OK Week 2?? getting back on track.
I didn't get up at 6AM but I did listen to my meditation and have read my first "Best Year of Your Life" card. Today's card is 'Choose Powerful Interpretations' and it actually resonates well with me. I received an e-mail last week from the Yoga Connection. I haven't responded yet but this is a great opportunity to put this card to practice.
Our interpretations of events influence how we feel about ourselves. My interview with the Yoga Connection really took away from the quality of my life, it influenced how I feel about myself as a yoga instructor. It was painful, embarrassing and hurtful. I need to examine this event and change my interpretation:
My memory of this event is that I was tired, I was nervous and I wanted to impress the people who were interviewing me or attending my class. When I found out through someone else that I did not get the job it was embarrassing. I am from Perth and wanted to teach in Perth. The way I found out about it was also hurtful. I don't feel that I was given the same opportunity for feedback or discussion as the other candidates were and I don't feel that the people from the Yoga Connection took the time to get to know me and what I could offer the organization. I don't see how it would have hurt for me to be given an opportunity to teach a class at a time that was not part of their main schedule rather than being allowed to teach as long as my name was not connected with the Studio.
Three positive interpretations of this occurrence:
- I was new to teaching and was told that it was not uncommon for teachers to need time to develop the skill of teaching. Other's working at the studio had also needed time to get comfortable. So this outcome was not uncommon for the yoga instructors that I looked up to.
-I was given positive feedback and was able to take this feedback to build my skills. I was also given the opportunity to use the space and referenced to a group that became one of my first classes. This feedback challenged me to look at sequencing and build my skills in this area.
- This was my first experience teaching so it gave me the practice I needed to move on and move forward. It allowed me the opportunity to meet Darlene and start teaching in Smiths Falls where I enjoy the energy and style of the instructors. I fit in very well there.
Today is week 2 of my yoga and belly dance. I am looking forward to that and have been spending more time with Dale. It has been great getting to know her and share some of our experiences.
