Not fishing for compliments
Sep. 5th, 2007 08:39 amI had a realization this morning and I need to process it a bit. I could make this post private but I have found that stating things publicly is more powerful in helping me create change in my life so I am not.
( self-image doubts behind the cut )
Things I am aware that I am not doing because of these doubts:
Thinking of Burning Man as a real possibility in my life
Attending the Munch in Valpo
Following up on a couple of potential friendships
Going to festivals in the area
Going to DC for the Sept 15 protests (this one is particularly irrational)
Spending time in Chicago
Taking the next step to attend Meadville Lombard
Submitting a proposal for the winter Winter Womenspirit retreat
I do like wandering alone in the woods but I am also using that as a safety mechanism so that I have an "excuse" for not doing other things I would like to do if I were more comfortable with myself.
