That is exactly what I have felt a great portion of my teenage and young adult life. I've wanted to run out of my skin so many time because I understood that something deeper in me was yearning for something bigger and better that is deserved.
I understood that I was out of alignment with whatever it was that I was suppose to do in life. And it could have simply been to enjoy it, but I wasn't due to stress factors and problem I have brought upon myself. So I started setting goals... and accomplishing them.
The first goal I set at age 21, was to get my health in order once and for all. All my life I had struggled with weight management and it has become a passion of mine to help others who have issues getting a grip on there body. But it never starts in the physical... it starts with the mind. So I sought out ways to get the mind right and focused. There was so many ways to do that and when you give a human too many options, they shut down. I knew that if I could find several methods to train the mind and help it train the body, I would be able to overcome any obstacle placed in front of me. Maybe I would need to find different workout. Maybe I would need to find different herbs to infuse the body with. Maybe I would need to find calming, positive, autosuggesting music. And all I have found and still continue to find more.
But something really interesting happened yesterday. As I mentioned in my last blog, I am planning and hoping to run the NYC Marathon this year, God willing. But I have started training for the event with all intention to complete the race. Yesterday was my first day of training.
I decided I wanted to ride my bike for the first time in 4-5 years. The last time I rode, I was in Boston, taking a spin with some friends and ended up on the concrete with my entire right side torn apart and cuts and bruises everywhere. That will stop a girl from trying again! Believe me! lol But, I put my past behind me and decided to ride 1.4 miles to a park I used to go to as a teen. I made it to MaCarren Park, made a U-turn so I could make it back home, and then it happen. By that time, I believe all the blood and oxygen left my brain and when straight to my legs, which felt extremely powerful. I WAS PASSING OUT!!! But there was something so incredible that happened, which made me understand why workout programs like P90X, TurboFire, etc are as intense as they are. There is a breaking point within all of us and when we reach that point, magnificent things happen. You go into the "ZONE" - "SURVIVAL MODE." It is the point where your body can't take the strain and stress you put on it and "freaks out" and finally performs at its maximum potential. It doesn't have time to think, to analyze, to wonder and make calculated decisions. It just does what it naturally knows to do to survive and functions optimally.
So while on my ride and getting ready to pass out, I noticed this "zone" that I was in. The second I got off my bike I felt like throwing up. I was nauseous. I remembered a friend of mine, who is personal trainer, explain to me that getting to this point of nausea means your body is trying to get rid of the toxins in your body. The need of oxygen and the fact that blood was pumping to all areas rapidly, along its journey, collects the toxins and sends them straight to your digestive system and the must get out!!!
Below is the video I did right after I got home from the bike ride. Soon, I will do another blog listing all the products, internal and external, that I am using during this transformation into my ultimate, optimal self! Enjoy and leave me a note if your heart desires.
You can become your best. You can achieve your dreams. Never give up. Be STRONG! Be BRAVE! JUST BE!!! You are awesome and the world is waiting to meet the optimal human being that you are.
Much love, peace, blessings and confidence.
