Maybe I'll try that way...
No one ever said that living a mindful, heart centered life was easy. In fact…it’s really hard. Some days are so full of joy you can’t believe you’ve created such bliss and other days you wonder how you’ll get to that next happy place…
I am currently in the valley instead of on the mountain top. The impatience I am feeling while looking at that next peak from the ground is wearing me down.
My most recent mindful choice has to do with my relatively new job as a personal chef. I had promised a year but it was quickly proving to not be a good fit for me. In the past I would have suffered through for fear of going back on my word, but after my last unhappy work phase of three plus years…I decided I had to be true to myself (as I read on a Facebook friend’s wall this morning, if there is no purpose, there is no joy). I know that the money I am earning has a purpose because it is paying my bills (I paid off my health coaching tuition!) but there is no joy and my happiness has always come before money. I am willing to live on less if it makes me happier. I have worked very hard over the past few years to be who I am and I think I forgot for a little while, blinded by the insecurity that sometimes comes with starting a new job.
Not to worry…I am not going to be irresponsible. I am looking for new opportunities before leaving and the need to create my own business drives me as well. I am hoping to find a balance…and get myself into a situation where I will continue to learn and grow and find purpose (and pay my bills, and return to Scotland).
I am seeing the results of intention once again, as well. As soon as I made the choice, and said I would be pursuing other avenues, friends came out of the woodwork to offer their help and possible opportunities. I have also taken the time to update my resume and finish my first health coaching brochure.
One of my biggest motivators to make a change was the fact that as a health coach I want to support people in following their bliss to find their purpose. I need to walk that same talk or I’d feel like a fraud.
Wish me luck!!!
