My "ME" Retreat

It makes me excited just thinking about it. If it is one thing I have learned the past year and a half is that no one else really cares about how overwhelmed you are, especially if you don't care about it yourself. People will push you and push you and think because they are still moving so should you. I am the glue that keeps everything together with school, kids, transitioning into my own business and it is not an easy job. It seems that the days are not long enough and to be honest with you, it seems like day by day the days get shorter and shorter. It is true time waits for no one.

While doing some business planning I quickly had an epiphany. I am planning retreats for women and I thought why not plan a retreat for myself? The only one who will be in attendance will be me. If I can plan a retreat for women and assist in giving them a PEACE of mind and aid them into a life of harmony and taking care of them, then I should practice what I preach and start with a renewed mind and allow my body to go into"BREAK" mode so to speak. It is something that is much needed at this point.

I think it is so important to take quality time out for yourself. I am so used to giving and doing that sometimes I go neglected in the interim. How can I help others if my mind is not clear? I have to be able to think with a clear mind, there is no need to speak out of the mess that has been piling up on me for a while. My client's would not appreciate that. So for the past couple of months I have been scoping out places to go into relaxation mode. I have thought about flying to Sedona, Az it has been quoted as one of the most serene places to be. The school is having a conference in California, it would be a great time to network with other Health Coaches. I decided on neither of the two. I know I want to be around water and stay beach front. So after careful consideration I made a decision

.................I am going to the coast of NC...I am going to CAROLINA BEACH... No one else, this retreat is going to be so awesome. I don't have to answer my phone and I don't have to listen at others tell me what they need for me to do. It will be a weekend just for me. If I want to lie in bed all day I will, get in my car and go sight seeing I will, take a long reflective walk on the beach, I will. I am so excited to just get away to clear my mind. I will be at my own beck and call. It will be a time for much reflection on my life and all that has happened, all that is happening and all that will happen. I know this train is about to take a shift in it's route and there won't be any slowing down. I am soooo ready...

Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive....
