Going back to go forward

This week has been a little different for me, I decided back in June that I would go back to college and follow a new career path. Although I am only 23 everyone in my course apart from one is younger than me and was starting to question myself, is this something I should be doing? I am now weirdly starting to feel my age and even though the doubts came I am now happy in my life and feel confident that I can get my degree in travel, travel with my partner and get my dream travel and tourism job!

A lot of work but I am ready to go. First thing was my induction which was on Monday morning, well in my head it was Thursday, got dressed, stressed out a little and then remembered it was Monday opps. I did write it on my calendar by the way but with everything that is going on I  graciously managed to to go about my week in my bubble and completely forgot to look at my calendar that week. My induction turned out not to be as scary, everyone was fab and I settled into my role of the nutter within about mmm 2 seconds. I got all my timetables and diaries and such, turns out I am learning Spanish this year. Good luck. My brain just doesn’t react well to languages I just cant seem to get them. With my choice of travel and tourism as a career I am praying that Spanish sticks not like my high school french which seems to be non existent.

I don’t think it has sunk in completely that, I have a job that I love, that I am going back to college and that right now I am somewhat happy. I am a little nervous about going back and how I will take to being educated after 4 years of educating myself, not with travel or tourism but with life and becoming an adult. Has anyone else taken a break from education? How did you feel about going back?

I don’t normally write such personal posts but after writing all this down I feel great, I have went from freaking out to being calm. Maybe going back means I can go forward.

Ditching The Gym

As part of my student posts this week,  I will be showing you some great You Tube channels that you can use to workout at home!

Gyms are so expensive these days, and it may be only be me but working out in front of an entire gym can be a little daunting.

Not to fear, there are some amazing workout classes that are available to watch in your own home!

XHit

This channel started in 2012, I didn’t discover it until 2015 😦 But the good thing there is 3 years worth of videos! I personally use this every day. They have several categories to choose from, upper body, legs, core workouts, Victoria Secret workouts and my favourite, celebrity workouts!

The videos only last an average of 15 minutes, I normally split my days up into core, legs and arms. They are really fun and the trainers are incredible

Bad Yogi by Erin Motz 

The You Tube channel started in 2013, I’m not sure if it was available before then. I was searching for something new one day and came across a 30 day yoga challenge. I do love a challenge and yoga was new. Lets just say I really got into this. I got myself a yoga mat and yoga tights. My partner found this all a little amusing, especially watching me trying to do it lol

This is what they call the yoga creed, basically what Bad Yogi is all about 🙂

The Bad Yogi Creed

– Bad Yogis don’t do yoga to be a part of the cool crowd.

– Bad Yogis don’t need to be able to do difficult poses perfectly or have their own Instagram hashtag.

– Bad Yogis understand that yoga is about feeling good, not just looking good.

– Bad Yogis are real people, not impossibly fit, flexible, and flashy representations of yogi stereotypes.

– Bad Yogis aren’t in it for the image or for the status, but because it’s theirs.

– Bad Yogis don’t let any predetermined doctrine define their practice, and they don’t adopt some rigid set of “rules” just for the sake of having some.

– Bad Yogis define their own practice.

– Bad Yogis aren’t conceited and self-righteous about “their” style.

– Bad Yogis are inclusive and everyone is welcome, whether they are fat or thin or new or seasoned. It doesn’t matter if they see yoga the same way you do, but they’re welcome any way.

I will say one thing after my 5th day on the challenge I felt incredible. I felt so much better about my self and body. I started eating properly and drinking more water. It really really made a difference and is so relaxing and fun to do!

So why not get your laptop out, get a pair of leggings on and have a relaxed workout session in your own home!
