Purpose, passion, desire, bread crumbs

 I've tried for a few years to be a workout instructor. I failed the ACE test twice. So let the dream go like a balloon in the sky.

Then I found REFIT in 2021. I went to one class in Logan by the energizer bunny (Janna Lijenquist) and got certified the next week.  

I set a goal to practice one hour everyday. Good Idea, right?

Well for three weeks I attempted to keep that goal, with a three year old boy in my house.  That one hour workout, wasnt fitting into my schedule as easily as I had anticipated/expected/wanted/hoped.

So I realized I wasn't happy, I was disappointed in myself that I wasn't achieving my goal. So I reevaluated.  I remember reading a book "Atomic Habits" by James Clear (tiny changes, remarkable results), also attending online training with Danielle White and listening to "3 in 30 Takeaways for moms" hosted by Rachel Nielson. Rachel talked about following the breadcrumbs of your desires. They all talked about fitting in 5-10 minute habits into your life to help impact/change your life.  I said to myself, "I think I can do 10 minutes."

I finally had my first class saturday, september 18 @730 am in my neighbors backyard on her newly made pickleball court. Its a cute somewhat secluded backyard. I had 6 friends show up- Afro Turner, Lauren Hedin, Cindy Dixon, Alax Spens, Crystal, Becca Hoxer. I was a success.

I texted a friend who is a REFIT instructor Candice. I told her it went great. It was full of many mistakes, but fun. She replied, "I've never stopped making mistakes, btw... ha ha. I've learned to do what I can but accept that I'm not perfect."  That simple little text was so down to earth, real, honest and made me instantly feel more comfortable.  Exactly what I needed- accept that I'm not perfect

5-10 min a day to following your passion, purpose, desires.

So now that I have the first chunk initial routines down, Whats my next goal?

-Different songs? african, if w'ere honest song, 

-completely Different routines? paper plate workout, yoga sequence, HIIT routine

-heartwork meditations
