Recently learned that excitement and anxiousness share the same body reaction/symptoms. This knowledge came in super handy, because I was feeling the jitters after being given a new opportunity that feels too big. Quickly told myself I am just excited for the new work, the new perspective and the new leadership! Making sure my brain knows how to make out the stomach feelings. Lol.
The past month feels like a new journey of self-discovery; started journaling and just unloading anything and everything. It feels good and makes it easier to process the thoughts I have. Along with journaling, I've also been getting affirmative posts in my algorithm - so many reminders, and so many good perspectives to help change my own narrative.
Repeating this to myself right now:
"I belong in any room that I'm in, no matter who else is in that room. I'm doing something and bringing something to the room, that nobody else can do the way that I do."
Life and its wonders; chance upon a podcast clip with the guest sharing that statement about how to learn to be confident, at the peak of my anxiousness. Wondering how and what I could bring to the table in the new opportunity, but no. Now, I am excited for the chance and will just ride the wave because I should have accepted it that I belong here. In whatever room I am in.
I have also been listening closely to what people tell me, what they say of me recently and making myself believe what they say (compliments), instead of doubting what was said and wondering 'why'.
