Back for More

It has been almost a year since I have posted and an extremely tumultuous one at that.  Lots of things in my life have gone up, down, sideways and in circles.  While some have been for the worse, most have been for the better if not in physical outcome but for my own personal learning growth and knowledge.

I have a lot of goals for the coming months and have been working on my vision board to help remind me every day of my priorities.  Granted I don't forget but everyone loses track without reminding.  A vision board is a wonderful tool and I'm excited to finish mine in the next few days now that the semester of school is out.

My training has been amazing and my focus is ON.  This has been the most fabulous part of the past year, seeing my progress on my body.  I love it and it makes every Rep worth it.  The five half marathons and one 36 hour relay (Ragnar - LOVE IT) made for amazing experiences and growth.  I hope to share them all with you and that you can glean something from what I went through.

While all is not "perfect" as I know it will never be - nor should it - all is great.  From what I see it will only get better.

Resolutions?

Since the last week of December I've been in the "re-organization" mode.  I know, everyone does resolutions but 9 times out of 10 they are out the window by January 15th.  I'm not a big resolution girl but did take the time to really look at 2011 and what I loved/hated about it.  With that said, I was ready to start my "Re-Org".

I started with an overall intake, when I was happiest, fittest, saddest, etc.  While taking all this in, I noticed that I'm missing something which is so important and I am ALWAYS telling my clients they need.  Balance.  When I decide to do something, it usually takes all my focus and I just drive forward at 100 mph.  The problem here is that other important things fall behind in priority and the quality of other areas of my life suffer a bit.

This isn't to say that occasionally or for one particular goal that more of your focus should be in one place, but an overall balance needs to be achieved first, then it can be tweaked to best fit the upcoming goal.  I really didn't want to make a "resolution" where I would just turn and focus on that one resolution.  Over the next year - and hopefully much much sooner - I will master the art of Life Balance.
