How I did it: So here goes. The update on this goal. Confidence is a weird beast. I would say that over the past six months my confidence levels have gone through the roof. I'm more comfortable, more able to speak a kind word when needed, think of others, see the lay of the land and move within it. And then one day, out of nowhere I'm sailing over a cravass - goodness knows how far down it goes. Forever maybe. I don't think this is ever going to stop t… Read how I did it…
How I did it: How did I do it? Not sure really. Just over a (long) period of time I stopped being so glum. Now when something goes wrong I still get a bit serious but I know that it's easier to get throuh a bad situation if you can laugh at it. If you can make a good joke - even better - that way other people relax too. Not having to deal with someone (eg me) when matters get tight makes the situation better. Read how I did it…
When I started this goal I thought it would be easy. It turns out that every goal I have set for the week is a real struggle. It would seem that if I have to choose kindness, I am faced with hate and if I have to choose hurmour I am faced with ill will and bullying. It’s hard work this joy caper.
This week I had to choose to laugh – and oh boy did i have very little to laugh about! This goal is really bringing a few things into very sharp focus for me which is frankly a good thing. But on the other hand I get to the end of the week and look back and think – well, I could have done that a bit better.
Perhaps I should be giving myself a little more credit. Perhaps (and this is completely precendented) I’m thinking too much about this.
Perhaps I sould just let this one go.
That would be sad. I know what I have to do to fix the things that are unkind and next week I will approach that situation with better humour. Here we go!
