3 Things Getting Me Through #3 💕
(Putting yourself out there & being present to words of wisdom)
Last night I led the first in person We All Feel Group. I shared online, printed & posted fliers, and talked with more people about this offering than I have for anything I’ve ever done. I got out of my comfort zone to self-promote this group over and over again.
Three weeks ago, with one person signed up, I wrote in big bold letters across my notebook, Q: “Do you really want it?” A: “I want it and I am working for it!!!!”
I poured my heart into group 1 (of many) and am sharing today what helped me get here… The difference with todays “3 Things” is that these words of wisdom are actually sentiments that other people in my life shared with me. I leaned into listening to those around me when I felt self-doubt and my inner critic creeping in.
From Max: “The first one is the hardest.” This gave me relief - a reminder that it would be impossible to have this group magically happen. So many of us strive for perfection from the beginning. There is power in trying something once and learning from it. There is room for refinement along the way.
From Gabi: “I see how hard you’re working.” Give yourself credit, especially when you feel like you are not doing enough - you probably are.
From friends and family: “Good luck!” goes a long way and so does
“How did it go?” Reach out to someone in your life that you are proud of & let them know why.
