Ok, so I have to do a project. It seems a bit overwhelming. We are dealing with insecurity, fear, perception and reality. A bit of a heavy course? Definitely! Have I enjoyed every moment of the class? Absolutely! BUT ~ here is where the rubber meets the road so to speak.
The main purpose of this particular lesson is to blast apart our perceptions of ourselves and tear down all of the lies and chatter that we spend most of our time telling ourselves. I know you know what I am talking about...
I am not good enough; bad things always happen to me; I don't deserve anything; no one likes me anyways... etc. And let's not even get started on the whole body image stuff!
Ugh! So, one of the projects we can choose - and there are added points assigned to how difficult the project will be to undertake - is to survey 25-50 people in our lives to get their HONEST perspective of who and what we are and represent. I, being the first born, high achiever - of course have accepted the most difficult one on the list.
These surveys can be done anonymously so that if someone wants to tell you something constructive or critical, they do not have to place their name on it. Once the surveys are completed, we are to compile the answers and see if we agree or disagree, and make a commitment to ourselves to make any changes that we feel may be necessary as a result. Changes being either, to be more authentic, or more bold, or if the responses follow the same pattern and it is destructive, to look at that area of our lives for deeper clarity.
So... any takers? Is there anyone who would be interested in filling out one of these surveys for me? I will send it to you and if you want to be anonymous, we will figure out some way for me to get the answers without knowing it is you.
I just realized that I am giving everyone I know free license to pick me apart!!! Ack! lol... I am sure that I can handle it...
Thank you!!! I hope I have at least a few of you who will help me out... Now I just have to go talk to the people who are in my "real" life. :o)
