When we set out to do something we have never done before there will be lots of steps and tasks that are new to us.
In this circumstance it is easy to be self-conscious about looking like we don’t know what we are doing.
Today we are going to tap for fear of being judged as we taken on things that are new to us.
I Am Worried Others Will Judge Me For Not Knowing What To Do
(audio 4m33s)
It’s exciting to be doing something new…It’s exciting to be doing something different…I am glad that I am working towards new goals…I am glad that there are new things in front of me…I’m glad that there are new opportunities…But because I am doing something new…It means I have to do things that I have never done before…And when I do things that I have never done before…People will see me not knowing what to do…People will see me being lost…People will see me being concerned…People will see me being overwhelmed…I don’t like looking lost…And I don’t like looking like I don’t understand…I want to fit in…I want to be seen as capable…But I recognize the fact…That most people are so involved in what they’re doing they’re not even going to notice me…And if they do notice me they’re more likely to recognize my effort…They’re going to recognize I’m trying something new…They’re going to recognize that I’m stretching…That I’m expanding…That I’m moving forward…And I appreciate the fact…That others are noticing my effort…But I know what is most important…Is the effort that I put forward…And the progress that I make…I’m going to encounter things that I don’t know how to do…I’m going to encounter things that I don’t know how to do…But everything in my life…Every single thing in my life…I couldn’t do when I first tried…I had to learn…I had to be seen as learning…I survived that…And I will survive this…There are people who are going to appreciate that I’m trying something new…And there are people who will be encouraged by that…I give myself permission to be easy with myself…Even when I’m concerned how others are going to see me.
Very applicable to my life. I have joined an open air watercolour group and all the points in this recording apply to this circumstance, I am getting plenty of material for tapping as well as learning new skills and meeting new people.
