Why I LOVE my job.


 HOW many of us can say that we really love going to work?

WELL I am one of the lucky ones, I love what I do for a living, I chose to do it after all, so I should do.

TODAY'S blog is all about the things I consider to be most beneficial, and I am listing ten of those things.

ONE.

I am my own BOSS! I answer to only myself, and although I can be a bit of a taskmaster at times, I only have myself to blame for it!

TWO.

I get to work around my other responsibilities. I get to walk my own dogs twice a day, instead of a dog walker doing it for me like some people have to. It's the joy of having a dog, the walking bit, and I get this pleasure all to myself. I also manage to prepare and cook food for myself and my husband, do the housework and all the other things so that we can live a less hectic life.

THREE.

I don't have to go anywhere for work most of the time as 75% of my work is virtual and can be done at home. NO sitting in Devon's holiday traffic for hours on end.

FOUR.

IN the other 25% of the time I'm not at home working I get to travel to new places to people's homes for the therapy side of my business. It's a proper little adventure out.

FIVE.

I get to meet new people all the time when they come for therapy with me. And actually over the years these new people become friends, which is great.

SIX.

I get to choose how my week is planned out. I like a mix of fitness and therapy, it gives a little bit of variety to a day, and so this is usually how I work it. Start the day with some fitness, bit of massage, more fitness and a class, then more massage or hypnotherapy. Variety keeps it exciting for me.

SEVEN.

When I am doing massage or hypnotherapy, I get to chill out myself, treating people to a massage, with all the wonderful oils really relaxes me, even when I am working, and when I am doing hypnotherapy, I get into the same kind of head space as my client, so I am very very relaxed. It saves me a bit of my own mindfulness in my own time as I get it at work. Brilliant eh?

EIGHT.

THE other end of the scale is that I get to do a workout some times at work, with classes and sometimes I do sessions with PT clients. I love exercise and any excuse to join in means that I get benefit too. It's win win!

NINE.

I am constantly learning about people in my job, how people behave, habits, how to help heal mind and body, because everyone is so different, every single day is a school day for me, and I love learning.

TEN.

THE most important thing of all. I get to help people gain mental and physical health! That's why I do it, and when I get feedback from a massage client who says they feel amazing, when a PT client loses 2 inches from their waist, when someone who had a phobia no longer has it, all those things make my life better, knowing that I have helped those people. THAT is why I LOVE what I do!

What makes your working day better? Do you do what you love? Let me know!

How ditching the booze can create a 'Happily Ever After!'

  On Saturday 20th July 2024 me and my husband will be celebrating one whole year of marriage. It's a wondrous thing, especially as I didn't even believe that true LOVE existed four years ago. How on earth did that happen? I can tell you, well part of the story at least, the other part was that I hadn't yet met my soulmate, but the journey began before I met Ryan, it was how I got to know myself. For most of my life I have struggled with self-belief. I wasn't confident growing up, although seemingly, on the surface I appear to have all the confidence of a big CAT on the prowl, in reality, it was all just a big ACT. I have battled with an eating disorder, then once I had tamed that beast (sort of) alcohol became my friend (or so I thought). I didn't have to face up to the reality of who I was and where I was going when I was in the pub with my 'so called friends.' It was escapism. It couldn't last forever if you want to live a long, happy and healthy life...

Get rid of unwanted stress.

 How well do you manage stress? Are you one of those chilled out people who breeze through life not worrying about things? Or are you constantly on edge wondering how to resolve the next stressful situation? Stress is a natural part of life, but the more advanced we have become, the more we have to worry about. When previously all we had to worry about was hunting our next meal and making sure we had enough heat and water for the family, that would have been stress enough, but now we have endless lists of things to worry about. Have I done the right thing at work? Have I paid the rent? Is the car working properly? Has the dog has its vaccinations? Is Auntie Beryl okay as I haven't heard from her? Have the kids got the right technology so they don't get beaten up at school? Am I wearing the latest fashion so that I will fit in? Have I got enough money for food for the next week?  The list is seemingly endless and these little stresses all build up over time, eventually leading ...

Nostalgia!

  TODAY would have been my wonderful Dad's Birthday, he would have been 78 years old, sadly he passed away at only 54 years old, from a brain tumour. He was ridiculously fit, ate well, did all the good things, but sadly that didn't stop him from getting poorly.  NOW, that doesn't mean, 'well I may as well do all the bad things if that can happen!' It doesn't work like that. You STILL need to do ALL the good things, good nutrition, exercise, proper sleep, laughter, all the things. Then you can guarantee a quality life, no matter how long it is. THIS week on my MINDFULNESS MONDAY post on social media, I spoke about nostalgia. It was my husband's birthday on Monday, and I was also thinking of my Dad's birthday too. Then it got me thinking about birthdays in the past, how they were celebrated, and all the fun we had. I like to visit the past from time to time, I don't like to live there, to dwell there, but I like to remind myself of the good things, and...
