NTP Week 1

It's been an interesting week to be sure. I've always had a knack for putting too much on my plate. This week, I expected to transition from one-on-one training to a more self-guided program. Also, my home is in the disarray that can only be brought on only by multiple repair projects. And the Nutritional Therapy Practitioner course I registered for in February started. Even as i intentionally tried to clear my schedule as much as possible, I've come to understand that time is a thing easily lost if not carefully guarded. 

Number one priority for me is the NTP course. There, the week was spent getting acquainted with the web-based learning portal and introductions from both fellow students and instructors. There is much encouragement to be shared in the forums, and many people to get to know. 45 to be exact. For this introvert (at heart) that's a lot of connections to make. However, even now I am excited about the prospect of so many new friends.

Starting with the basics, the NTA sets out to build a solid foundation from the very beginning. I've become acquainted the web-based portal, and learned how to navigating their system. While the course could be done entirely on a computer, I'm a fan of putting pen to paper. As such, I've downloaded and printed slides and notes and outlines for the whole course, all lovingly organized in a three ring binder. #nerdalert 

I've been nervous for the past month about just getting started. Since the kickoff webinar on Tuesday, my nerves have calmed and I'm now eager for the course ahead. Sometimes the anticipation of the unknown can be worse than the thing itself. 

I plan to spend some time this weekend getting a leg up on the next couple of modules while my guys finish a portion of the home repair still lingering from Hurricane Harvey.

I pray you have a blessed weekend enjoying whatever endeavor you choose.
