Shelly (above) is a client who recently started a Pilates program with me. She is a hairstylist and suffers from the pains of poor posture and from the repetitive stress of raising her arm over her head. I've been trying to get her to do Pilates for at least a year. Of course, I heard the litany of excuses like "I don't have time" or "It's too far." Finally, I convinced her to try it just once and now she is hooked! She is now making the time to come and look forward to feeling good and taking care of herself. You would be amazed at how we convince ourselves that we are too busy or things are too difficult until the discomfort we feel due to not taking care of ourselves is greater than the discomfort it takes to change a habit! We get so BUSY that we forget to be in the moment and truly live. Ironically, living in the moment gives you a life full of time and just enough energy to do what you need to do.
