Transformed and Transforming

 

Transformers, more than meets the eye. Listen, it is no mistake that I own a business called Metamorphosis Inc. I have been transforming this life and in this lifetime again and again and again! It has been humbling to have strangers reach out on social media and say things like this: “I have been watching you and reading your posts. You have transformed so much over the years and I want you to know that I see you and that you inspire me.” or “Girl, what have you been doing?!  Tell me your secret.  Is it a pill?  What is your work-out routine? What have you done to get the results I am seeing?!”

My dear reader, here is the simple truth. It is no one thing that I have done.  It is many.  I will share my secret with you because it’s just the two of us. I followed what is now known as my Metamorphosis Academy Curriculum.  Well, I guess I didn’t follow it as much as create it by figuring things out for myself along the way. I’ll give a few highlights of the framework and then I’ll share a some juicy nuggets with you. 

Here are the steps: Recognize what is no longer serving you. Identify what is at the root of those things (trauma, obsolete information, old narratives), Communicate needs and set boundaries (teach people how to treat you). 

Here are the juicy bits! I decided way before having weigh-loss surgery that somethings in my life needed to change. I was burning out trying to do all the things for all the people. That first glimmer of a lightbulb was the beginning of the light that shines from within me now. I started making changes to what I ate and how I moved my body. I incorporated pleasure by way of hot, candle-lit baths. I remained curious about how I showed up in the world and what I was missing. As a result of the surgery and adjustments to my lifestyle, I began shedding weight which gave me more freedom to move. I walked, jogged, crunched, planked and danced because it felt easier to do so. 

Eventually I changed my environment. I changed the people I hung around. I changed how I talked to and about myself. I embarked on a spiritual journey where I tapped into who I have always been since I was a little girl. I changed my whole life and it spilled over into changing my look, my walk, my essence and my energy. 

It is damn near impossible to explain how much and in how many ways I have changed in the last three years. It wasn’t easy. It wasn’t a pill.  And it is not done.  I will always be changing into who I am becoming. It’s not difficult, it’s my choice to move higher and higher into my highest good. 

When people stop talking to me or following me on social media and give the reason that “I’ve changed,” I simply say “Thank you!” I hope you are changing too.
