‘Turning Up Is Enough’
I noticed yesterday that ‘turning up’ is enough. I have been involved with training and presenting for a while now, either as a college teacher or an NLP trainer, and it is safe to say that an approaching appointment for training would be a ’signal’ for me to get nervous, anxious and to have those butterflies in my stomach that I always get, kind of automatic, they just ’show up’ for me in the context of ‘training is coming’.
It is like I believe I need those feelings, that I have labled anxiety, in order to be prepared. When ’still’ enough, I can hear my internal conversation, ‘I will not get in the ‘zone’ for training if i don’t ‘generate’ some ‘fear’ about my performance’, and when relaxing and enjoying being with the person in front of me, the voice smashes it’s way in, ‘YOU ARE IN TROUBLE, you are not thinking about the training, you will dry up’!
This weekend went FANTASTIC, I did the preperation needed, forgot about the training until it’s time arrived, and then just ‘turned up’, present to those being trained, and I discovered that ‘turning up is enough’!
