So, yes, it's been awhile since I've written here. From the last time I wrote, I ended up getting my letter from NY State about my remaining massage therapy license requirements; taught another willPower & Grace class (and rocked it!); and then took a training to be certified to teach Insanity. I also will be starting to teach Tabata class as well, which is very similar to Insanity, but has a different class design. Yep, I've been busy! But it's really been a good busy because I'm growing in so many ways. I'm stepping more out of my "protective-familar-feeling" shell and taking chances. Chances I would've NEVER taken in the past.
In all the teaching and learning I've been doing, I also came to the conclusion that I don't want to do Massage Therapy professionally, and want to do more teaching and coaching. Now, I know what you're thinking,"But you spent so much time getting all your stuff into NY State". Well, if you're not thinking that, I sure was!
But then I stopped myself from going down that road and said, "Hey! This is actually a good thing because now I know what I really want to focus on." Now I know what and where my passion truly is. I love to teach and have been going in that direction more. It makes me happy and energized, so why not go with something that makes me feel that way. When I thought about going back to massage school to get the rest of my hours, there was no excitement. Of course, I LOVE to learn, and I would be learning new things, as well as reviewing previous material. But that spark wasn't there, and it didn't feel right.
I want to inspire others to make changes in their lives. I want to teach people how to do it, where to begin, and give them the tools to do it.
I can teach them self-massage and bodywork, so they learn how to ease discomfort or tension in their body. I can also use ALL the tools I've learned from yoga training, dance and butoh, holistic health training and the fitness programs I completed.
Ever since I made this decision, I have felt lighter, happier, and excited! I feel more space and more flow. Of course, I hit bumps, and sometimes a halt, but I keep going. Even when I don't want to.....
