I had a chat today with a totally awesome ladaayyyyyy (lookin at YOU Alice 🙂 ) and we ended it with a rough quote that’s really impacted me lately.
“Don’t die with your music still in you.”
-(The late) Dr. Wayne Dyer
I love it so much, and it means so much to me because it’s how I feel about life. And because I feel that way about life, I wanted, seeked and found EPIC health.
I couldn’t get off the couch some days.
I drank sooooo many espresso’s per day and went to bed every night frustrated, confused, feeling stuck, depleted and incredibly low.
I think the quote still impacts me so deeply because it – without me having ever heard it at that time – was at the basis of my decision to do what it took to feel better; to get out of how I was feeling.
I REFUSED to live my life on a low simmer.
I REFUSED to feel like sh*t.
And I REFUSED to let my head hit the pillow without being REALLY F*CKING proud of myself. End of story.
Through the years, as happens when you decide to improve your life, I’ve filled my head up with book after book, audio after audio of the most inspirational people in the world.
Tonight, I busted my ASS in a workout designed as the pre-requisite training program to doing the Tough Mudder race (which was created in part by the British Special Forces).
And after BUSTING my ass, I made a challenge to myself (and my fiance, who also busted his ass):
Don’t LEAVE THIS WORKOUT, with your music still in you.
I wouldn’t have been able to do that three years ago. I would have felt so frustrated and pissed off that some stupid person was trying to push me out of my depression. Again.
I couldn’t get from there, to a badass workout. I was too far away from the person I am now.
I could, though, get from there, to eating one basket of fresh raspberries.
And then letting that be it that day.
I could get from there, raspberry-filled, to Google searching weird superfoods that promised to make me feel awesome.
From there I felt able to – at some point – find my way to a health food store (which seemed wayyy weird at the time), and get spirulina, a food touted as energy-boosting.
From there I took more steps, all one at a time.
One of them was becoming a Holistic Nutritionist.
One of them was signing up for a marathon (though that was 25 or 30 steps ahead of the above).
I did get to believing, for the first time, fully, that I could be capable of something huge.
Don’t go out with your music still in you.
Back in the day, I didn’t even realize there was a note in me.
And yet, sitting here in my lulu’s, dried sweaty-ness and fall leaves stuck to me from hitting the deck (park ground), I know there’s a whole f*cking orchestra in each of us.
And if you wanna unleash it on the world, to let your head hit the pillow tonight knowing you took a leap, to fill your mind with knowing that you have ENOUGH in you, always, then join me now in a healing program.
I’d love to help you find your next step. And once you do, GOSH. Once you do, the orchestra is not far behind that.
Sending you so much brightness,
Nathalie
Holistic Nutritionist
