I was so proud of my toilet seat sorting yesterday I quipped that I should perhaps seek a new career as a plumber. Does this mean I only have myself to blame for discovering today that there is a quantity of water in the kitchen sink cupboard? My girly has had a non-stop bake-off these last couple of days so I can't get anywhere near the kitchen yet, but my task for the morning will be to empty that out, clean it, identify and tackle source of water, then re-order the cupboard. Actually, best make it the task for the whole weekend :)
Meanwhile I've moved onto "feel the fear and do it anyway" and am pleased to report that in the main, I do. I think it's really useful to conclude that we're not really different from other people - we can imagine that other people are not as worried as we are about things like rejection, mistake making, death, etc - and that if only we could get over our fear, we like them could do That Thing, whatever It might be, like reach out to others, or take a risk at work, or speak on a stage. And actually we don't have to get over anything, It will still be there, but we could decide that whatever happens, we will handle It, so best to get on and do it rather than live smaller in fear of It.
Should you ever want to borrow any of these books, just ask :)
