Wow! What an uncomfortable day! Today is “Feed-back Day.” The day I solicited Informative feedback from 5 people. I sent out an email around 7am with the simple (HA!) question:
How do you see me limiting myself?
How can we change and improve ourselves as well as our relationships with others if we cannot hear feedback (positive and negative)? We cannot change behavior we are not aware of.
Within 2o minutes, I heard back from Lyn: “In the past, chasing too many goals at once and missing when it is your true genius work. ”
I am still waiting for the other’s feedback. I am fully aware that it will be helpful and constructive, but waiting to hear is like going to dentist after 3 years of not going. You know, you need someone else to tell you what’s going on because you are so close you can’t see it. It could go either way, you either have a few fillings or need a root canal!
Sitting here waiting creates all sorts of drama in my head. I go back to all the things I haven’t done instead of things I have completed. Am I limiting myself so much that everyone is afraid to tell me the truth? Imagination is always crazier than reality.
I am still a bit squirmy waiting …. I wish I could say this was a constructive day, but I can’t.
