If you are anything like me, you have a lot going on this time of year and you may be thinking you should wait until after the New Year to embark on anything new. When I was a member of the admissions team here at Integrative Nutrition, I spoke to many people with the same mentality. There were generally 3 reasons people felt like they had to put their futures on hold this time of year - do any of these resonate with you?
The Health Coach Training Program will take you a year to complete so whether you enroll now, or after the New Year, the course is going to fall over a holiday season, a summer break, or a busy time of year at work. Will you really be any less busy at these other times? Probably not. The sooner you begin, the quicker you will be able to start working with clients and doing the work you were born to do. We all make time for the really important things in our lives; is getting healthy, having a career you love, and living out your dreams important to you or do you want to keep it on the back burner for later?
Another benefit of being enrolled over the holidays is all of the networking opportunities that the holidays bring. All of those events and parties you'll be attending will be filled with people who are going to want to get healthy come January 1st. Will it be you they turn to in order to help them get there?
So what’s holding you back? Be honest with yourself - are you using any of the reasons above as an excuse? Could you make this work if you weren’t afraid of taking on something new?
