FREE AND CLEAR

ONLINE PILATES MAT CLASSES BY THE LIFT GIRL www.liftgirlpilates.com

To be FREE and CLEAR… Now doesn’t that sound awesome? We all have that goal, whether we realize it or not. To be free from baggage or pain and clear from all of the misunderstandings in our lives.  Ahhh, let’s imagine that for a moment.

Do you have a few nagging things in your life? Conflicts? Things left undone? Unfulfilled commitments?  Well, the reality is that they never do just go away; they revisit us over and over again until we take the time to deal with them.

I’ve learned over the years, sometimes the hard way, that it’s better to deal with my problems as soon as I’m able rather than to postpone or run away from them. Sometimes we all wanna run … and run fast! I stopped operating that way in my thirties.  The “left undones” ( I know that’s not a real word) create baggage. Baggage is weight, which is why it’s called baggage…it’s heavy. It’s heavy on our hearts, and it’s heavy on our spirits.

In Pilates to be FREE AND CLEAR is everything! I talk about this in every class. I encourage my clients to clear away all the mental baggage they may have swirling around inside their heads before we even start moving. I insist they get connected to what’s going on in the “here” and “now.”  It’s a huge thing to do for many people!

In my classes, you have to be present because I throw out a lot of details and concepts all at once. I do it on purpose. My clients have no choice but to wake up. They won’t survive the hour if they check out mentally.

The more I teach this material, the more I realize how many of us are not present in our life. Sometimes I’m guilty myself, especially when I’m having a hectic day.  I have to remind myself to be “present” and not get caught up inside my head.

Not being present robs so many people of a good life. To be caught or trapped inside your mind will hold you back in every way. You’ll be constantly searching for that something and never learn to just BE. Happiness is what we’re all looking for, right? Well, in order to be REALLY happy, we must learn to be PRESENT.

Free yourself of your mental baggage. You’ll possess unshakable strength and move through life with ease.

And you thought Pilates was just about exercise!!!! Well, it’s about a lot more than that, and we’re barely getting started.  To live better, be Free and Clear! Wake up and open your eyes to what’s right in front of you.

Bye for now!
