Last year I wrote about maybe becoming some kind of sensitivity therapist. Because I needed a change in work since teaching didn't make me feel "woohoo excited" anymore. But the course took place too far away from my home and I wasn't even sure if this was really it. And not much later I stopped thinking about it all together which means this wasn't my path to go.
A few days ago I visited an HSP forum. One of the members there wrote how she's not happy with her current job, but found some info on becoming a children's coach. (not sure if that's translated well into English, but in Dutch it's kindercoach.)
For an instant moment, something hit me. "Maybe this would be it"
I googled some info, and learned that it only takes 3x2 days on one location, or 17 Saturdays somewhere else. I can get some kind of scholarship so I don't have to really pay for it all by myself. And after 6 or 17 days I can call myself a children's coach. I can start my own practice if I want. It's always something I wanted to do, to have: my own practice. I'd be free to plan my own time, but also: I'd be able to work with children and actually even really help them.
It all sounds like I should just do it. But there's this fear and doubt as well. Can I do this? Is this really for me? Etc...etc....I've been talking to my mom about it today and she thinks this might be for me, but it's okay if I don't make a decision just yet. If I want to apply for a scholarship, I won't even be able to start with it till next year September, since you can only apply for a scholarship in June. Which also made me think about maybe getting my driver's license then this year. But again: just to think about it freaks me out. And it's a lot of money we're talking about. But if I have my license, it means it would be so much easier to just DO this.
I need a change, and in order for a change to take place, I need to make it happen. And this might really be it. It's just scary as hell.
