I am going to celebrate generosity this week, generosity of spirit, generosity of knowledge, generosity of the heart, generosity to others.
How does this relate to Jane Thomas Pilates, I hear you asking … well, within this industry known as fitness the competition is great, lots of people appear to be offering exactly the same thing, exercise classes, newsletters, health and wellbeing, the list is endless. But in general terms
and to the outsider — it can appear to be the same.
However, I believe that although it appears to be the same, it never is, because everyone is different, we are all individuals and therefore what we offer is always going to reflect us and our individual ways. So what has this got to do with generosity, is obviously the next thing you are asking … well, in my life as a working fitness industry bod, I have always encouraged, supported and helped my fellow
instructors, teachers and coaches. I have been generous with my experience, my knowledge, my passion, my help.
My goal when I am teaching is to help people move more freely, without pain, and to help people become more aware of their own bodies and how they move, so if someone else is doing that as well, that is helping me achieve my goal. So if I can support and help this happen I see it as being a complete positive.
We are in truth
never going to offer exactly the same, because what we offer at JTP is unique to us. Whoever your Pilates Coach is you are receiving the uniqueness of this Coach — the goal may be the same, but the approach and route to achievement will always be unique. But if I can help develop that uniqueness then I will continue to encourage, to support, to share, to be generous, because at the end of the day the more people can be helped to move freely, without pain and improve their body awareness, the
happier I will be.
So celebrate this week, share away, share your gift whatever that may be, support and help to your heart’s content, and celebrate your generosity.
