Hi all,
My first post!
It has been a real journey just getting to
this point of posting! The interesting part has been watching myself
from the outside trying to get to grips with this new piece of
'equipment' called blogspot.
I know and have known for a long time
that I can be really impatient with myself when trying something new,
particularly if I am unable to 'produce' immediately. I can remember
the first time I felt that feeling of impatience, it was when my
grandmother was trying to teach me to crochet. She insisted on showing
and showing and..... all the time I could feel myself becoming more and
more annoyed, i just wanted to 'have a go'. I needed to physically try
it, not look at it, not talk about it, not think about it but TRY IT!
The opportunity to reflect because of the MAPP has immediately reminded
me of my natural approach and actually because I am able to see it, I
have tried to be patient and breath! (last week I was ready to throw the
computer and stamp on it).
I have already posted this somewhere, maybe google+? At the moment, I remaining in the calm frame and trying to ensure that somehow, somewhere, someone will see this!
Let me know
Hello Tara.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to our blog community and to the MAPP world. I can remember myself struggeling with set up of the blog and the confusion with google +. I think I used two weeks to find out where to write the information "about me". But after some time you do get used to it:) Best of luck with your blog!

Thanks so much Maria! I feel a little better and more inspired since the skype call this afternoon. I have so many thoughts in different areas so I will be spending some time with my journal this week getting it down on paper. There was some really useful advice even though everyone on the chat is at a more advanced stage in programme than I am.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for your response, I look forward to being in touch.
Well done! I think it took me a lot longer to work it all out and I feel like sometimes I'm still not 100% sure of what I'm doing! It was a really encouraging skype call just to be reminded that his is a journey that we are all on and we can all help each other along the way.
ReplyDeleteSorry i am a bit late in responding, but thanks so much Tamzin
