Embracing Christmas

Happy Christmas. Hope you’re all having a great time
Years ago, when I became self employed, I used to hate Christmas 
My last job, 21 years ago as a gym instructor, I got finished off, about 7 days before Christmas 
When I became self employed, Christmas would to be a tough time. Clients used to cancel right throughout December, and I’d be skint  
While getting older, I also kind of lost the feeling if what Christmas was about. For a while, i used to threaten about doing voluntary work over the period and helping out other people, just to get a feel for it
Kind of coincidental, a few years later, I would do some work with kids in care, over Christmas, which is something I’ve done for about the past 8 years, up until this year  
This was a from doing some therapy work, with abused girls, in a secure unit, almost 10 years ago
I was kind of glad to do this, as it kept me busy and I felt I was doing something, to help someone in a vulnerable position. Christmas is quite an emotional time for kids in care
Christmas can also trigger a lot of emotions in people. People look back and think about lost loved ones. They will also think about their own lives, and highlight things that need to change 
Entering my 30’s, I never used to look forward to it, but now entering my 40’s, I’ve learnt to try and embrace it. I am totally a workaholic. I’m always chasing things, and desperate to make my time count and get to where I want to be. 
This isn’t a good way to live by the way, and goes against a lot of what I’ve learnt 
Over Christmas, nothing will really happen, so I’m forced to have a rest, which is good. It’s only recently that I’ve accepted I need to rest and embrace the holiday. I try and allow myself the relaxation of it and let my mind and body recharge. As I’m writing this, its the longest break I’ve had in 3 and a half years
This year has certainly been an amazing year for myself, personally. I’m now so close now to what I want to achieve
Achieving my own goals, will certainly help the people around me achieve theirs, and I’m already excited for 2017 
Whatever you are doing today, or over the next few days, I hope you have a relaxing and peaceful time
Class Wednesday and 2017 

The last Boxercise session of the year will be on Wednesday 6.15pm at St Mary’s Church Hall. The classes will then resume on Tuesday 3rd January. The new Weight training course will start on Thursday 5th January ( only 1 place available )  
Programs/ Prices will change in 2017

As from January, NLP and coaching will now be included in each training program. This is in hope, that more people will get even better results from the sessions. The prices will also increase slightly for new people who join the program or who have been away for a period
