So I started January like everyone else with excitement, anticipation and Hope. This was perfect since 2023 is the year of the Water-Rabbit which symbolizes Hope. Interestingly enough, the closest definition I could find for my name means Hope. I also started my Life Coaching business on 12/23/22 and my birthday this year will be on 03/23/23. I'm a numbers geek so this is a big deal for me. If you read my Welcome blog you'll know how old I'll be turning. So yes, I think this will be my year.
I named my Life Coaching business "Finding Your Balance Coaching" because of how much I believe in being balanced. When raising my kids I made sure they were as balanced as possible or well-rounded as I used to call it back then. Between the two of them, they learned Hooked on Phonics, French, gymnastics, art, piano, music expression, swimming, soccer, ballet, track, basketball, golf, baseball and anything else I've forgotten. They've been in countless camps from fashion to soccer. They've also traveled from way up North to the deep South of the US, Canada, Mexico, Tokyo, France, Berlin, and Amsterdam. I made sure they knew and respected God. I raised them Catholic so they were Baptised and participated in the Sacraments of Penance, First Communion, and Confirmation. They've eaten from McDonald's to the finest restaurants. They've volunteered, donated their time and possessions and worked low to average-paying jobs. They've spent and saved a lot of money.
So yes, I believe 100% in having a balanced life. I don't know what they will be when they are fully grown up but I know they have been exposed to as much as me and their dad have been able to provide for them. Now it's up to them to decide which path they want to take with their lives. My daughter will be graduating college in the Spring and my son will start his senior year of college in the Fall. I'm a very proud momma for helping to raise these amazing human beings.
So what have I Iearned for myself? I took another Life Balance Wheel assessment to see where I could improve in 2023. It was not surprising that I need the most help from the Family/Friends and Fun/Recreation slices of the wheel. I am indeed an introvert. I've always just focused on my kids and their needs. So much so that I believe it to be partly the reason for the end of my marriage to their father. But to truly have balance in my life I need to make myself and my needs just as important. Luckily for me, five years ago I got remarried to my soulmate. Yet, I still do not have enough fun or spend enough time with my friends. So I'm going to make a conscious decision to change that this year. So look out friends, I'm finally coming out to play in 2023!!
