"People were coming to me to enhance their body, but it was their mind that was holding them back, and the spirit was suffering." Michael Rizk
Whether it's New Year resolutions or just a decision you make to take better care of yourself, the most difficult part is execution.
Have you ever wondered why most of us have such negative attitude toward self-care?
Earlier this Spring I invited our today's guest to speak with my students about ways to make self-care enjoyable. I'm joined by Michael Rizk. At the core of his existence, Michael is a game-changer.
He’s been serving the health, fitness and wellness industries since 2000. Michael background is in personal training, soft tissue therapy, chain reaction biomechanics, change management and he’s a teacher at heart.
Michael’s passion comes alive when he's helping people get from "here to there". Whatever roadblock: mental, emotional, physical or spiritual, he operates in the best interests of his clients, helping them overcome their perceived obstacles.
He defines success as his client’s ability to stand strong on their own two feet, far beyond his care.
In 2010, Michael discovered that while people were coming to him to enhance their Body, it was their Mind holding them back and their Spirit that was suffering. Since then, he’s developed a Mind-First Approach®, in which he works through the Mind to uplift the Spirit and transform the Body.
This inside-out, revolutionary approach has inserted joy, contentment and fulfillment back into the process of self-care. He’s come to realize that when you build happiness into one’s life, their health follows.
When Michael’s not working with clients or presenting his approach to health professionals, you’ll find him exploring contemplative psychology, cultural anthropology, biocognition and absorbing new information pertaining to the MindBodySpirit connection.
He writes a daily blog called the Whole Person that is committed to inspiring people to show up for themselves.
By the end of this episode, you'll enjoy Michael's philosophy and perhaps will rethink your own approach to self-care.
