To be honest I've been trying to do this for years and being the flawed human that I am, I kept getting distracted and focused on other projects and just letting "life" get in the way of not taking consistent action. How you anything is how you do everything! So How do I do anything? Well I'm all gun blazes for the first probably week or so, and then I let doubts get in the way or I get distracted by going out with my friends, or i tell someone what I'm doing and I get a look from them "Of yeah Emer right, another thing you'll start to do but you probably just won't finish it!" (They don't actually say that but that's what I'm thinking they are thinking in my head!) Ha..... So i confirm their belief by actually doing exactly what they believe I will do. But it's really them mirroring back to me my belief about myself. So, I'm not blaming anyone for not believing in me, I"m just going to take complete an utter responsibility for my own belief and ability and once and for all prove to myself first and foremost and then prove to everyone else that I will put my business online. That I will and DO believe in myself. Well it's a work in progress... Right? I mean I always actually get to where I want to go in the end. I've looked back on my life, and I've operated the exact same way in everything I have put my mind to do. (the whole, how I do anything is how I do everything?). I want to share my how I do anything/everything scenario! Let's start with the swimming? I loved swimming, I wanted to be a champion swimmer from the age of 8/9 years of age. I was a slow burner, I always came 2nd or 3rd in my club. I was a slow developer, i was slow to get my mindset to commit to training every single day. I was slow in believing I could actually get on the Westmeath team, then the Connacht team, then the Irish schools team, then the Youth Olympic team . I never did it immediately. I was always a year or three behind my co swimmers, I used to get obstacles in my path. I would get set backs, knock backs, bad starts, bad finishes, bad tumble turns, crap training sessions. I would get sick just before a major gala,I would get bad comments from other swimmers, other coaches. But I just kept doing it and showing up for training and entering the competitions. I was an extremely sensitive child (and I had bad skin) despite the amazing encouragement from my dad and my own coach, I still battled with my own voice in my head saying I'm not strong enough, I"m not tall enough, I'm not this or that enough? I'm not sure if it was the just bull headed stubbornness in me to keep going or just because I actually loved swimming, I loved feeling strong, I loved improving my times, I loved gliding through the water and I loved the technique of swimming. I loved watching the greats in action and watching how they flew through the water and made it look so much easier than anyone else. I wanted to swim like them. I studied their technique. So I kept at it and eventually, I achieved my goal of winning the National Age groups (2 Gold and 2 silver) getting on the Irish youth olympic team and really getting the final in the seniors nationals as a junior but swimming with the big girls. I was getting there.... Then things came crashing down when I hurt my back and I was told, I was burnt out, back pain and needed to rest and restore as a 17 year old. Ok that was the start of my journey into health and wellness. I hurt my back, I went to lots of physio, I had IBS (and didn't know it!). I had terrible menstrual issues and hormonal issues (stress related). I was starting to get panic attacks in the pool and as I was a very stressed teenager and shouldn't have been. So it started my journey of healing and linking, the mind to the body. I took a huge interest in mind over matter and how it linked to health issues. So Ive been studying how the body works for years and I was always fascinated with the body and how people walk and how it causes ease or disease. I will be talking about lots of matter around health and wellness. Stay tuned into my blog as I share more.....
