigger a major emotional reaction – that’s normal and expected. Weight loss isn’t just a one book fairy tale. There are all kinds of other stories on the bookshelf, classic, thriller, drama, comedy, historical fiction, monster literature, tall tales, short stories and the list goes on. To accept certain wounds and deprivations is a part of your story, it is what defines and shapes you.

Remember each and every challenging story you face contributes to your cultivating process – growing the lustrous Pearl, coating upon coating, sustainable lifestyle changes upon sustainable lifestyle changes.
