Had to address a group of 15 strangers today at work. I thought I handled the lead up pretty well. I was out of my depth and it went better than I thought it would. I did not really remember, until afterwards but a feeling of "being judged", and being "inadequate" has been an issue for me over the years. Over the last few years it got worse in the context of drinking, hangovers, efforts to conceal, maintain public appearance etc. Today, it is Monday, I am sober, without a hangover. I think I might have grown a bit. The "negative" predictions before the event were unfounded- my audience were very charitable.
One minute at a time
Take care all.
