The Journey

When I originally started this post I was fixed on coaching women.  That is where I wanted to go, but my journey has brought me back to my first love - education.
Although that was the basis of my goal I wanted to speak to women such as myself.  I do speak to women just like myself and they tell me a lot about myself - my gifts, my drive, love for family and the importance of having good friends around you.

On my Self Confidence Coach page I did not get to speak to the huge seminar of women that I had hoped to,  I speak in small groups in which I facilitate learning about self love and self care.
The large amount of my work this year has been with children and young adults.  Just being instead of doing has been my most successful work.

On my journey I'm learning that eating wholesome nutritious food 3 - 5 times per day is good. So is regular exercise on waking for me and a walk at lunchtime.
 Starting my morning commute with a friend is priceless. You can talk away all your frustrations. Car sharing will be a new habit of mine.
Taking time for myself to recharge especially at a Spa - love those places.
At least 2 Sundays in the month at Church.
Listening to my favourite music while doing tasks I dislike is great.
Creating memories with my family is also good and I do not need to be on holiday to do it.
Giving back is great.  The choir that I am a member of do not just sing but give out tea and cookies, give gifts to those in need.
Lounging on the sofa has its place but for me it is not something I should do habitually as its not a great headspace for me.

Accepting myself whatever weight I am is key.  I put some of the weight I lost back on but I am happy with myself. I love rediscovering the child I aml 
I think this year's photo that I will admire about myself is one at my friend's party with a bouncy castle.
