While I was jogging…

May 30, 2012 By: Mehroocomment

It is amazing the number of thoughts that just come and fill my mind while i am on my daily (well…almost daily) jog. I first started regular jogging in England and i thank my then personal trainer,Nina to get me started.  Initially of course you cannot think of anything but the aches and groans, but slowly as your mind gets used to the rhythm of your body, it starts getting occupied with other thoughts…..thoughts of a mundane nature….just things on your to-do list for the day, reminders to make phone calls, or just how you wish to ideally plan your day. Sometimes I wish I had a software that could de-code my thoughts and put them on paper for me, because the minute I would land home after my jog all the to-do lists seem to disappear from my mind and its a complete blank till I go for my jog the next day!

All said and done jogging does help clear up my mind and makes me a much calmer and satisfied person. It is hard to describe it but for e.g. On a weekend if I am upset about something and can’t seem to find a solution or just irritated with the heaps of ironing to be done while hubby is playing the PS3 –.a simple 20 minute jog in the fresh air makes me come back all relaxed and positive and with a new kind of energy. Sometimes it also leads me on to the road of self-discovery, something which is very hard to do during my normal hectic day.

One of my most recent thoughts has been quite a revelation for myself. I was born and brought up in a big city,lived there for 29 years,moved to Hong Kong and lived there for almost 3 years. I always considered myself to be a city-girl. After that the move to London and it took a lot of getting used to the cold weather, the silent streets, the very ‘proper’ British people and the absence of any domestic helpers. However as I got used to their way of life I realised that I actually liked it, I made some very good friends and I loved it! I loved living in a house -not a flat, loved mowing my lawn, doing my housework and looking after my kids all by myself. And during one of my very recent jogging sessions I realised that i would actually love to live in the countryside! A nice comfortable, spacious house, with a vegetable patch at the back, some friendly farm animals like a horse, a goat, a few dogs, a hard working husband and two naughty boys making my house a home!! Of course the social side of me would exist too, so I would love calling people over to ours for drinks, dinner or just to relax by our pool and be invited by them too! I would also like to hang out with my girl friends and meet them for coffees or just hang out together at night. Anyway the truth is —this is who I am and this is what I want from life….and it took a jogging session for me to realise that!!

    Yes time for oneself, very important. Reminds me of the saying – only the one who 'dreams' (or thinks!) achieves!!

    Thanks for your comment Magiceye, glad you stopped by and left your thought. Several times when I run out of ideas to write, I do a little jog to clear my kind and ideas come booming in.

Coaching? What? Why? When? I am often asked these Coaching? What? Why? When? 
I am often asked these questions by well-meaning family and friends as they learn about this new phase in my life. It prompted me to rewind time and write about this journey.

👉Coaching: Let’s start at the very beginning.... 

🖋Capturing the moments and memories of this beautiful new phase in my life.

End-January 2020: With corona virus spreading across Hong Kong and number of cases rising, schools were asked to shut down. We were in Mumbai over Chinese New Year and what had been a short 5-day trip to the city for a family wedding turned out to be a month-long extension as we postponed our flights intending to “stay safe” in Mumbai.

February 2020: While I was I happy that we were relatively safe and I could enjoy a longer holiday, the working bug in me started biting within a week. Business was slow through the previous months of protests in Hong Kong and had now come to a grinding halt. My mind started racing. What next, what can I do to keep my business going? In retrospect the actual question to ask was “What can I do to keep myself going?”

March 2020: After some trials and errors on new ideas for my current business, I realized that this was not the solution I was looking for. After starting my career in corporate sales and marketing, followed a fulfilling role as a stay-at-home mom to my boys and the last few years of being a “mom-preneur” running an exciting clothing and events business, I felt that I needed something different – something that I love and something that is sustainable over a period of time. I started researching on the internet, looking for an answer. My searches were quite random and pretty general. ‘Flexible job from home, rewarding job for women, inspiring jobs, etc.’ I am not sure how or when but along with the other answers that came up, what struck my attention and curiosity was the word ‘Coaching.’
