Ordination into the UU Ministry: Today Was My Big Day!

Today was my big day. A once in a lifetime affirmation that inspires my journey. If you missed it, you can watch the replay here: https://lnkd.in/eq4eJG6f

I started off anxious but quickly turned it into a more productive and healthier feeling – excitement.How do you handle anxiousness around a big occasion or important situation?

How do you “let it go” so you can enjoy the journey and lean into the possibilities?For me, I have lots of practice turning anxiety into excitement. ☺️

Both feelings: anxiety and excitement, come from the exact same source.

The “trick” is to decide about how you choose to perceive it.At the end of the day, we choose how we will react. We choose what we will feel.Think of it this way: Two people can be home alone. Quiet. Silence.

Stillness.

One person is lonely.The other is relieved to have solitude. Grateful for the quiet stillness.Same situation, different perspectives. 🙂‍↔️

Leadership starts with us. When we, as leaders - have self-awareness and mastery of our own responses, we increase our capacity for leading others through theirs.
