"Never expected to realize how impactful the journey would be"

I enrolled in the Holobody course to learn the fundamentals of coaching. I felt stuck in my life, wanting to transition out of my current career and the coaching element seemed like the next logical step which really appealed to me. The body/fitness was last on my list of reasons for joining because I dislocated my elbow in Dec 2020. I knew that I would not be able to fully do the strength training but "Hey it seemed like a great opportunity to learn and grow and add a missing element to my career (coaching)." I have also been in therapy for depression and anxiety so maybe it will help me with my mood. I wanted to show my children that they too can overcome anything and with the support of my husband, I jumped in, thinking it couldn't hurt. I am willing to try anything!
 I made a decision at the beginning that I would play as full out as I was able to both mentally and physically. Well, I am now almost finished this program and never expected to realize how impactful the journey would be. I love the group connection, the peer coaching, my mastermind group. The level of support, emotionally, nonjudgmental views of so many people from around the world. 
 The first month , learning the fundamentals of coaching with Ajit was amazing, just his smile and presence in my opinion was worth the program. Mindvalley opened up the Peer Coaching element and this is where I continued to learn to coach others. Practicing and learning from Sid, Toma and Ana. So important. After the live sessions I felt so uplifted, I notice a positive mood change. 
 From Ronan, I learned to listen to my body -really listen. I have tried in the past to workout regularly but it was for external reasons and I never understood the "Why" behind it. I learned that I got injured not because there was something wrong with me but because I wasn't listening to my body. I had the wrong information and I now feel more empowered.
The mental aspects including: The Silva techniques, 6 phase meditation taught by Vishen. This was the most exciting part of the journey for me as I believe in the untapped ability of our minds to heal ourselves. As a Holobody coach I will have these extra tools to help show people how they can learn to overcome their challenges at these levels of the mind. 
My hope is to shed some light on mental health problems. It affects so many people but it is silent and not talked about. It leads to many unhealthy lifestyle choices that contribute to chronic health issues. This course has provided me so much knowledge which will help me better support others, to empower people to change unhealthy patterns and help achieve balance in mind, body and spirit.
 By sharing my story, I hope to inspire others that it is possible to heal wounds that are not visible to the eye with the right support anything is possible!
