jour·nal
I do this daily in my blog, and have done it randomly throughout my life. As a kid I did have some diaries, which are fun to look at my thoughts at that time. Then after graduating college, I was reading a book called "The Artist's Way," which asked for three pages of brain flow daily upon waking up, just to clear the mind. That was during my cruise ship adventures, I was working on board for three years traveling the world, interesting to read about my head space then for sure!
I started this blog right after my third child was born, so it has been almost three years. It originally was a place to be accountable for my health, fitness, and nutrition journey, but it became much more. I enjoyed just getting stuff off my chest, also just holding on to a random thought and exploring it more in the blog. Sometimes it was reminiscing about the past, and other times it was about world events and knowing that my friends list is diverse, I felt my voice would be heard by all walks of life, especially standing up for Israel and Jewish people all over the world.
I keep on reading that journaling is healthy, it really is a release for our mind, and is good for mental health. I appreciate all of my readers, and also love that they could see inside of me. I like to be seen and heard, and excited to share my passions, thoughts, and daily family life with all of you.

When you read the quote above, where do you place yourself? I am in the middle of optimist and realist. Today I ran across an amazing possibility of expanding my business and collaborating with like minded people. Whenever something new begins I am 100% open and ready to absorb, restructure, and grow. The realist comes in when it doesn't flow naturally, or things get in the way, I start to look at what really serves me and should I stick with it or let it go. Even with birth, the optimist in me wanted to stay at home as long as possible for my labor because I knew that nothing would go wrong, but the realist in me wanted to birth in the hospital so just in case I needed something extra, it was available, and I could still be in my calm, focused space instead of rushing and stressed last minute.
Thank God three babies later with no epidural, and an amazing Doula, two of them I was 8cm water broken, and my third one I did not have a Doula because he came five weeks early on Shabbat. I stayed calm, focused timed my contractions, called my friend to stay with my kids, decided to go when it felt right, and I was 7cm! So proud of myself, and was inspired to become a Doula because with my third I was present and conscious. With my other two I was present, yet in a zone, trusting my Doula 100% to have all the control, so I could let go of control.
Excited for what is ahead,
Blogging has become a part of my daily routine,
Thank You For Enjoying It,
Coach Yulia
