Hi, my name is Ai (43) and I am from Japan.

In 2019, I was diagnosed with a herniated disc (L4/L5) which caused me tremendous pain and limitations in my life. Due to the help of Andrew’s last program, I was able to overcome my injury, eliminate the pain, and get my life back.

However, I still struggled with the fear of pain coming back, leaving me hesitant to go back to the activities I used to love, like CrossFit and weightlifting. I realized I needed to work on my mindset, but did not know how- until I joined Whealth.

Whealth taught me how to create healthy habits and put them into practice on a daily basis. I started feeling happier, more positive and open-minded, motivated, and confident. By learning how to improve my mindset, I have healed from my biggest injury: fear. I no longer worry about old pain coming back as I have worked through the negative emotions that my back injury once caused. I now see the pain and other struggles that I face in my life as opportunities to learn and grow. I am truly living in the present, for the first time in my life. I am back to doing Crossfit and weightlifting, confident and pain-free.

Throughout the program, I took small and consistent actions every day to improve my overall wellbeing. Some of the healthy habits I learned from Whealth and continue to practice are:

1. Journaling - which has become an effective tool for me to express my emotions and thoughts and reflect on my learning experiences and progress. 

2. Eating a well-balanced, whole-food-based diet.

3. Breathing and meditation - which help me reduce my stress and control my emotions and behaviors.

Being consistent to create healthy habits would have been challenging without the support and encouragement from the Whealth community, where I met people from all over the world who are on the same journey. This community is a place where I feel comfortable asking for help, being vulnerable, and sharing my personal experiences. I am grateful to this amazing community for helping me keep consistent and motivated.

I believe that life is an endless learning experience and am looking forward to learning more from Whealth’s next program, to achieve and maintain a well-balanced lifestyle.
