Before this Quest my life was scattered - for the last few years, going through some challenges, I was pretty much abusing my body with dysfunctional food to feel better. The worst part is that I was convinced that I am actually healthy, with the mindset of "everything in moderation (including my health)".
I didn't know, why I don't have much stable motivation to progress with my goals, was very hard to stick with self-imposed pressure, as well as pressure of the environment. I would fluctuate between very productive days to days spend in bed in the front of Netflix, submerged in depressive thoughts, exhaustion, with bowl of crisps and chocolate.
My energy, mood, eating patterns, even sleep was completely out of control - I would be in deep inner conflict and denial.
My journey has really began when I finished Becoming Extraordinary Quest, one of the first goals on my 3MIQ sheet was that I want to be feeling super fu**king beautiful, healthy, flexible and strong in my body.
Luckily, I opened an email promoting WildFit and I intuitively knew I am on the right track.
Above the mentioned, the reason I enrolled in this Quest was to get freedom from "the eating slavery". Why? Because outgrowing from dysfunctional family, my subconscious mind has developed many defensive mechanisms of survival, one of which was filling a void within me with foods and consuming emotions, I was lacking off.
This is the first lesson learnt - for many years, I wasn't aware that the primary reason for me to not being able to transform my body & identity, had been due to this very strong protective mechanisms. I just didn't feel safe enough and my body weight and shape, was the only non-dynamic part of my life.
Obviously, my mind would sabotage my every attempt of succeeding. Plus defragmented knowledge and general misinformation what different foods do to our bodies, would make it so tangled and confusing, that the easiest is the fall back into the same patterns.
The program for me was like a rocky road, discovering all these mental patterns and new information about the foods, I got overwhelmed at times.
In the beginning, I was making very gradual progress - adapting and sticking to the enhancements. Until, my body had started experiencing interesting reactions to the changes: keto rash, sensations of liver discomforts, period prolonging and weight plateau. All these symptoms made it pretty difficult but helped me to learn so much about my body's needs and reactions. It helped me to listen to my body and somehow learn to hear it speak.
When, things got better, in the 11th week of the challenge, I lost a member of my family, and that was the first time when I went through a big slip - I experienced a viral dance with my shadows by overeating refined sugar and taking a big step back in my results.
Now, I see it as a step forward, showing me what's at stake - it's not just about losing weight and look different or beautiful - it's about holistic healing of mind, body and spirit. I could feel what sugar has been doing with my clean body, and it felt horrible, it didn't feel worth it at all.
After the funeral, I got back on the wagon and it made me even more determined to stay truthful to myself - building Captain's strength (conscious mind) to train the Crew (subconscious mind), not just to be tamed, but to be a Team, working on this Ship of Liberation and Growth. In the end, I didn't lose the weight I was aiming, but as you can see on the picture... my face is expressing vitality.
Now, I know how vitality feels, I know what is worth, I know how to get back to it, if I will decide to Fall.
The vitality made my skin clear, shining and glowing, my eyes got somehow clearer too, and more in colour, the energy and emotions are in balance - becoming less reactive - somehow flowing in life, as a dreamer - my dreams became more lucid and mornings became more sacred, my hair has been growing healthy, fast and got little denser.
Also, I noticed that my body has started differently distributing the fat as well as supporting my muscles and bone mass.
More importantly, I am not on the battlefield anymore, fighting with the Sugar Monster, my Internal Devil nor Manipulative Tricks of Food Industry.
I am at the civilised meeting table, where Devil and Angel agree on most of the agenda items, and Industry Advocate hassles a bit, but I always kill the argument with my Conscious Choice.
After taking this Quest, I understand how to move forward with all I've learned to get where I want to be - at the same time, not to stress about it, as eventually, every journey is not just about the summit, is about the journey itself, changing our perspective every single time we go to the top.
My next big goal is to fully thrive in conscious eating and take my time to develop my unique ratios and formulas to serve my lifestyle, to Live Wild on my own terms. Of course, for the physical body, I still have few kilos to lose, but after that I will definitely get this body toned.
Reasons why I recommend this Quest is to set yourself free and experience what vitality really is about for you, how to feel healthy and liberated.
My top 3 takeaways or insights during/after finishing this Quest are that food & eating are the number one priority, which determines our entire experience of life, that is possible to gain freedom and be healthy on your own terms and that positively changing your eating is changing not just you, but your community and the environment.
Thank you to the Mindvalley Team for making this program available, the entire Wild Fit Crew for your hard and stunning work, and every Beautiful Human Being, which I stumbled upon on this journey - I met so many amazing people and have so many resources for lifetime!
This is the end...- feels a bit sentimental and not true, because the best part is that for me is a very beginning.
With love,
Patrycja
