Lovely to read your pieces. Many reflect what I thought at a not dissimilar period in my life and business story. Now I have been happily work free for over fifteen years and each day is a joy, all created with little planning. Will keep following your wise words.
Lovely to hear from you Peter. I’m glad you find my words relatable. And even gladder that you appreciate the joy of each day. Here’s to many more 🥂Merry Christmas
Cyd is just a gorgeous girl. I find nerves and excitement all get thrown into the mix of the adrenaline rush and if I don't manage the feeling positively, it can go either way. We need some adrenaline to perform but if I let mine get the better of me, I dissolve but once the positive excitement switch kicks in, I can get the better of it and enjoy the whole experience. It that makes sense!
Makes perfect sense Gill. I think It’s all in the story we tell/allow ourselves about the feelings and about who we are. Recognising the signs is sometimes the hardest part.
First of all, Cyd is a cutie. As for the coping mechanisms, well my dad always told me that if you look as though you should be there then noone will question you. So, no matter if its a new place, new people or people I have known forever, I will always endeavour to look as if I belong. Put my confident face on. I might be quaking in my boots but my face will always have a smile, and I will always look people in the eye and say hello 🤗
Always love reading your blog Ruth. I still get nervous networking. I think it’s the familiarity of old feelings for me…and I continue to embrace and move forward.
Have a wonderful break and would love to catch up over a cuppa ☕️ soon xx

Interpreting nerves as excitement and therefore opportunity is such a great way to reframe it! Thanks Ruth! X
Sounds familiar doesn’t it Steph :-) x
