#OLCBreneCourse
This is the first week in my e-class with Brene Brown and her book "gifts of imperfection." Already this first assignment has totally changed my life! Every week we read in her book and then do a creative journal assignment. This week's creative journal assignment question is focused on:
What do you have to give yourself permission to do when you are doing something scary?
This is a perfect assignment for me right now in my life because I have struggled with social anxiety for years. I may have to do some public speaking in the next couple of months and already feel myself getting anxious about it. I have held back a lot in my life because I "over think" everything before I say it. I think people will judge me for saying something totally un-cool, or that I will appear un-intelligent and look like a fool. All through high school and cosmetology school I was labeled "shy" and "boring" because I never talked! It's time to change that!
Soooo, here is my creative journal entry...
I give myself permission to:
* Say stupid things
* Look funny
* Be scared
* Have nothing to say (blank mind)
* To be imperfect
* To fail
* Fully feel and celebrate joy!
* To be seen
* To speak up when I want/need to
* To live in the moment
* To stop worrying!
Ahhhh!!! That is a huge weight off my shoulders!
I am enough.
