It was during Thursday nights IHC class I felt a sudden sense of appreciation and team connection. It isn't that I haven't had these feelings before, it just really stood out for me that night. Those feelings continued as we paired up to support, give feedback and learn from each other. It was the individual and combined efforts of all during class that night as we worked towards a common goal, preparing for our annual year end Chinese New Years Banquet.
As I worked through a sticky part of my form that night I came away with some solutions to work on and a renewed sense of motivation. I had already known what I needed and wanted to work on. What really helped though was talking it out and going through the transitions with someone else observing and giving feedback. Thank you Todai Thelwall!
I experienced a similar sense of appreciation again during the 2nd degree zoom class on Saturday. For me the 2nd degree class is a much needed reminder of perspective, community, connections and how important it is to continue to nurture our foundation. This particular class really helps to keep me grounded and more focused. And it helps to keep me humble as I am reminded of how far I've come and how far I've yet to go and the positive impact we can all have on those around us.
It is interesting and encouraging to be at a place in my life where I am able to embrace and feel excitement in the effort still needed and in the possibilities of continued self awareness and self improvement.
*Numbers to follow in a couple of days.
