I was voted by my grade 10 Phys Ed class as the girl least likely to desire to sweat. Which is naturally why I became a Fitness and Nutrition Consultant and opened my first business, a fitness facility. 

Leaving behind the dreaded P.E. Gym strip remained my experience until after the birth of my first two children. I came to fitness then, with the determination for finding time for myself and the bonus of losing the baby weight; getting back to pre-pregnancy condition. 

I loved how the movement of my body opened up feelings, brought me ideas, and memeories. How it helped to create relationships with others through classes and events that I competed in. These were just as important to me as the increased strength, stamina and slimmer body I was experiencing. 

Our small town didn't have a fitness facility at the time and so, in order to bring my newfound love of body movement and all of the perks I had experienced in the journey, I decided to open a gym and to get my Nutrition and Fitness Consultant certification.

The fitness industry, as you may know, is a demanding one. Dedication, determination and physical ability take on a state of worship which can quickly lead to obsession if not controlled. I found myself there. 

I lived a story for a few years that wasn't authentic to who I truly am. It took introduction to the framework of The Desire Map to shift things up for me. To teach me that my aspirations were cool, but to learn how to accomplish them from a much more soul filled, rather than soul sucking, space.

You, too, can do this by first deciding how you want to feel. Sounds too simple to be true. To learn what it means to feel pleasure. To infuse pleasure into all areas of our lives.
