Here is my 5 why’s, I am sure they will shift and change throughout my lifetime.
Check this out.
1) Why do I want to pursue deep health?
I want to wake up energized, with happy joints and a flexible body, and a sharp brain.
2) Why is waking up energized, with happy joints and a flexible body and a sharp brain important?
I want to be able to do a great job for my clients, to take care of my house, to be in a good mood for myself and my partner, and I super duper do not want some of the diseases of my family of origin.
Oh, see how each question gets a little deeper.
3) Why is it important for me to be able to do a great job for my clients, to take care of my house, to be in a good mood for myself and my partner, not get some of the diseases of my family or origin?
Because memory problems and heart disease, and a wee bit of cancer run in my family.
Witnessing those things has been painful, and I don’t want that pain for myself or my family if I can help it, and I know that movement, nutrition density, and stress reduction can help all these things.
Also , having a high say/do ratio feels really good to me, I want to know that I show up for myself. Building trust with myself reminds me I am worthy of care and that I am responsible for the care of myself.
And I want to model that for my clients…
Now its getting juicy! YES!
4) Why is it important to keep up the say/do ratio, model these things for clients, and not get those diseases?
I want to be trustworthy, to myself and my people (partner, family, friends, clients). Meaning I show up, I can count on me and they can count on me. Accountability. I also want to experience all life has to offer, and I want my clients to as well. I want to be able to care of our aging parents. I want to say yes to life adventures that call out to me, and not have my body or brain holding me back. And I do want that for my clients as well.
Oh yeah, I like this!
5) Why do I want to be trustworthy, show up, be accountable and say yes to life adventures, and also have your clients feel that?
To experience joy in life! On my own and with others! I want my clients to also revel in joy and feel confident trying new things.
DANG. See how I got to the heart of it. My first answer was good and true but the deep motivation got more clear as I cruised a bit deeper.
