FUN - it's a word that's been coming up a lot for me lately. First, me questioning where all the fun has gone...then thinking about what fun things we could do with the last few weeks of summer, me trying to find ways to have fun in the little moments and everyday things. Realizing that fun doesn't have to mean irresponsible (you can still be a responsible human and have fun)...and bringing more fun into my work as well!
The reason I set down this path of health coaching has a lot to do with fun actually...it was a big decision to leave my corporate job but a huge part of it was because I just wasn't having fun anymore. I wasn't feeling challenged and I wasn't learning a whole lot. Days were dragging because I couldn't find the joy in what I was working on. Then I dug deep and looked at what would be fun for me to do everyday. What would be exciting and nourishing and uplifting? I love trying my best to be healthy - I love moving my body through exercise, trying new recipes that are good for you, meditating to calm my mind and find peace, trying new supplements and health products....why? Because I find it fun :)
It's a challenge to try to be the healthiest version of me and also to help other women do the same! It's amazing and uplifting and joyful when someone I have helped tells me that they feel like a whole new person -- that they are excited because they have worked out 4 times that week, have been consistently drinking water, have had way fewer headaches because they've been conscious about how much caffeine and sugar they are consuming. That they prepped a week's worth of veggies on Sunday and feel so much better about what they are feeding themselves and their family for dinner that week....it makes me feel happy because I know they are doing good things for themselves and the people they love. It's that joyful feeling I get when I see the confidence emerge in them again...that to me is the definition of fun.
I am so grateful to be living this life - and finding fun wherever I can. I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to find fun in my everyday - in my work and in my life overall - with those I love and with those I am hoping to help.
If you've been feeling a little down lately and need a boost, send me a message. I'd love to chat and help you find more FUN in your life too :)
