When I was hit by a Truck..

They say that life gives us little nudges along the way and if we don’t pay attention, we finally get hit with a Mack truck – that’s what happened to me. Literally. 

And if it hadn’t been for the incredible resilience that I had developed and integrated into my health before then, there is no telling if I would be here today.

Why am I sharing this with you? Because, without question, the number one resource we all have in life is our health. And what I mean by health is the health of the whole person: body, mind, spirit, emotions, and, yes, even soul.

In other words, really connecting each of these aspects of yourself in a way that is congruent, and truly supports your ability to live well. This means being in touch with your heart, your mind and your body. Once you do this you will find that the other things in life that are important to you, your dreams, your desires, and your aspirations, are more accessible to you. 

Can you imagine how your life would change if you were truly healthy on each of these levels, expressing who you are and doing those things that make your heart sing? Can you imagine the difference to your relationships, creative life, your vitality, your strength, and your self-esteem?

We often take our health for granted until something happens that makes us realize how valuable it truly is. My gratitude for my own health -my physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health- has deepened immensely in the face of my experience, and I know as in all experiences lies the opportunity for deeper learning and realization.

I invite you to reflect on how important is your health to you.. really, and what does that really mean for you in your life? What wake-up calls may you have experienced that re-awoke you to the presence of your body and the need to refocus your attention on your health?
