Hello, Steemit friends!
My name is Anne Marie May. I am brand new to the Steemit community, and I couldn’t be more excited! Although I don’t have much experience yet, I am thrilled to be a part of such an amazing platform through which to become inspired and (hopefully) inspire others!
So, since this is an introduction, I thought I’d tell you a little bit about myself so we can start to get acquainted…. I am a fitness coach and co-owner of a fitness company with my wonderful boyfriend in Santa Barbara, California. I am interested in all things health, fitness, wellness, nutrition (food in general, really), and I love to be outside - particularly on the beach! Living on the coast in one of the most beautiful places on earth brings joy to me on a daily basis, and I try to take advantage of my surroundings as much as possible.
I enjoy relaxing at least as much as I enjoy exercise so I try to do lots of each, I love to travel and haven’t done NEARLY enough of that for my taste, I relish new experiences and am fascinated by people. I smile a lot, I love to laugh, and I try to find the beauty, excitement, and fun in everything and everyone that comes my way.
I’m lucky enough to have chosen a career that that is both fun and rewarding, where I get to help people reach their goals and find motivation to grow and develop both physically and mentally every day. It’s my belief that by taking good care of the person on the inside, we find the greatest success in making positive changes on the outside.
As a health and fitness coach, most of my clients come to me asking for help transforming their bodies. Of course, right? But by digging a little deeper, I’ve found that most people really want to transform their whole LIVES. Creating a healthy physique is just one piece of the puzzle, one that many people decide to tackle first, and it’s a great place to start… But what we’re all really looking for at the end of the day is happiness, isn’t it? Comfort, peace, satisfaction, and fulfillment. It’s an undeniable theme that I’ve noticed over countless client interviews and interactions, and I think it deserves some real attention.
What I’ve realized throughout my life is that happiness has so much to do with the choices we make for ourselves, and how we choose to see the world around us - I’m proud to say that I have managed to build myself what I consider to be a very happy life, and I want to help others do the same and to keep the momentum going together!
I want everyone to feel as good as they can, and if by sharing my knowledge and leading by example I can help even one person enjoy their day a little more, then it will be worth it to me. I believe in living life with open arms and an open heart, and celebrating the little victories along the way to the big triumphs. There’s a lot to be thankful for each and every day, and being mindful and finding that joy is a skill that’s absolutely worth perfecting in my opinion!
So I would like to invite you to come with me as I share my life experiences, day to day bliss, and the best ways I’ve found to help us all become the healthiest, happiest versions of ourselves. Let’s enjoy life together - after all, isn’t that the point?
I am so grateful for this opportunity to engage with such a wonderful community of people, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for all of us.
I look forward to making new friends from all around the world and learning from and about each other - let’s connect today!
