40’s Better

I just posted to my facebook page "25 random things".  I started off with saying that "I’m ridiculous.  I feel like the energizer bunny without the energy. I’m propelled to keep going out of a fear of failure."  Whew, were did that moment of brutal honesty come from?

At 40 I’m much better and much worse at dealing with this than I was at 20.  In my 20’s I’d give up, guzzle a bottle of scotch and quit my job.  In my 40’s I take on more fitness clients/classes to work on top of my 40 hour/week job. 

I sometimes lose sight of why I do what I do.  I train because I get filled up by giving to others.  I teach because I grow from the experience.  I create physical challenges for myself to deny the fact that I’m aging. I’ve seen this quite often on bodyspace lately, it is about balance.  That is my biggest hurdle; sometimes it just feels like time is ticking.
