Relief, delight, spaciousness, agency—these are the feelings I experience…

No appointments, calls, or video chats, no classes or deadlines for today! While there’s lots to be done, I am the designer of my day—and I LOVE it! Sure, we all have (varying degrees) of opportunity to shape our days—this one is bliss for me, as I am feeling overstuffed of late. The chance to plan, prepare, and dive into my projects is exhilarating.

What about you? How are you feeling about your days (and evenings)? Have you figured out how to ride the waves of work, opportunity, and connection — both professional and personal?

Visual Note-Making—My Newest Self-Reflection Tool!

May 21, 2020 /0 Comments/in /by

I came to the realization slowly… after I had written and drawn all my thoughts. The ideas, questions, concerns, and feelings of frustration, curiosity, and uncertainty were still fresh for me. Once I stepped back from my drawing and realized that I was using it as a reflection and self-coaching tool, I had to chuckle!

How about you? Do you use your tools for yourself, your personal reflection? Please share if you do! If you want to chat about this, let’s do it!

What was the nature of your journey to your current position?

How did you get to where you are now? Was yours a rather straight path to your current work or were there bends in the road or interesting side trips that enriched your travel to your current destination?

What is your capacity right now? Are you’re feeling the desire to step into something new? How do you create harmony between where you are and where you want to be (I do wonder if there is such a thing as “balance”)?

How is your work being viewed and (possibly) used?

Do you have a sense of where in the world your work can be found and how it is being seen, understood, and, perhaps, used?

My experience with a visual posted on the Graphic Facilitation FB page made me frustrated, angry, and ultimately, more thoughtful about how and where our work may be viewed, understood, and used. There’s an opportunity here for deep conversation!
