Since the start of the new year, and basically before it I have been so busy trying to prioritize all of the items I have on my agenda. So to follow up--- I've been in deep thought about this whole making time to blog and blogging about things that people will want to read about. I can easily make a 5 minute story into a 30 minute story without even trying, this of course cuts into my already busy schedule. I was introduced to the idea of Vlogs (video blogs) and at first hated the idea because I don't even enjoy listening to or watching a video of myself... but the more I thought about it, the better of an idea I thought it could turn into! This being said, I am hoping to make my blog a combo between written and video blogs!
---How 2012 Brought Me to a Brand New Me in 2013---
I am looking forward to 2013 beyond words. Some of you that read my other blog may know that my 2012 was a great challenge, mentally, physically, and emotionally. Many changes occurred in my life during 2012 and honestly, I am so grateful for each of them... I would not be the person that I am today without having gone through the tough times. The tough times that I went through made me into a stronger, smarter, wiser, motivated and determined individual. I was talking to my two roommates last night, one of which went through a very difficult break up and I had mentioned how I swear by the statement that everyone comes into your life for a reason. My roommate immediately declined to accept that statement, which is understandable from her stand point; however, I can justify anything. In 2012, I met a few really FANTASTIC individuals, and although their presence in my life was a curse yet a blessing at the same time, in the end, I can only wish good things to these people because of what they contributed to who I am right now. My roommate could not see how people serve a purpose to your life because she was the one who came into her ex's life for a reason. I expressed this to her but still assured her that she will find the lesson and greatness that came out of meeting this individual. I believe that finding the good in the bad is very dependent upon your mind set. You need to be in touch with your emotions and think deeply. It is very easy to overlook a lesson when you are in the wrong frame of mind, let the hate and anger go, focus more on WHY you have that hate and anger. This can help you find the purpose for why you are responding to the situation the way that you are. It's almost like putting together a puzzle, nothing makes sense at first and the pieces are just scattered all over, but once you get one piece in place, the rest eventually comes together. That is where I am at today... I have so many things I want to accomplish in my life and I am almost the person, mentally, physically and emotionally, that I need to be in order to get them done.
To officially start off, I will start by stating my intentions for this blog....
----- I have so many goals that I have set forth to accomplish. I know the obstacles along the way to getting there will be anything but easy; however, I understand and 'GET' the importance of having balance between your MIND and your BODY.
Be ready for a blog following my progress toward reaching my goals. My posts and vlogs will consist of optimism, motivation, deep thinking/thought processing/analyzing of things such as: nutrition, injuries, exercise/fitness and training progression for my future events(races), as well as various thoughts/topics that come up in my life throughout this time that I feel important to share.
Soon to follow--- 2013 Race Schedule....which includes a special announcement!! :)
Have a great weekend, all!
