What holiday?!?!
So the good news is that I managed to survive my christmas holiday season. I’m alive and well in 2010 which if you had asked me if that was plausible 2 weeks ago I would have told you absolutely not!
Right before Christmas I was faced with some news that was inevitable. The news was indeed bittersweet. I ended up in a funk to beat all funks. I couldn’t sleep, I wasn’t hungry, my stomach flopped around 24-7 – so good times all around.
This funk was not to be tackled on my own. There was no way that I could have weathered this internal storm without my support crew by my side. So I learned very quickly to ask for help and immediate help at that.
All in all I managed to return to a manageable way of life within a few days. I suffered another minor upset where my support team (friends, coaches, loved ones) stood by my side, listened to me and offered me tissues when tears were shed.
And so the new year is here. I have been able to turn around the news and feel comfortable with it and know that my life will continue to move forward and get better. Not that it was horrible to begin with but I have had some stumbling blocks that I have struggled with for a while now that were starting to get on my nerves.
Though the stress was great, the lessons learned and the growth that I achieved on a personal basis far outweighs the situation that presented itself. However without the techniques that I have learned through my sessions I’m not sure the growth factor would have been as great or as smooth.
I’m grateful for the strength that my team gave me and the ideas that they provided to help me through some very tough times. I’m sure there are still bumps and bruises along the way but I know I have people I can count on to help me plow through the stressful times.
A part of my therapy to help me define myself and where I am in my life was to redecorate my room. It was still stuck in my past of being married and as this is no longer the case I needed to claim that room for myself. With help and much time and effort the room is now perfectly me. The energy is so much different and it will give me the chance to reconnect to the new me after getting through the holiday season.
And so I’m excited to start the new year. I’m thrilled about where I am in life at this point in time. It’s all a matter of getting back on track and making great things happen for me and the people around me.
I’m off to write down my goals for 2010 and then make my wishes come true 
All the best to everyone this year.
