Wow, what a crazy time it has been lately! As many know, I spent 3 months with the United Way of Central Indiana this fall, away from my normal position at St.Vincent Health. It was refreshing to be doing something so completely different from what I was used to. I am now back at SV, and I'm noticing that all those issues I was so frustrated with are not that big of a deal now. I was so involved before my hiatus that I couldn't take a step back and see the forest before the trees. Thanks to my time away, I feel refocused, re-energized, and ready to take on new challenges.
Speaking of new challenges, I'm also ready to challenge myself physically and mentally. I've decided to take on the role of a BeachBody Coach. I absolutely love the Turbo Jam workout DVDs, and I eventually want to try the P90X program as well. Through this interest, I met an amazing woman in Indianapolis. Julie Voris has more energy than I ever thought possible! Plus sincerity and passion radiate from her. She is pushing me to become what I know I can be - a better me. More fit, healthy, and confident. I am very, very new to this but I know that I will be here to help you with fitness and nutrition questions and needs. (Don't worry, I'm trained in public health, and BeachBody gives us an enormous amount of information to pull from!) I am a true believer in making fitness fun; if it's not enjoyable, we wouldn't do it! That's what Turbo Jam and Turbo Kick is for me. It's fun, plain and simple. So I'm completely jumping out of my comfort zone and diving head-first into this venture!
Since the beginning of my experience with United Way in August, I've noticed a complete change in me. I'm much more confident in myself, more outspoken, and I feel more energized and excited about what the day will bring. I've found a love for marketing and social media. (I heard a great quote yesterday, "Social media is not a fad. It's a fundamental shift in communication." Love it!) Using social media to send information to others in a sincere manner is something I'm very excited to utilize in my future career steps (and my BeachBody venture).
I have no idea where all this is going to take me, and I'm not going to try to figure it out. I'm going along for the ride, and making the best of whatever I can. I truly believe there is a purpose for everything, and I'm putting my trust in that.
