Happy New Year! Resolutions anyone? Mine is to have a complete “ME” year. Haha, who am I kidding? I've got kids. They could give two crepes that mommy needs some quiet time in the bath.
Last year's resolution was to get myself in shape, run some races and start a website for my “continuous journey towards health.” Well, some of it got done. I started the year off right, then - BAM! - reality hit hard. I slowly gave up and got drowned by work, kids, and just bad shit happening in the world. But, of course, like most people, I hope to pick myself back up this year and persist this time.
When I say “me time” I don't mean taking off on a solitary voyage and leaving behind responsibilities (or do I?). I really wasn't joking a few months back when I said that taking 10 minutes more a day just to fix myself up was an amazing challenge. I mean that I hope to be able to take more than 10 minutes a day. I want to take more time to organize meals for my family. I might not be getting them all to eat kale and quinoa right away, but maybe a green bean from time to time would be nice.
I am happy to have a goal in becoming a Health Coach, but after loads of Internet research, I still am not much closer on where to start. What kind of training is available for a newbie like me? Can someone that has confessed to totally being off-track make a career in helping other people get on-track? A lot of the most recommended training program that I have found require me to already have a science and nutrition background. I have found a on-line program that promises to help me fix me and get some basic knowledge. Next step, inscription? It is a little scary making that first step, especially financially. I want to make sure it is the right fit.
I hope that by working on myself, I will be more present for my family. Does it make sense that taking more time for myself will give me more quality time with my family? I hope so. Right now, my time spent with them is mostly exhausting and stressful. I am too tired and lethargic to want to actually do fun things with them and doing homework, feeding people, and just going about the regular routine usually involves someone crying (mostly me).
So I have decided with this goofball theory to make 2016 my year. My resolution is to rock it.
Anyone else in?
