So after the build up and post-climax of one my 40 must-have-goals namely my first Muay Thai fight (see previous post curve-balls etc.) I’ve had a few people contact me and say what next?
I mean I was still feeling high after my accomplishment, and people were already trying to get me to stop that post-climax feeling to obtain something new already!! Its almost like when you climax after oral sex and then your partner wants to dive back in, if you get my drift, just leave it the heck alone!!!! I mean here I was still in disbelief that something that seemed such a hurdle and had given me anxiety and sleepless nights was finally over. However there was also a niggling sensation, you know the start of an empty void oh-no-is that-it, its over feeling. But luckily fatigue and motherhood reminded me that before I jumped back on the major goal and hurdle train, I should actually just chill the heck out for a bit.
If I’m not running around after my kids, trying to develop my business as well as my own personal and fitness plan, meeting friends, attending events, trying to keep order in my home. Like so many other women and (yes some men), I realized that we actually set goals all the time, they may just vary in size, some are just larger than others but they’re still goals. Why can’t we learn to just ‘be’ and move away from the culture of always ‘doing’. That’s why I love the Orange Moon phrase ‘busy human doings’, we have stopped being human beings and become human-doings. All our fast paced technological I-cant-wait-even-2-seconds has got us always feeling dis-satisfied and dis-eased, that we constantly feel like we are not doing enough or anything of value at best. At worst ,this feeling may grow and develop into low self worth, value and confidence.
Even the role of being a mother seems to still be undervalued not only by
others but more importantly our self. But if we don’t value, our role(s) why will anyway else?! We will just be swept away in the sea of people and society’s must-do, must-have and must-be expectations and norms.
Don’t get me wrong goals help you achieve major things and give your life direction and fulfillment. But lets at least try to appreciate and acknowledge all of our accomplishments not matter how small or large. Regardless of anyone else opinion its more the mastering of our-self, pushing our own limits which is the priority.
So yeah I’mma just chill and enjoy the space. I think I may even look back at some of my previous goals and accomplishments just to feel good, to realize how far I’ve come (and also prolong my climax a little longer :). Just this week I finally fitted into a dress and jacket that a year ago I thought I would NEVER EVER be able to wear.
Pats back, smiles and says Yayyy me!
However if you must know what next.
I have enlisted guinea pigs, I mean participants for research on my new 3 S’s Superfabulous, Slim and Sexy foodplan, which also involves me taking part! Yes that’s how I was able to fit into my dress so I’m super excited. You can read more and take part on my website http://www.orangemoonhs.co.uk
More importantly, I will be setting small goals to continue to develop my business, to enjoy some family and downtime and to get prepared for the awesome husband that is awaiting. As well as update my blog with other revelations and random posts.
