So I have finished with the Entrpeneur Certification training and completed all tasks required.

My latest post here https://1healthylifecat.com/nutrition-neat-2019/

Now I move into a section of the training that scares the hell out of me!

Social media engagement............ No, I have not shared my dream with my social media YET.

You see, I have always been a very independant person. From childhood and beyond! lol

I always teach my children and now grand children to be strong confident individuals. Don't give into peer pressure or bullying. I have been bullied most of my life because I don't look like everyone else.

You see, I was born with a cleft lip, so I was teased and called all sorts of unmentionable names my entire chilhood and into my adult life. (I have experienced grown adukts acting like school kids in a playground at WORK) This led to all sorts of different and not so fun situations throughout my life. Being shunned or teased because I looked different has made me a bitter person in some situations. When it comes to peers and opinions, I sometimes do not respond in an appropriate manner ( if at all) due to instincts and I believe this is one of those situations.

All of my contacts on my social media site (Facebook) are mostly people from the small town I grew up in, and they are all linked together in some way via the internet. These are the same people who used to tease me and bully me. They often called me stupid and uneducated as well as gossip about whatever story they could fabricate about me.(At one point I was apparently a dancer in the local hotel, NOT) Because I worked in the local bar and had to serve these people at thier finest, (Where they discovered I was also a female bouncer/waitress)They also know how straight forward and strong I am,( physically, not mentally tho).

So my issue is, now I am faced with the idea of history repeating itself so, I have been working away on my website and building my business without all these people and thier opinions.I know I don't interact much on this platform and this could be the reason why but I have not had a bad experience here and prefer to keep it that way.

I work daily on doing my research in order to provide valuable helpful health tips and information for the general public. I do enjoy being a social butterfly as well, with healthy minded individuals instead of (in some cases) low-life critics and snobs. I moderate and respond when I need to and I am loving the idea of the freedom (and privacy) this Business has the potential to provide for me and my family for years to come.

I realized this weekend just what was holding me back and slowing me down as far as my momentum that I was achieving. It is my own fear of peer pressure.

I am currently working on what truely is a real Business building venture. I have been researching for a very important section of my business and have been trying to put together all the required information, proper set-up and function, while trying to beat a deadline and dealing with my own fears & frustrations. This has created a big invisible wall that I could feel but couldn't see until I sat this weekend and practiced a little mind clarity for myself.

I know now, exactly what I need to do and I blieve I am slowly building the confidence to take the challenge head on. As long as I can complete my research and task's at hand on schedule, And eat enough Nutritious Food. I can deal with the situation with a positive mindset.

Fear can be crippling! And when it hits you right in the gut? It does just that. Stops normal brain function as well as energy levels which can break down your ammunity system and lead to suseptability to illness. I know this first hand, unfortunately life is like that.

I guess my own lesson here is stay healthy myself. Practice more self-care and eat a healthy diet as well as proper REST. This is the best start to conquering Fear itself. All this helps maintain Mental Clarity and a Focused mind. Get your Nutrition

Ha, guess I should Practice what I preach.................Don't give into Fear!

Never give up!

Have a Happy Day! :)

Note: If anyone has any suggestions on how I could approach this social media thing, please feel free to share. Thanks.
