Problem Solver

As much as I am a dreamer, I am also a realist, and I like to face live full on, straightforward, deal with things, and keep moving forward.  In my Yoga and Pilates, I am obsessed with form, alignment, core.  What I love most about it is even though how to hold your body correctly is universal, a right angle is a right angle for every person.  Each individual will look different and feel different depending on their body proportion, flexibility, and level.

I was fascinated by this article, you can also listen to the actual radio program at this link, about a culture where, Back Pain Hardly Exists!

My good friend calls me a "Normie," I am grateful not to know depression or anxiety, and really don't understand it at all.  In our lives whether we understand something or not, it will be in front of us, and I am trying my best to take a look at myself when I hesitate, or feel myself unsure, or even uncomfortable or nervous, especially when I get blood drawn, or approach a new business or idea. Children are our best teachers, but it is not easy, especially if they are completely different from ourselves.  My problem solving skills are in full effect, I always say that I am a good detective, whenever something is lost, I can retrace steps and events, and 99.9% of the time find what I am looking for.

Of course we all get anxiety, but I just go full force ahead, and I do not understand the mindset of it holding you back from life, and how to deal with that and support my children in taking bold steps, even if inside something is scary.

I had a roommate that would get upset when I would problem solve instead of listen.  My brain automatically goes into let's figure this out mode.  I am working on really listening, staying patient, and maybe in the conversation, children will figure it out for themselves as they talk it out.

No I didn't cut my hair :)

Taking a deep breath now,
Joys of parenthood,
Thank God for these kind of problems,
