This week I had a few good job
interviews. Two were part-time coaching jobs and one was part-time at
a weight loss clinic. I am hopeful! I also signed up to coach another
coach in Wellcoaches and have another coach to coach me. So it'll
count towards the hours I need for recertification later. Plus it
gives me the opportunity to network with others in my field. On that
note, I've gotten access to more cool things with my certified
membership. Like classes on marketing and the business of coaching.
(Building my own business is still a ways off, but hey).
And I'm still getting invitations to
webinars and things outside of Wellcoaches but still health-related.
One was about mindful eating and the Am I Hungry program. I found out
about them from the Tampa Wellness Council. I think it's great. It
kinda got me thinking about the dual messages in society nowadays.
There are the body acceptance messages and there are the messages
about trying to be physically healthy. I think the body acceptance
stuff has come as a result of people trying too hard to be healthy
(or a certain weight). But at the same time, it doesn't suggest an
attitude of giving up or not caring about your body. That's where I
think it can get confusing for some people. Oh, how I want to help!
So job, coaching, continuing education,
and reading a novel (my novel reading has been less frequent lately
but I'd been waiting on this one from the library for a while). I am
starting to get busy! But a good kind of busy. Not like how it used
to be with me commuting 3 hours a day, working for 8 ½, and barely
having time to do anything else except eat, sleep, check email, and
talk to bf. I'm also feeling like the things I want will come
eventually because I'm taking the right steps. I'm not in a rush. And
I don't feel like “I'll only be happy once I get ___.” There is
some happiness in what I'm doing now. The journey, as they say.
