Vincent De Jager: My Story
I grew up in the industry. While I was a toddler, I spent several hours a day at the front desk of a small gym at which was then called a Holiday Inn. This was the only gym in my small town and my parents were members. As I grew into a very awkward teenager, I found solace in training and found that it helped with my self- esteem and my sport. Training moulded me into the person that I am today and without it I would have been someone totally different.
I realised at a very young age that nothing is for free and everything, if you are proud of it, takes dedication, blood, sweat and tears. But there is no better feeling in this world when you achieve knowing that you have done the work.
I have also veered off course and had gained 40kg. I became depressed and had no energy. I was unproductive and in a very toxic relationship. This was a very dark time in my life.
I had to rescue myself. I had to survive. I started to exercise, and I started eating healthier. I had to work through my own obstacles. It was one of the hardest lessons that I had ever learned. I had forgotten how important self -trust was or what it was at all.
I started reading and studying everything I could about what mindfulness was and what it meant to be focussed and in the moment. I started making changes and not expecting too much too soon. I learnt what habits are and how they are formed. I started consuming myself with information.
I am proud to say that I am now in a position where I can pass on what I have learnt. What worked for me and what worked for my clients. I have also had the privilege to work with some incredible people, some where teachers, some clients some clients were teachers, and some teachers became clients, but the best part is that we learnt from one another.
“We should strive to make Improvement. When Improvement is no longer necessary, we stop learning and deteriorate.“
