A Testimonial as perspective of growth
Have you ever written a testimonial for someone? I’ve written a few lately, and I recommend doing it even if you don’t need to. It’s like an amazing journaling exercise where you take a moment to look back over the journey you’ve been on with a person or product. The process supports you in looking at Before/After scenarios in your own life rather than constantly raising the bar or seeing only through the lenses of now without any context.
Here’s a testimonial that I wrote to my movement coach 10 months into our relationship. I wrote it while experiencing a plateau, and it reignited my commitment to movement and personal fitness so that I’m doing more independent work (what I see as the next level needed for my personal development and motivation).
I came to Eric at a time in my life where I'd lost my mojo and no longer felt at home in my body.
In the past I'd often used willpower or external motivations to get into shape, but my energy had dipped so low that these approaches no longer got me in motion.
For the first time in my life, I wanted to lean into and explore what my strengths are rather than follow some fad or program. I wanted to feel that exercise was adding to my vitality, not draining my time and energy resources, causing me to rely on other supports like caffeine to get going. I wanted a coach that would understand me, my body and disposition while helping me formulate goals at a deeper level.
That's how I found Eric at Form is Function. He helped me dive deeply into my goals to uncover the hidden motivations. He engaged me philosophically as well as physically. He knew how to keep me interested by adding new challenges. Eric helped me crack a dietary/nutritional challenge that I been trying to change in my blood work for more than 20 years. Thanks to Eric, I'm no longer prediabetic and my osteopenia has gone away.
I recognize, accept and love myself in my physical form. I've even forgotten that I used to have a popping hip, a knee that got achy, a lower back that felt unstable and shoulder pain that showed up sometimes. I truly feel at home in this body and feel we have more of a loving partnership rather than a willful battle. My strength and body have changed so much, and yet it's been so gradual that it's given me time to feel like me in this refurbished home. What I didn't expect was a huge boost in confidence, yet I'm so grateful for it.
Eric brought compassion to mental challenges and gave me tips for working with them rather than fighting them. I love the complete attention to mind, body and spirit that comes from Eric at Form is Function.
While Eric Kenyon is located in Grass Valley, California, he does training around the world. Thanks to the pandemic, I can attest to his ability to teach, train and assess movements via online platforms. So while I’m not posting this testimonial to sell you on him specifically, you can see all the benefits I’ve experienced. You can contact him directly with any questions or inquiries about your specific goals and desired results. Here’s the link to Form is Function again. This is not an affiliate link, merely a share of one of my favorite approaches to getting the results I was after.
