My work has become more powerful - I am being bold. I am making my way into being a leader in the role I have. Assertive, clear, direct, taking charge - amazingly it reduces the possibility of frustration and conflict with others. And I can trust the group to push back when they need to since they learn to trust me to lead them. I can let go right after giving the lead to the group and they really take it - what a nice partnership. I read Pema Chodron today - emotions take about 90 seconds to run through us - it's the stories we construct around them that stay with us forever, take on a life of their own and shape our identify and destiny.
And so I am paying attention to those emotionsm, letting them run their course and staying open and softer. I can then also play more, not having to protect, anticipate or be anxious. Well, at least getting better at it.
And so I have been taking more risks to follow my intuition, pause to listen into myself and then act on it. Trust my intuition that led me to design and shape my work to begin with. I think, my greatest courage has been to let go more and more of outcome and stories; of needing approval and of trying to be perfect, to get it right. A work in progress and so far it is paying off.
Now I have to go the next step and fill my life with joy and play!
