S2:E13 From Pain to Purpose - Check One and being intentional

This week I dove into several topics that while may at first sound like they have nothing to do with each other, they actually do. Remember how good we got in the military about adapting and overcoming? My new work commute has been just that. My figuring out how to adapt and overcome while also not getting frustrated and burned out. While my head was saying that I had the weekend to go hiking and camping out on the trail, my word for the year is intention and intentional I must be. So, I skipped the trail and went golfing instead. But before talking about golfing, I dove into my story on why education has been the foundation of keeping me and my family housed and moving forward despite my physical, financial, and family challenges over the years. It is my education that has been the one "thing" that has kept me from staying "in my head" and kept my idle mind out of trouble. Though in many aspects, my education has been my "boyfriend" that has kept me occupied and not wondering about in life, flailing like a fish out of water. As for my golf game today, first two holes today were great! The second two holes....well...not so much.... But, I remembered to get back out of my head and focus on using my tools. Focus on my breathing, focus on where I was aiming, focus on the game I was playing not the frustration of not hitting where I wasn't intending. Because after all, as veterans we know how to get in our heads great! It's the getting out of our heads that stumps us. Just remember, there is always another hole to play and I already have my game set for Monday so I can get my official handicap to play in the VA Golden Games this summer. I also mentioned a great summer class that is offering scholarships for veterans. www.commongroundonthehill.org. Please make sure email [email protected] to see if you qualify for a scholarship. Join me and Jose as we teach the Women Veterans class called Where's My Mic! We're gonna have a lot of fun and we hope you join us! #veterans #veteranfun #veteranmusic #veteranpodcast #veteranhealing #veteranmoralinjury #peoplegarden
