Guess who is back!
Coach Janet your wellness partner. The last few weeks have been something else. I was preparing for the Diani BNI Convention. At the same time, my dad was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Scared and confused is an understatement.
I did not know if to cancel going for this convention and stay behind in support of my family. My heart was in turmoil.
It is at this moment I had an honest conversation with God, I told him that I needed to go for this business meeting and I needed my dad to be okay. And after dealing with the guilt, I went
The convention turned out well, meeting as many entrepreneurs as I could, despite what was happening at home. I did not let anyone know my anxiety and the fear I was fighting inside.
After leaving the convention, I headed to the hospital and seeing dad 5 days post-surgery. He didn’t look okay as a bad headache had wiped away the smile in the pictures and videos my family had prior sent while in Diani. I was worried, sad at the same time.
The hardest part was when my mum asked me to say a prayer, at that moment I just wanted to cry, but I still said a prayer. I went home a worried daughter and I didn’t allow mum to see it.
Fast forward, dad is home, doing well and has no evidence that a surgery was done!
All was okay, my body wasn’t. All the anxiety, fear and everything in between came back, I felt overwhelmed all over sudden, tired, my body was just tired. My body finally caved in on all the emotions I had held deeply inside, being strong for me and my family, I noticed acne on my chest something that shows up when I am stressed out, and it was a painful acne.
I was to go back to the gym, I needed to fix afew things about my business and I had to make the decision to skip gym for August and do home workouts at least twice a week which I have not started as I fixed my business systems
I changed my alarm to sleep in abit more, and in afew days, my eyes which speak to me when tired finally said, thank you for the intentional rest, and the acne on my chest disappeared. My chest was finally clear.
7 Months in 2026 and I cannot remember the last time I slowed down and smelt the coffee, those that know me have always said that “Janet, you got some high voltage energy”. And that is a true story, but the same keeps me going without ever taking a rest and a slow down because I always have the energy to complete my tasks and more.
The unfortunate thing, the society who enjoy your high voltage energy do not understand when it dips alittle and now you have to explain to them that nothing is wrong, you just tired and you are recharging.
I am so grateful for the friends that called me almost daily, visited dad in my absentia and kept reassuring me. I am humbled. The financial support was also immense, we were able to clear the medical bill too.
It is so good to be back, and our topic for this month will be the Belly fat Pandemic, You will be so glad to be here!
Hope you are glad to have me back, let me know down in the comments, would love to hear from you!
