Lifestyle changes

Six weeks ago I  hit overload and burnout. I got sick and had a bulging disk in my neck yet again. I was down and out for a week. Ugh.  But I realized that I really needed to make some major changes to my life. I want to feel good and love what I do. I want to spend time with my husband and dogs camping and paddling. I want to ride more and spend more time my with horses. None of this was happening. I knew the burnout would come but I kept saying I am working on it. The Universe finally had a sit down chat with me and said "No, you are done. Fix this. Now." I said "Ok".

So from there I have let a few clients go as we were no longer on the same journey and we weren't helping each other. I got more clear about the work I want. I want to have relationships with my clients and their horses. I want to be a team member with the owners, veterinarians, chiropractors, body workers, and trainers. I want to help horses rehab and get going again. And I want to be accessible to as many people as possible and I want to make a living. Reality check. What I do for a living needs to support me! If I can support me I can help more horses and people. I want to educate. I want to share what I know. I can't possibly help everyone and their horse so I must share my knowledge. I want to empower owners to know more and make the best choices possible for their horses.

After (or before or in the middle of) all that I need to take care of me. If I don't take care of the one body I have I won't be of much help to others. I hurt every day and I don't want that to continue. I don't always get my quiet time to recharge because I am over worked (my choice because I want to help) and don't always know when to say 'no'. This is where "I am working on it" wasn't working because I wasn't really doing the things I really need to be doing for my body, mind and spirit.

So I got real with myself. I sat myself down and determined who I needed to start working with to support me on my journey. One of these people is my acupuncturist. She has recommended getting a food sensitivity blood panel. I figure at this point I have nothing left to lose and that I needed to start with what I nourish my body with.

Results are in and with a gluten intolerance that I was born with and will always have plus 32 other foods I am currently sensitive to. I don't know if these 32 foods I will always be sensitive to but this is at least a starting point. I have some big changes/ to make nutritionally.

I want to share my journey with all of you. This is a big change and a lifestyle change. If I can make these changes to feel better, anyone can! It will be overwhelming. It will be disheartening. It will be joyous. And it will feel fabulous and radiant!

One of my goals is to share the ups and downs and the things I learn along the way with all of you. Writing (or typing) is one of the great outlets for me and allows me to get info out and let go. The more I let go and let flow the healthier and more radiant I will feel.
