I’ve been spending some time recently checking in with me. Reminding myself of who I am, who I was, what I like, etc etc before I started giving so much of me to other people.
For instance, before Lawrence McMullin told me I would be a golfer, I was a track lover.
In junior high I was the anchor on all three relays. I LOVED track! But once high school rolled around, it was all about focusing on golf.
Yes golf took me places and did things for me, but what if he allowed me to stick with track and pursue what I really loved!?! What. If.
Who am I as a partner/lover? What do I really love!? What do I really want?
Maybe caking on the phone is more important to me than I realized. Maybe I didn’t realize this until I had it again and now I know, yeah I do like that!
Reminding myself to be authentically me. Be the person I was before the trust was shattered - before the routines - before the betrayals - on and on and on.
(*note - I realize I haven’t been an angel)
Learning to be part of team again. Once, I thought I was part of team only to find out they were out for themselves. I was loyal. I was Team US. They were not. They were Team Them.
I AM NOT A VICTIM. I am just re-thinking a lot of sh*t. I am focused on getting back to me.
I am learning that focusing on me is not selfish. It is necessary.
Who am I….
Without ‘working with the kids’?
Without the calls to ‘Ms. Sally’ to help fix things.
Without worrying about someone else’s child’s literacy CONSTANTLY.
I’m still a fixer. I’m still a problem solver. But now I need to do it for ME.
At this point, I need a Ms. Sally. Ha!
I can’t think of a better person to help me get back to me, than ME!
Reminding myself that I am a risk taker.
Reminding myself that I am resilient.
Reminding myself that I am gonna be okay.
Reminding myself to FORGIVE MYSELF.
Reminding myself of Gary Vaynerchuk’s quote - “Stop acting like you live twice!”
Are you being the person you know you are supposed to be?
Are you the person you want to be?
Are you being authentically you in all areas?
Thinking out loud. Thinking in public. Be easy on me. I can’t be the only one….
THAT’S IT Y’ALL - see ya here next Sunday at 3p CT
I’m always open to dialogue and feedback.
