Just Start!





I laid in bed having no zeal to start gym. (Yes it is difficult!)

Kept telling myself that once I feel like it, I would do it. 
Yet I didn't get that feeling at all. 
journey

So, looking for some inspiration, I watched a TED Talk and the message was definitely something I needed to hear- You're not going to feel like doing it most times, so do it ANYWAY! 

Simple, truthful reminder but powerful impact. I looked at how many times I waited for the "right moment" to do something. And reflecting on this made me realize that I was sometimes scared of
something. 
Fear is something that can keep anyone of us stuck in our comfort zone because we know it's safe and we are familiar with the territory. 

That's not always a good thing.

Staying in the comfort zone can stunt growth. And when I realised the things that I wanted to try and the possibilities of what can be....I decided to just start.

Thinking about developing a new skill?- JUST START

Want to open a new business?- JUST START

Trying to become more healthy ?- JUST START

Waiting for the "right moment?"- JUST START

Taking that first step out of the comfort zone can have SO many rewards. It is not easy and it may be messy but guess what, it's progress! 

Writing my 1st blog post is one of my "just start" moments. I've always wanted to write and share my thoughts to help motivate others. 

But life happened....

And despite it all, my desire to write never left. Sooooooo here I go....I've started!

A Pick Me Up

 Do you have a pick me up? You know, something you can read on the days when you feel like you want to stay in bed forever because, honestly, things can get overwhelming. Life can become a bit too much.  And to help myself feel better, I tend to turn to my comfort food (ice cream!) to help with this.  But there are days when food isn't enough... Sometimes negative thoughts consume you and you don't believe you are good enough or deserve good things to happen to you. Sometimes we compare ourselves to others and situations and then come to the conclusion that we are no good.  It can happen anytime and anywhere- workplaces, schools, places of worship and the list goes on.  I've had many of those days. My pillows are can testify to the number of days when I cried myself to sleep or just didn't feel as if I was good enough. I listened to something that should not have been given much thought and it dampens my mood.  But you know what?  It is important to re...

Different Path. Same Goal.

  While working in Grenada, there was a program that became available for employees to access sessions with a career coach. I remember sitting in her office as we discussed my current career as well as my goals for the upcoming years.  One of those goals involved going to the US for training, however, there was another opportunity that was offered to us-the option of going to the UK for training instead.  As I reviewed the prospects with my coach, it seemed so easy on paper as we wrote down the pros and cons of moving to either country as well as the career opportunities each offered.  For years I wanted to go to the US for training-did the exams, did my rotations, and attended conferences in my specialty choice to boost my chances. Despite doing what I could have, it just didn't work out when I wanted it to.  But I was determined to keep trying.  This determination however was challenged by my coach when we looked at the pros and cons of each training post...
