| All Things Are Possible |
Day 5 of this 30 day challenge got off to a great start and
I must say that today was good day. I have completed my coursework and I am now qualified to teach mindful eating principles and techniques to my clients.
Mindfulness as it relates to eating is a great way to slow down when choosing
food, preparing food, and consuming food. Using mindfulness could possibly facilitate weight loss and heal negative emotions related to eating. I am so
excited that I will be able to bring this type of counseling to my area. I will
keep you all posted on that. The program that I was in to receive this
qualification was a 12 week course that I attended in a virtual classroom with
other professionals such as psychotherapists, other dietitians/nutritionists,
aryuvedic practitioners, yoga teachers, and social workers. After reflecting
over the material in the twelve week course I realized that I have been
committed. I made a huge financial commitment, and I sacrificed free time in
order to complete this course, so I realized that commitment can be easy and
fun if you’re interested in the task or challenge at hand.
Today, I woke up feeling extremely talkative and motivated
to really expand on this whole idea of commitment. I called my friend up bright
and early and she was quite surprised that I was up so early on a Sunday
morning. I explained to her that if we really want to live the life that we
love we have to stay committed to the idea that it is possible to be everything
that we want to be. We have to expand our way of thinking and move from the
notion that it just won’t work…..whatever it is! I’ve met countless people that
are doing what I had planned in my mind but never set out to do. I spent many
years talking myself out of things because it always seemed that the time was
never right. I was living in a fear mentality and in some aspects I still am.
Today I have been asking myself some tough questions about my current
lifestyle. I actually started envisioning myself 20-30 years from now. Would I
still be waking up every day to fight traffic to clock and do unfulfilling work
just to get to an age where I can finally retire and hopefully do all of things
that I always wanted to do? Hmmmm…..
Today is a new day! What is the worst thing that can happen
if you try and don’t succeed? Well, you’ll just try again right? I know that I
will. I have been fortunate and blessed to have some dynamic people in my
circle cheering me on, and offering support. Support is wonderful in the grand
scheme of things however, the most important type of support is the belief in
your own personal abilities. It is time to be confident and shine.
~Shine on and start creating the life that you want to live.
