It’s been a while since I last posted. Things have been really busy with school. I’m actually almost finished. End of the month and technically speaking I will have completed all courses in the program. I can’t believe it’s coming so soon. It’s been a year and a half since I started my training in holistic nutrition and it’s been a tough year for sure but I can tell there is a light at the end of the tunnel. 
Since my last post I finished a few more courses but they were by far my most difficult but very useful/practical courses. To be honest, I am really praying that I pass the two courses I was really struggling with because I don’t want to take them again! It wasn’t so much the workload it was the type of new learning we had to do. I learned some interesting things about myself along the way too. I suspected some things a long time ago but in my more recent courses it really just confirmed them. It wasn’t really until I saw all those red lines on the graph that I realized how messed up I really was because at that point, I thought I had actually improved quite a bit. It just told me I still had a long way to go.
Up until then, almost all of the courses I had taken were foundation in nature. You need to know the foundation before you can heal a client. These last few recent courses taught you specifically what protocols to use and exactly how to interact with clients. One of the case studies we had to wor
k on was to do a complete analysis and protocol on yourself. What better way to learn then use yourself as a guinea pig? It’s interesting to see that almost all students that come into this school will have something wrong with them. It’s what drove them to learn more about healing themselves without using the conventional route. Needless to say, it did not surprise me one bit to find out that one of the key things that have affected my health was a high level of stress. I have always and I’m sure everyone knows this too, that high stress is bad for you. But it wasn’t until I went to this school that I learned exactly HOW it’s bad and the repercussions on your body when there’s chronic stress versus short term stress. Everything in the body must always stay in balance or else problems can arise.
I’m still taking steps to heal myself. I know it will take a long time to heal because it’s taken so long to get to this point. Put it this way, if you’ve abused your body for say 20 years, do you really think your going to fix it up in a day? Yeah. Not likely. The frustrating thing is that I it’s hard to buy supplements to heal yourself when you are unemployed and have no money. Literally. Sigh.
Anyways, things are looking up I think. I’ve started going to interviews, done a few hours at a co op placement but I’m still looking for work. Unfortunately, co op placements do not pay. It’s important that I get something soon because I’ve already commissioned a project with someone to work on my new logo. I’m very excited about it but I have a good feeling this is the one I will use. It’s costing me but at least I can do payments. When I save up a bit more money I will be commissioning this company again to help me on the design of my website. I can’t wait! So, things are looking up. I just need to hang on, pray I pass all of my courses, pray again for a job (any job!) that will help me make a bit of money before I really go full time in my nutrition practice. I’m nervous because this is a whole new world to me. But excited at the same time. Here’s hoping that I will find that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
