I had the blessed opportunity of spending the first two weeks of this month in Texas at my sister's house. Since I was riding in the passenger seat for those 14 days, I thought March would be the perfect month for my goal of driving the speed limit. (i.e. I would actually only have to do it for half a month and therefore have a higher chance of succeeding.)
Well. I started driving on the 14th, and on the 19th I gave up on my goal. Fail. So there you have it. I'm really good at speeding and I'm really not good at not speeding.
Here's what the month taught me:
1. Sometimes you fail at your goals. Oh wait. I already knew that. I've failed plenty of other goals. And that's fine.
2. If you're gonna set a goal, make sure it's one you actually want to do, or else you won't do it.
3. When you realize you set the wrong goal, just pick a new one!
Would you like to hear my new goal??
You may recall I started a holistic nutritionist program online last year and it's been a real treat. In one of my classes, we've spent a lot of time talking about what we actually want to do as nutritionists -- what kind of clients we want to attract, and what our niche will be. Considering my background, you would probably think it was obvious what niche I would choose, but I honestly wasn't sure. I toyed around with a few ideas for a while, and eventually settled into this: Fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum.
It's been a couple months since that decision, which means I've had time to doubt and worry and reconsider and etcetera. Even with all of that, I still feel good about it. In fact, I feel great.
So, these last two weeks at work I've had the lucky opportunity to spend time with dozens of pregnant women in a similar capacity to what I want to do with my actual career, and guess what. I. Love. Pregnant women. And babies. And families. And everything about all of that.
It's been HEAVEN!! You guys!!!!! I've found my future. And it's not slow driving.
My new goal is to start taking real steps toward my transition into my nutritionist life. These steps include things like finalizing intake forms, getting a logo, getting a business license (or whatever you have to do...), etc. I want to start working with real people at the beginning of June. And I'm so excited. I think about it all the time.
Basically, March taught me that I've chosen the right career. I can't even wait.
