There has been a direct positive effect on my parenting of my 4 year old, in my body awareness, allowing me to return to running (which is really important to me), in my capacity to handle the daily stresses, capacity to deal with background noise and it is also increasing my empathy toward others, which indirectly helps decrease sources of anger.
What made me realize I needed help was the numbness I felt to the environment and nature during a hike in the mountains. Something that had always made me re-energize, connect, and settle, was leaving me indifferent. I first started with Irene’s 21 Day program and then moved on to SmartBodySmartMind. I have just gotten back from hiking/running the same trail on which I had the realization last year and it is the first time that I can sense this inner feeling of energy and calm at the same time and connection with the nature around. I am so grateful to have found this work and can’t imagine how I could have gone further without it.

I still have a lot of work to do and realize that it is not a linear progression but I am so grateful to have found this lifestyle and even though I still have tough decisions regarding my life ahead which are causing anxiety, fear, stress, I feel better equipped to address those decisions and am aware that my resources to deal with those reactions have developed. I am sending you all a slice of this re-found energy wherever you may be on your journey! Thank you for the opportunity to share.
