Well, yesterday I did it. I started to craft emails to send to people. This feels like such a huge step in my journey. There was so much fear around it, but once I started to write the personalized emails, I started to feel excited and hopeful.
I really don’t know my next-next step but I’ll figure it out when I get there. The little voice inside me, that is not my inner critic, is saying start small. And I could hear the voice clearly when I was writing those emails. Writing 2-3 sentence emails seems like such a small thing to do, but it is a start.
I think I got through about 7 emails yesterday, my focus today is to write as many as I can. 20 or More will be the goal, but I hope I make it to like 40. I have around 1000 people on my friend list on FaceBook of people that I’ve been connected to for years and I may not reach out to all 1000, but i’m aiming for like 70% of the list.
My process is to write what I want to say, then put the message into ChatGPT to help refine the message, but keeping it as close to the original as possible.
I’m doing this in an excel document. Once I get a number of messages written, I will start to send the messages to the individuals.
I’d also like to go for a run today, which means I need to make sure I hydrate myself between now and when I go.
I’m also feeling a little sleepy, I didnt sleep well last night, so it might take a power nap before I start to write the emails. I will also use that time to visualize myself writing the emails. I find that helps my brain get moving, so when I sit down to do that task, I’m ready. My head and heart are aligned, and I feel at much more ease.
I hate the feeling of when my head and heart are out of alignment. I feel anxious and a little panicked. It's because my head and heart become at war with each other. Head is saying writing emails isn't enough, my heart is saying, it’s enough and it’s the right next step.
I will honor my process, and then get to work!
Much love,
Krystal Lavender
