Today was my work's All Employee Day. This is a day where all the employees meet for a day filled with special speakers and some work oriented training. This years topic was surrounding change. We explored within ourselves how we tolerate change, steps of change, and in the end a promise to ourselves. We all were presented with a 30 day challenge to find something to work on which would make the biggest impact of our lives from the changes we have experienced throughout the last year. This topic stopped me dead in my tracks. Here is a topic I am constantly facing in different aspects of my life, but it seems like it is more front of mind as of the last few months. In the past year I have experienced so many new things: new home, new relationship and job changes just to name a few. Throughout these changes I feel like I forgot to take care of myself. I am constantly on the move and always willing to drop things for myself to help others. I am re-committing myself to this journey. Short term it may be for the 30 day change, but I am hoping this challenge will be just the beginning of the change.
I started this blog 6 months ago to hold myself accountable to a healthier lifestyle. At the time I was mainly focused on the physical aspect of healthy meals and working out. I have fallen down multiple times and at times used one set back to allow another. Deep down I have realized there was more to finding myself, but have been avoiding it. I keep thinking "I'll start new next week" but here we are 6 months later. It is not only a quest of diet and exercise. I also need to focus on soul searching to help me along this journey. It will not be easy, there may be tears of what is discovered, but I feel it is truly necessary to become a healthier person inside and out.
