Start Again.. The 2018 Path for Mai Trainer

I thought I would be more nervous.
​
I had arrived 15 minutes early to meet with Coach on Tuesday last week. We had a 30 minute session to start my Olympic Lifting Training again after over a year off.  

I decided I should snap a picture to mark the occasion.

​After I snapped it (and posted it), I waited a minute…. expecting to need to clear my head before I went in.

But oddly, I felt no worry… it just felt like time to go.

Coach was all smiles when I walked in, and we had the place to ourselves.
I let him know where I was with strength training… and then we got into the warm up.

It honestly felt like I hadn’t left. The biggest difference I noticed was the empty space I had in my mind.

There was a calm (in between the sets) that wasn’t there before.

The awesome thing about 2017, was that I learned to stop...and care for myself first.

​It was a chance to start over, and build all the elements of a mentally and physically healthy routine...in a way that felt good to me.

I told coach my main goal now, is to make Olympic Lifting something I practice (regularly) for as long as possible. I told him I enjoy it, and I think it’s fun...that I’d like to continue into my 40’s and 50’s and beyond. 

​It puts a smile on my face to think about being able to do it ten years from now.

So, that’s the goal for me.

I want to be settled into a rhythm that puts a smile on my face when I think about it.

​I’ve changed my Job Title on LinkedIn. I have also finally chosen an elevator pitch.

I am a Mental & Physical Strength Coach.  I help "stressed out" people find (and follow) a balanced diet and exercise program...that they enjoy.

Moving forward in 2018, I will be pursuing speaking opportunities for Stress Management Workshops in the Kansas City Area.

​In all of my ongoing work, I will be encouraging you to balance your work and rest.  
I will be encouraging you to not just lift weights, but to meditate and stretch daily in a way that feels good to you.  

Other than that, you will not notice too much difference.

I will still keep inviting you to get my book on Amazon or Kindle.

​
​I will still keep inviting you to get Mai Trainer’s Free 365 Day Free Nutrition and Strength Training -   weekly email series.

I will still keep you up to date on my new programs and training opportunities.

If you have a group looking for a health and wellness speaker, I have my Free Stress Management Workshop information here.  

I’d love to speak to you about visiting your group!

Let 2018 be the year you stop...and care for yourself first.

​It is a chance to start over, and build all the elements of a mentally and physically healthy routines...in a way that feels good to you!

Let me know what you think! :)
