Once more into the breach...

I have solved for success!

You guys – I have totally figured out everything. I know how to be the best most successful version of myself and look good doing it!

OK, perhaps I am overstating, but I am feeling remarkably clear about what I want and how to get there. It is a new and wonderful feeling.

How did I get this amazing clarity you ask?

Well…actually…

I don’t know entirely. But I think it has something to do with bacon and hollandaise sauce.

Seriously, I think my food choices are part of it. My brain is very happy without carbs (though there is a small voice in that brain that is still wailing for bread with my butter). Where before I would face each school day with a list and a big dose of overwhelm, now I tend to be more directed with my time. And even when I don’t ‘get anything done’, I am feeling less anxious about the whole thing. And I 100% think that this is because I am feeding and exercising my body better.

I also recently started a program to become a health coach. For the first time in a long long time, I can see a path forward career wise that really draws from my life and professional experience to date. And, most importantly – a path that I want to follow and can see many inviting opportunities along the way.

One of those opportunities is writing. I know I have always had the option to write. I know words and I have a computer (and paper and pens). But this focus – of helping people figure out how to take care of their bodies and their lives – is very freeing. No more ‘but what do I write about?’

My step one down this newly recharged interest in writing is a commitment to write about my process over the next 6 months of health coach training. I am adding an appointment to my calendar to write a post for this blog once a week for the next 6 months. Come hell or high water, I will post once a week. (I do hope I am not inviting figurative high water by making that statement).

I don’t think I have ever made a commitment like this to myself around writing. I think I’ve said ‘I will try’ or ‘I really should’, but I think there is power in the declarative: I will write. One post. On Thursday. I am also publishing this very commitment! Wow, I’m getting ballsy in my old age (or is it ovary-ish?)

I hope you enjoy, and please feel free to share.
