Fueling Change

A few weeks ago I attended the RFMXFit presentation to get a feel for how the whole program was evolving. 

The presenters spoke about the elements necessary for change. Paul Carroza shared some of his background that led to his lifelong work in the fitness world. And the food aspect was addressed by a woman who had cleared her own body's ecosystem issues to feel healthy and now shared that wisdom with others.

What wasn't fully articiluated was the WHY of the program. It was held in a cardiologist's office so there was one clear 'why' answered. However, how do people keep doing the personal math--that goes far beyond the physical--to stay engaged? 

In my own case, at the age of 56, I'm doing this so that I can have the stamina to keep doing the important work I've been incubating over the last 2 decades. It's not about being skinny (I had a rather unhealthy 'skinniy' period thanks to anorexia & bulimia in my early 20s) or staying 'young'. It's about being present in the most sustainable form for the role I've been preparing for: creating opportunity ecosystems that allow all of us to bring our full complement of talents forward for the benefit of all. 

Our bodies are our most accessible ecosystem, as they go, so goes the world. Keeping our own internal health in balance allows us to stay balanced exteranlly in a ever-more unbalanced world. 

Sounds like a good WHY to me.
