I realized recently that my anxiety is kind of under control. That is to say I'm not gnawing away at body parts. My finger nails are growing back. That doesn't seem like much to a lot of people but I've always been a nail biter. I stopped for a few years but over the last few or so I have obliterated them. I don't have a lifestyle where getting manis and/or pedis is a real thing. You'd be surprised if my hair was not in a ponytail more than two days a week. But a small gesture like hearing t-t-t-tap on the table tells me my life isn't as going as badly as it feels lately.
I'm ok. I'm working hard at bettering myself. I spent a whole 50 bucks on healthy food. $50 of healthy food isn't a lot when you eat 6 times a day but it's a start. I have put one foot in front of the other. I have committed to a week. I start on Monday... Well I started today but officially on Monday. Somewhere between dentist and work will be all the veggies and protein I can take!
I haven't had a paid vacation in, well ever actually. Next week I get two paid vacation days. It's not exactly a vacation I'm going on. But it's a trip I need. A trip to Success School. I am committing to my goals. I am committing to myself. Success School is an annual AdvoCare event. The largest AdvoCare event. I expect to laugh and I expect to cry. Genuine people have that effective on me. And genuine people are all the people I have met on this journey. Genuine advocates who care. I expect to feel a fire in my heart and I'm looking forward to it.
Two weeks from today, Summer Sweat Camp begins and I've been gifted this opportunity. The opportunity to feel like I'm giving me my best. I am going into this with an idea. I have friends who brought FIA to their neck of the woods and they burrowed a dream in my heart. FIA stands for Females in Action. It's a FREE, peer-lead, exercise program. The goal is to get moving with a group of supportive, like-minded friends. It's the greatest idea since sliced bread, IMHO.
I've always had dreams of bettering the world and the community around me. Since finding the AdvoCare community I've really focused that mindset. I want to bring health and wellness to those who cross my path. I have a long-term dream of opening my own yoga studio in the historic district on main street in my hometown because health and wellness aren't just about eating right and exercising. FIA gives me a start at building relationships and my physical health at the same time. And this sweat camp feels like a little fuel to my fire. I can't wait to see what happens.
These are just a few of the thoughts and slivers of the dreams that pass through my mind daily. I actually have a physical vision board on my door. Maybe one day we'll delve into that basket of crazy. Until then, goodnight & good luck... Seriously, whatever you wanna do, best of luck!!
