paper planes

Expect the unexpected... The final exercise of this weekend's NLP class threw me. Which in turn frustrated me immensely. Rather than seeing the opportunities that frustrations offer, I still have the mental attitude that I want life to be rainbows and unicorns at all times.

I am happy to say though that after a good night's sleep (circling thoughts can be tiring!), as well as some good advice, I feel much better about it all today.

The weekend finished with a lovely little exercise. Everyone had to write their name on a piece of paper and then fold it into a paper plane. Which was then send flying. Over a few rounds, everyone then picked up a plane and wrote something positive about that person on the plane. So, we all ended up with a collection of positive feedback.

Needless to say that accepting positive feedback continues to be one of my issues. Yes, it is pretty amazing how I manage to make everything into an issue... Nonetheless, it was a great idea and maybe - just maybe - I will be able to accept that some of what was written down for me, is indeed part of me.
