Transitioning....😰
It's been almost 2 months since I stepped down from taking people through workouts, to taking myself through workouts! I seriously can't believe it!
🤸🏽♂️ August 24th marked my last day of teaching group ex.
Without skipping a beat we took off within a couple of days to Florida and St. Croix for a 2 week vacation. It really was JUST what I needed to come back to ME and to who I am...really, at the core!
😬 When I returned Monday to "reality" I was nervous for what was to come. Sure enough, at 11:00 am, I was hustling around preparing to teach class...and then it hit me. Today was the first day back of....NOT teaching! I was almost in shock. For a brief moment, I actually didn't know what to do, or how to act.
😱 So, I sat with a myriad of emotions! I had a mixture of pure joy, fear, sadness, jubilation and confusion come to my psyche all at once. After a hot minute....of the roller coaster of feelings, I came to realize that it was the first time in 32 years that I got to do what I wanted to do for a workout JUST for me!!
So. I. did. my. own. workout. It was freeing, yet interesting. I noticed I was conflicted. I had to ask...what is in MY best interest? I was so used to thinking about what was in the best interest of the class, that I never considered what was in MY best interest...
Now, every workout, I check in with ME. If I don't feel like lifting weights, I play pickleball. If I don't feel like playing pickleball, I hike. Some days I don't feel like doing ANYTHING so I rest! I really do what I want to do for the FIRST time in FOREVER and I LOVE it.
Transitioning....
Transitions can be trying! But when we check in with our most authentic self (without judgment) and ASK: What's in my highest and best interest? The answer will always come. We just need to be patient and LISTEN!
So, here's to all the transitions in life!
