I'm being "observed" at something I'm leading next week. This has been making me nervous and today I want to crack on with deciding what topic to cover. I know some people thrive on upcoming deadlines, I've never been one of those people. My homework was always done well before the due date :D So I know I'll feel better once I'm a bit more sure what the evening will be about. But I think what I need to remind myself more than anything else is that I'm ALWSAYS being observed. Just cos someone is coming specially, with pen and notepaper, doesn't mean I'm being judged any more than any of these other sessions I lead. And I'm of the view that it's the little unplanned things we do in our life that tend to ultimately have more significance than the events we sweat over.
I also need to keep remembering how much I like the people coming (even tho ones I don't yet know). I am SO lucky that my line of work is with people for whom UPR is part of how we need to be. In fact maybe I'll do it on UPR as that will set the evening up so people think well of me - hahahahahahahaha.
Hope you get to think well of yourself today, irrespective of how you think others are seeing you. And that your UPR for others overflows in torrents :D
plumped for a feeding back on the session I was inspired by at the conference, on relationships. Feel better for having a topic, but need to think how to make it interactive. And replace the packet of biscuits that I'd bought for the event :)
ReplyDeleteSinging at a gig tonight - hope that will revive my flagging energy, it's been ages since I've had a good sing with others. Tho today's line I've been singing over and over by myself is "you make me sing to the houseplants"
hope your heart has been singing too :D
