Hi everyone!! Gosh, I have no idea on how to put myself on this platform. But one thing for sure is that, the person who shared this site with me gives me so much encouragement to continue what I love to do and share it wholeheartedly in the world.
Let me start by introducing myself to everyone, why I am here and what are the things that I would like to share with you guys!!
You can call me Cham! I am an extremist person when it comes to life balance, sharing my thoughts, learnings and reflection in life. I have been a single parent since 2014, and yes I have a beautiful and amazing daughter that I will talk about a lot for sure. I am 29 years old and I am currently a full time trainer in a certain known BPO industry. I was originally from Manila, like literally grew up in Quezon City, but work allows me to hype the adventure side of me, I was given an opportunity to get promoted which I am very passionate about, while hitting the lifelong wants to living alone and building my own life with full of exploration, adventure together with my daughter.
I am also a Mental Health Awareness advocate and later on you will see more of this a lot!! I am too compassionate type of person when it comes to life matter, that I learned life the hard way, and it pains me sometimes that people go through things without anybody letting them know how life would be, when we can be that person who will help them be lead through preparation in life mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. One of the many things that I do as an advocate of Mental Health awareness is to share a physical routine that enables oneself's focus on what is important, such are those that we have control of. I was also diagnosed in 2020 with Moderate Anxiety and continuously going through some episodes. Don’t get us wrong, I just know that people who have this kind of issues mentally know what needs to be done, it’s just mostly difficult for us to do it physically and emotionally. And these are certain things I can really relate on, because I know that I am a Christian and I know how God wants me to live a life full of abundance, and although He doesn’t want anyone of us suffering to any kind of this, we just have to live and learn to take control of our emotions gradually. It may not be as perfect as it could be but, with the right people, community, and support group, we will all get through it day by day.
Did you know that the Jump Rope community here in the Philippines is amazing! When I was diagnosed with anxiety, one of the most difficult parts was being the extrovert side of me. I couldn't even fathom what was happening, why I am unable to go out with people. I have been valuing life alone and understanding solitude instead of feeling lonely, they’re two different things. Since I knew their differences, it was so difficult for me to understand what was going through me. Since then I started learning Jump Ropes, and this type of workout is so fun. Everyday it made me feel like I am accomplishing something great, even a simple form or footwork and most of all, it made me consistent with my workout routines. Now I am teaching people for free to help them lose weight with Jump Rope, how to unlock tricks and footwork and together we are all learning. If you are living in Dumaguete City, you may want to hit me up and join us every Saturday sesh at 6am.
Arts! I love learning new things, not just within life and the adventure on the ground upon traveling, but I believe art brings the best in us. Music has always been my life! I love singing, and I grew up being part of a choir, singing to different places with my conductor who is not in this world anymore. Like I said, I love leaving room for improvements in daily life, and last year I discovered that out of singing I could make friends and earn at the same time. Well yes! Earning while doing what you love is amazing, especially for Single Moms like me. I became a solo broadcaster in one known application for almost 6 months, but now on and off due to the heavy task I have as a trainer at work. This is honestly mentally and emotionally draining hehe. I love my job though! On top of this, I have discovered that I can dance and so I guess my daughter got that from me, she loves dancing more than singing. Anything that allows me to feel accomplished relates to arts mostly, such as drawing when I had a chance and of course WRITING!!! I guess I have been writing since when I was in highschool, and so when “Kelly” mentioned that this is a safe place to share everything I can, I am so excited to start with it. Although this may be nerve racking at first and somehow give me anxiety to start with it, HERE I AM! Writing everything I’d love to share.
And lastly a life being a single parent. I can never take her out of the picture.
My daughter is the reason why I am here right now, writing everything that inspires me and motivates me. She truly is the best blessing, greatest breakthrough and strength I have in life. I owe a life full of learnings and achievements to her. She is the reason why I keep myself grounded, why I want to inspire the younger generation with different aspects in life and parents who inspire me to do great things for her. She is my refuge when I feel like I can’t do life anymore. She is the first and last person I think at night, caring how my actions and decisions in life would have results that affect her future needs and wants. Her name is Savannah, and she is adorable. She is the growing kid with a character that I was only able to build when I had her, so if you come to think of it, she’s an amazing child. A young lady who is turning 8 this month. She is very friendly, thoughtful, warm and sweet, smart, talented and independent. I wish to share her more in the next couple of days as I continuously write here.
Oh well, I wanted to share more stuff with everyone and thinking how I almost finished this introduction with you guys, makes me feel so excited and in a mindset of acceptance from each community that I’ll be able to relate with. I hope that I get to know more people here, sharing different perspectives in life, motherhood and fitness.
Much Love,
Cham
