Afraid to make mistakes. Perfectionism. Fear of failure. The paralysis of analysis. I’ve been conscious of and studying these ideas for the last ten years. I was just afflicted with them before that.
I shut down after being fired for the first time two years ago–cause was stated as insecurity and too much going on in my personal life to perform the job. Yet I also moved into the community that asked me not to lead that trip for them, and I’ve since been invited to lead international trips with them again. But I haven’t gone. I’ve finally settled on an interpretation of those events as that door closing. It marked the end of a decade-long career as an experiential educator and the end of a six-year relationship shortly afterward.
So this dovetails nicely into next week’s Moment. Not only was I unable to accept failure, but I was also self-punishing. Thought I have grieved a lot, in some ways I am still unable to grieve these changes–evidenced by an unwillingness or inability to move on.
Time to remind myself that there are other options–like compassion and trying again.
