Thank you for sharing this! I don’t think any of us assume going into business is anxiety-inducing out of the gate. I think we all think it is our path to peace and freedom. Then we dive in and find out it is another spiritual, mental, and emotional minefield for us to grow through. I suppose, if we choose to grow through it! I’ve also been experiencing something similar, but with my corporate career. I’ve been mining through my memories to understand why work tends to put me in fight-or-flight, and it is similar to what you shared about being made different and weird by other people. With a healthy dose of fear of not being good enough and having my livelihood taken from me. I really like the way that you framed disappointment, and I will be applying that lens to this and other emotions that come up in the future.
Laura, I have not stopped thinking about how you said, "we all think it is our path to peace and freedom". I completely forgot that's how I used to feel. It's led me down a rabbit hole of soul retrieval and so much more. Thank you for your insights!
