What a question to start answering the prompts on again!!
There are lots of things that make me nervous. While I’m quite extroverted, I get nervous about EVERYTHING!!!
Let’s look at the things that have made me nervous in the last week.
16th April – seeing my private tap lesson student again since before Easter. “What if she’s changed her mind and doesn’t want to do it anymore because she’s fed up of me?”
17th April – doing the arts and crafts session in a care home. “What if they don’t like what I’ve got ready for them?”
18th April – a calm day actually!!
19th April – going in to the children’s school to have my parent reader induction. “What if they think that I’m not cut out for this?”
20th April – going to the zoo. How ridiculous!! “What happens if I struggle with my knees or ankles and we have to come home and my family will be grumpy with me?”
21st – doing the talky bit at the front of church and taking the lesson with my 2 slightly wild students. “What if I don’t make sense or the boys are just bored?”
Now that I’ve written these out I can see a clear pattern and I’m reminded again of a tattoo that I’m considering getting. It reads ‘let them’.
Let them have an opinion, let them help you, let them see your light, let them not like you. All of these are ok and as long as your motives are right and the thing you are doing is good, you’ll be ok.
Keep plodding on you lovely lot!
