I crave change.
And I dislike change.
I crave change when it's my idea, or when my mind is open to the new idea, project, way of doing things.
I've been feeling stuck.
Change is coming and it is not going to be easy. It will be (and already is) extremely mentally challenging.
My task: to make space for the new. I need space to ponder, create, explore. All in a safe environment.
What am I certain of?
1. This will not happen during a planning period.
2. A safe environment = me and my very closest friend(s).
What do I fear?
1. That I lack the ability to make this change.
2. That my best will not be good enough.
Well, now I think I can get to work, because I've named the fear, and it is not so scary anymore.
Ha, your first two lines sound like me. As long as it's my idea, it's all good.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah for you - saying it won't happen during your plan time. Sometimes we need to fiercely protect that precious time!
Hope all goes well! Sara
Thanks for sharing Alyce. I hope the change goes smoothly for you!

I think the problem with change that comes from administration is 1) you have no choice in the matter. 2) They dictate things but don't have to struggle to implement them and 3) They want it done now. Maybe your change has nothing to do with school...but I hope it goes well. : )
