2008 is probably the first year in many in which I actually started the year feeling full of energy. My normal January state of mind tends towards the sluggish and listless. But not now.
Partly this is to do with officially entering the second pregnancy trimester, which means that nausea and extreme fatigue recede and I now feel more 'me' and less like a host for some inconsiderate parasite that is sucking the life and energy out of me. Not the most idealised version of early pregnancy but true for me. The most difficult thing I found was the total lack of energy and need for sleep, when I would much rather be working. The ways that I got through this, apart from phoning my friends with children and begging them to reassure me how great kids are, is by (1) being kind to myself and not indulging my guilty feelings of resentment at being taken over by another 'potential' life (2) having to accept the way I was feeling and stop fighting it and (3) visualising a future when I will be able to get back to work and feel alive and enthusiastic again.
To start 2008 I have designed and am putting the finishing touches to my new coaching programme, the sex, self and spirit package. This will be a more structured coaching package. So, each week I have set a theme and we will talk this through. There will be actions/challenges each week and exercises that I have created to help you grow into your sexual potential.
I have taken on 2 wonderful new clients this week and am very excited to begin working with them. Both of them are positive and committed people who can see that life can be better and that they can become who they want to be. Talking to people who have exciting, creative and inspirational ideas about their future makes me realise why I love my job so much. It is rewarding and exhilarating for me to support people on their sexual adventures and to help people change the way they feel about themselves and the world around them.
