I would like to share a story with you that happened a number of years ago. Maybe you can relate…
As my husband and I are packing the car to go camping, the phone rings. I recognize the phone number (you know, caller ID), it’s the office.
If you’ve ever gone camping, you know the list of things to bring is endless, and regardless you always forget something. So in this moment my head is spinning trying to “see” in my head’s list WHAT I will forget this time!
Begrudgingly I decide to answer –the phone that is- dreading a crisis or emergency from one of my clients.
It’s my collegue and coordinator of school based services. I work at a mental health clinic, part time.
She says: “I would love if you could do this for me (a red flag goes on in my head, I am going on vacation, for Pete’s sake!) I need you to do a presentation next Wednesday for the school guidance counselors, they’ll love to know about EFT.”
Without even thinking I say: “Sure, you got it!” She is very pleased and I get to go back to my packing…”
The following five days camping I dreaded the presentation, unable to prepare, almost sleepless in my tent thinking what the heck I was going to do.
I had committed to doing this on my OWN. I had only presented with my husband, who loves teaching and being on the stage.
I felt that I was going to make an ass of myself but without the costume! I was going to really mess up and my career was going to be over! They would just realize… what?
I cannot tell you the powerful, critical and even ridiculous thoughts I was having!
Then, it hit me!!! And I said to myself:
I have SOMETHING EMPOWERING TO SHARE, an AMAZING tool… and… I have the BEST INTENTIONS to share it with whoever is interested and open!!!
Let me tell you, I felt such a relief, I felt light, at ease and totally empowered! I’m still nervous, especially as we are driving to the site where the presentation will take place and I keep hearing potential numbers of attendees.
I am prepared for 15-20 people. I hear 40 and then 80 and that it will take place at the auditorium and the microphone.
I started tapping, really tapping! And I reminded myself that my intention, passion and mission is to do this.
I can proudly say that: I did it! I did my first SOLO FLIGHT, and I SOARED!
Perfect, absolutely NOT!
And yet, quite truly myself, passionately sharing my passion about helping others who are struggling with anxiety, feeling stuck, break free of the blocks that stand on their way of having the AWESOME, EMPOWERING life they want!
