Some major shift....

A little bit over a month ago I started my "dream transitional" job, project coordinator for cardiology research!  What I mean by that is that it is my dream job for where I am right now in my life. It is such a  HUGE and AMAZING opportunity for me to learn and gain experience. It is on the path of what I want to do, which is to go back to school, get a PhD and become a scientist and professor. (By the way that was really scary for me to write here - one of those : did I just say that out loud? kind of things). Anyway, I cannot just let go of track and I really am committed to my online fitness business. Why? Well it is a nice way to balance my life, it is a great way for me to grow as a person and empower me as a woman, I know I am helping people in my life get healthier and achieve goals, I am doing something that can help me live the life I want and be financially independent and doing well (scientists, except for maybe industry scientists, and professors don't make as much money as you think and Boston is expensive!).

Any who - I used to believe and still sometimes have this nasty little fear that one cannot do it all, but then the future scientist in me says, where is the proof? There are women out there (including one in particular who totally inspires me, a Mom, Blogger, and MD) that ARE doing it all! Nothing is perfect and things shift and change, just like the purpose of this blog for me, but that is almost the point. Balance is not a destination but a constant way of being. So I am ditching the limiting belief of not being to have it all and "doing too much" because that just sounds like excuses for really living and being afraid to fail. Yes, do I think that at some point something will have to give a little bit? Yes, of course things have to change sometimes to move forward but finding a way to balance and do what makes me happy will always be goal.

Here is do ditching limiting beliefs, to being bold and brave, and to balancing it all in happiness and success! Cheers!
