My lockdown meltdown

April 5, 2020 By joanna

It now 3 weeks of lock down, and I had a meltdown.
Yesterday, I was having a rough day.

I was feeling totally lost, unsure of my purpose and just feeling totally down. 
At times I felt alone, too.
At times I was scared of very limited income coming in because of the pandemic and how the hell am I supposed to make this all work?

Sometimes I have no fear and have faith it will all work out.  Often I help others out of their funk and offer light into their situation.

Most times I am pretty optimistic and can move through issues by regrouping…as I have with the Daily Inspirational cards and videos posted on YouTube.  I can usually keep it together and be strong for others.

Yesterday was not that day.

I had no inspiration.  I had no direction.  I allowed myself to be lost and just be… and wallow if I wanted to.

I went for a walk and my hip hurt.  My hip I have learned is my indication that I am not aligned with my purpose or I am not being myself fully.  But I kept walking even with my hurting hip.  I wanted to be outside.
I went further than I probably should have in my MBT instability shoes….and I kept asking myself….’where am I misaligned with who I am?  Where am I misaligned with my purpose?  How the hell am I supposed to regroup yet again? wth?’

Somewhere I re-engaged a muscle group and hip feels better even today. Somewhere I just enjoyed the fresh air and stopped worrying about trying to figure ‘it’ out.

I kept breathing and walking until I got home.   I was stiff but the pain was minimal.

I allowed myself to be where I was and give myself permission not to be productive as I wasn’t feeling I had direction.

Then a friend texted me to check in.  And I texted my situation. …’I am questioning my purpose right about now.’

He texted back  “Your purpose is to be who you are and that is a healing kind soul.”

I responded with wanting to ‘create some new online programs…but what do people want? Need??’

He responded again ‘it’s not about people, it’s about you’

and then I totally had my meltdown with not being able to answer the question of ‘who am I?’

I spent the afternoon mulling the ‘it’s about you….’ and let my thoughts wander.

I took a nap although I thought I was fully rested….and listened to some simon sinek video later that evening listening to his thoughts on finding your why…

I realized, I still had my why.  I want to inspire people to feel better.  I want them to eat, move and sleep better and feel better about themselves.

My why is to inspire others to find happiness in who they are, and love the skin they are in by feeding their body, mind and soul with absolute self-love.

I want others to really know what it is their body needs and provide tools so they can continue to tap into who they are, what their body needs intuitively so they eat, move and sleep better, have a better relationship with themselves by choosing to be loving to self first.

I create that safe space to help you heal emotional scars and criticisms that made you criticize yourself.  Lord knows, I had plenty of those growing up and through my own journey of self-discovery and healing with The Path To Heal system that these can be healed with love.  If I can do it, you can heal with love, too.  It is why I created the Be Whole program!

I want to help you peel those layers of who you are not so the true you can be.  I want you to feel whole, not full of holes.

It had to have my own little pandemic meltdown to realize I AM an intuitive nutrition and energy therapy coach.  I want people to be loving to who they are!

Thank you Rick for texting me and saying what I needed to hear.  

Still unsure of what is next but I definitely needed a day to feel upside down and have my pandemic meltdown.

Good to have one day of feeling upside down as today I am feeling much better and helped a client get a step closer to her happiness.

As the photo on the right says, You cannot calm the storm, but you can calm yourself.
My storm did pass and I can help you get calm so your storm is less of a meltdown and you recover quicker to who you are, your why and your purpose.

Now, shall I create new programs online?  What would you want to learn?  Or should I ask, what do I love to teach?  I mean, it IS about me, right?
So I will be creating online workshops helping you learn what I already know about fueling the body, mind, spirit and sport.

If you are having a challenge or a pandemic meltdown, or too much stress, please reach out and we may schedule a healing session or just talk and allow you to vent.

My diet has significantly improved!

"Just wanted to send you a quick note thanking you for the help when we worked together in the fall.  My diet is significantly improved thanks to your guidance.  I celebrate small victories like filling most of the shopping cart at the grocery store in the produce section!  I remain hooked on smoothie concoctions for breakfast adding kale and a bunch of other good stuff.  Lunch is the rainbow with raw veggies, nuts and lean proteins. 


As my training continues to ramp up for season i do make sure i am adding enough carbs but eating mostly whole fresh foods.  Training is going well, i just PR'd half marathon at 1:29, and feel great.


Thanks again for your help!

Joanna helps with any aspect of your health

 


"Joanna is not only about the physical part of nutrition but about the root of emotional health which many times contributes to so many things physical. I know she helps with any aspect of your health.

I had multiple problems and we are addressing them at a healthy pace.

Felt great the entire time

I got this response on how the half Ironman 70.3 race went for my client - his first at this distance

We did a Table To Race ironman nutrition plan 2 days prior:



“somehow, some way...[I finished although under-trained]


but seriously, i had my best swim ever and felt GREAT the entire time... which i truly believe was because i followed your [Table to Race nutrition] plan religiously.

that was by far the longest race i've ever done and the best i've ever felt in any race.

i'm really happy with my time... once i learn to get my wetsuit off faster and remember to put sunscreen on BEFORE the swim, i'll be even faster.

i'm really truly happy. thank you so, so much!

you were a huge part of this!”


I am so thrilled for them!!

Congratulations and so happy you felt great!!

Joanna is a life saver!

Joanna is a life saver! 


She helped me with an issue that doctors had no answers for.  She was able to assess my situation accurately and provide me with a totally natural remedy of magnesium, natural salts, and electrolytes.


The “prescription” she gave me for using these supplements has worked wonders and I am feeling much better and continuing to improve each month.  

I schedule ongoing consultations with Joanna to make sure I am on track. 



I highly recommend her – she is very intuitive and accurate with her assessments and protocols for wellness.  - IS

It made a huge difference for me!

"I decreased my sugar intake with the help of @ Joanna Chodorowska and it has made a huge difference for me. I was already eating healthy.

The problem is that a lot of seemingly "healthy" food contains hidden sugar.

Note: We used the Anti-Inflammatory Plan with NRT to get to the source of the issue.

The first to mention digestive enzymes

"Joanna was the first nutritionist I've ever talked to who mentioned stomach/digestive enzymes (to help with my psoriasis issues).

I've since learned how important they are, to EVERYONE, not just me with my skin issues.

Sure you could incorporate fermented foods into your diet, but for me, this was the way to go."

Such an expert

"Joanna is such an expert in her field. Her sports nutrition and coaching for athletes is unmatchable. If you are prepping for game/race day, be sure to include her nutrition plans as part of your training regimen.


If you're not training for a marathon, don't let that keep you from using her.

She has an awesome program for those who are just getting started in making changes in their eating lifestyle.

She makes it easy to follow, fun and as painless as possible to get on the road to a healthier you.


She knows that nutrition is not one size fits all so the plans she develops with you, reflect not only proper nutrition, but foods you enjoy. She offers cooking classes too! For those that have excellent self discipline and are looking for a challenge to jump start themselves....do the detox plan."

Joanna is a body-mind-spirit professional

I began working with Joanna a year or so ago after a stay in the hospital for kidney stones and an E Coli infection. I was concerned about what would best serve my nutritional needs and keep my kidneys healthy. In addition, my a 1 c was elevated indicating borderline diabetes. It is a condition that runs in the family so I wanted to be proactive. Simultaneously, the pandemic necessitated quarantine so our monthly sessions were an anchor to some sense of normalcy in an abnormal time. 


I'm not someone who responds well to 'You have to..." Joanna's style is guidance and suggestion, without absolutes. As a result of our time together, my a1c lowered to within normal range and I lost 20 lbs. 


Some of our sessions were spent exploring long-standing attitudes and behavioral patterns that didn't serve me and I was able to see my way clear of many of them.


Joanna is a body-mind-spirit professional whose services can be offered either in person or online. With her supportive coaching, you will experience positive life changes too.

Greater degree of normalcy than I expected

"I started working with Joanna a little over a year ago, after being diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. After creating and following a gluten free diet plan for the last year, I have felt so much better!


My blood tests show a great reduction in inflammatory markers, and my digestion improved.


Joanna also went above and beyond by helping me manage other issues related to women's health, stress, and lifestyle.


Overall, Joanna helped me return my health (and life) to a degree of normalcy greater than I ever could've hoped for."

Joanna also went above and beyond by helping me manage other issues related to women's health, stress, and lifestyle. Overall, Joanna helped me return my health (and life) to a degree of normalcy greater than I ever could've hoped for."  GA

I am able to stay healthier!

"BECAUSE I have worked with you in the Be Whole program, I have been able to stay healthier despite the stress of COVID, my mother in the hospital and losing my job. 



It is because you taught me how to expand my nutrition options which were best for me.  You worked through my stress and showed me how emotional support is critical to my health.   I can consciously see more positive now, and how it is related to my eating." - GT

Meeting you was the best thing!

Dear Joanna,


Thank you for helping me to appreciate and to help my body to be amazing. Your advice is still ringing in my ears even 10 years later.


Be well and keep up the great work. Meeting you at BNI (Business Networking International) was the best thing that happened to me through that group.


Your friend, with love,

TN

Joanna is terrific – she gives you options!

"Joanna (the main nutritionist) is terrific - she’s met me where I am, and never once used the word “should.” I’m convinced it’s this friendly, nonjudgmental atmosphere that’s allowed me to make slow but steady progress toward my goal of eating healthier to ward off the inflammation and pain caused by my back problems.



She doesn’t give you rules - she gives you options, suggestions... I’ve been able to make changes already that I never would have believed possible, and I’d recommend Nutrition in Motion to anyone who asked.

I was able to move into peace versus anger

"I was able to move into peace rather than anger after our Be Whole session with emotional release.

You were able to get to the issue quickly and 'release this shit' so I could move on."  LF
