It’s not QUITE Christmas yet, but in Germany today we celebrate St Nikolaus Day. 🎅🎄 My earliest memory of this day is when I was about 6 years old and my school had us all go on a long walk through the forest.
Of course, it was FREEZING out (December in Germany… you know how it is!). So as we were walking and being kids and excitedly talking about what presents we wanted and how excited we were to eat too much dessert with our families, what we DIDN’T realize is the lesson that we were learning…
That lesson is that while we may have hated the walk through the forest on a cold day if we were ALONE, TOGETHER we were able to get through it. With excitement, with momentum, and without stopping. 💪
We all need each other to help us along the way, to support us when we are feeling weak and to encourage us to keep going when the going gets tough. And that is what Saint Nicolas Day is all about – remembering that we are all in this together, and that we need to support and take care of each other.
When it comes to health and fitness, this lesson is particularly relevant. We all know that maintaining a healthy lifestyle can be challenging, and it is easy to feel like we are going it alone. But the truth is, we all need support and encouragement from others to help us stay on track and reach our goals.
It’s NOT a coincidence that I get to share so many amazing results of my clients here on IG… it’s because they’ve committed not ONLY to themselves, but they’ve committed to being held accountable, being supported by a team that cares about them, and being in it TOGETHER.
As Helen Keller once said, “alone we can do so little, but together we can do so much.”
If you are going to be one of the millions of people that promises yourself you’re going to make positive strides with your health and fitness in the new year BUT secretly wonder how (or if) you’re ACTUALLY going to do it, then now is the time to reach out to me. Our rates are going wayyyyy up in 2023, so now is the best time to make a commitment to yourself. 💪
