BIG CHANGES
Hello lovely people I hope that you are all well and have all just had a wonderful long bank holiday weekend. On Sunday morning I returned from one of the most incredible weeks in Croatia. Now as you know I've done a few posts on mental health on this blog and a few recently and I am really trying to make the change in my life to improve my mental health. So here goes.
I had the most amazing week away, I travelled by myself and it was such a freeing experience I had no one else to worry about and it was so nice for myself to be my only priority as this is very rarely the case. I spent the whole week doing absolutely nothing which is you have read any of my post you will know is an absolute miracle. I felt so happy and so content. Yes I had my good and my bad days however I spent time during my week away to listen to the Chimp Paradox (audiobook). This is a truly wonderful book and helps you to understand you mind and the reasons behind how it works and why sometimes you can almost wake up and think why was I feeling that or behaving like that. I think that in order for me to put this book to practice I will have to listen to it again and make more notes however it was a very useful book to listen to.
This year at uni I have also planned to make some big changes. First off NO ROWING, I did enjoy it this past year however I feel like it will be best for my mental health if I didn't continue. I still love the gym and keeping fit but now instead of competing my sights are set on helping others love what they do as well. So this year I am taking a swim teacher training course so that I can coach swimming which has been and will always be my first love and I'm so glad to be going back to it. If you read back in a previous blog I believe I explained all of the way I believe that swimming and sport helped shape the person I am today and I'd love to be able to help younger kids find a love for the sport. I am also hoping to take my pt level 2 certificate. This will allow me to potentially coach classes at the gym at uni and I'm hoping to start a HIIT circuit class for some of the girls on my course and grow it from there, I'll also have the possibility of taking some classes at the gym I go to at home during the holidays which will be so amazing to be able to be in a place I love so much and be able to be helping others. I have also promised myself 1 rest day a week I believe that this will help me to achieve my goals, with rowing there were no rest days and so I had it in my mind that this was the right way to go about it and to constantly train but I realise now that it is not. Now that I'll also have weekends I'll be able to relax and spend time going to see friends and also doing some work! I can't wait for this year and all it is going to bring to the table I want to develop myself as a coach and a student and a friend. I know that this year I have become cut off and very destructive in my mindset towards myself however this year I am going to do everything in my power to change this, I do admit that I need help as I've realised I can't fix everything by myself and learning to accept help from others is going to be good for me, I know I don't have to constantly be pleasing other and that I can do things for me that make me happy without answering to other people.
In other news I have a new puppy, now as a family we didn't want to buy a puppy we wanted to adopt preferably a GSP from Serbia however due to my parents working hours this became a near impossible task despite having owned a GSP for 17 years! So everyone welcome Luna into the family she's a little whippet 13 weeks old and she sleeps most of the day with the occasional crazy 30 mins, she's already established herself as a sofa dog but we adore her and just pray that training continues to go well.
I hope that you all have a wonderful rest of your week and don't forget to count your blessings and smile at others because you never know it could make their day.
