This week it was so nice to go to a work event and not have impostor syndrome.
I get this because of my relatively poor memory: not remembering people, deals and the market in general. The difficulty shows up as constant subtle underlying tension and an over-active mind looking for protection from the “what-ifs”.
It was so nice to be forthright in saying “I don’t remember,” and to be relaxed if the work-chat came to a standstill: relaxed enough so that after a drink I could even have a laugh, arguably the best thing for networking.
What made the difference?
- A dash of mindfulness so I experienced the stress as just a body sensation
- Knowledge that my colleagues have my back, and
- Gin and Tonic.
Maybe it is worth packaging this "mbGT" - mind back Gin and Tonic.
