I met a woman for coffee today, she was looking to include a student midwife. I went with a friend who has a full roster of clients at the moment and could not take her on. Initially I felt insecure. I thought she may not have liked me. I felt a bit inferior to my vibrant friendly friend who could put a smile on the face of an ogre. It was good that I said yes to this situation. Earlier on I had been reticent, recalcitrant, reluctant to add more work as I have felt a bit demoralized of late in regards to uni. My kind friend listened without judgement and encouraged me. She reminded me that I have a lot of support. Lots of friends. Lots of positive role models. This mood has made work more difficult as I tend to believe what I feel without checking in. I suppose that I would in the future like to not accept my feelings and behaviour at face value. Put my goals ahead of my thoughts and feelings. So that I can achieve beyond my current limitations. Consciously. This is possibly just called being an adult :)
