Everyone seemed to reinforce my negative thoughts, without realising they were doing it

Forced to hide and hate a huge part of me.

Odds are nobody will be reading it, so what’s the problem?

As I was merrily working my way through my 100 Days of Cloud challenge, I was posting links to my articles across LinkedIn, Twitter and Reddit, not many people really replied, but then something happened. There were a few people that would reply to me more than once, or I would spot the same few people liking my posts all the time, so guess what I did? I had a look at their profile and started to see what they were posting about and to my amazement, wow there were doing similar things to me, and no doubt they were probably battling with the same doubts, or barriers that I was dealing with. so, I liked their posts as well, I offered them words of support and encouragement.

The only thing holding you back is fear and the answer no. You need to find a tool to help you have no fear. You need to just do it!

I bend like grass and blow like leaves yet feel discouraged and people look for my pictures instead of words

It’s like a tiny plant growing in cracks, hustling to bloom but failing because no one likes where she’s coming from.

Why do we need a garden to love the flower? Aren’t wildflowers flowers too??

Why do we judge an artist by the skin they are in and not by what they’re writing?

Why do we encourage people with million followers and ignore the novices discovering art?

I was experiencing my own anxiety as I was trying to help others cope with their anxiety

Thankfully the other 3 webinars didn’t experience any more technical difficulties, so I’m grateful for that and now I’ve got another new skill. Regardless, there was vulnerability in that experience. There is vulnerability in hosting a webinar and hoping that people show up, and that if they do, they feel connected to what you have to say. We are all trying to adapt our personal & professional  lives to deal with the massive change in front of us, and there is a roller coaster of emotion that can come along with that. My vulnerability in the midst of this is something that can connect us, just as well as (if not better than) just talking about things I’m happy about or thankful for.
