I woke up this morning pretty refreshed. Grabbed a cup of joe…. cup of coffee like I always do. With a husband named Joe saying I grabbed a cup of him is weird 😉 Hopped on the couch to enjoy the view from my living room window. As I sit I can feel myself getting worked up. I’m nervous. Like, really nervous. I can normally shake nerves pretty well. I usually enjoy this, this pushing of myself. I feel compelled in life to push my “limits.”
50 hours from now Joe and Cattie will be dropping me off to fly out to California for a conference, Showit UNITED. Â It’s going to be ridiculously fun. I probably will not sleep, consume alot of caffeine, reconnect with great friends and make many many more. And the speaking lineup is straight up ridiculous. Justin & Mary, Jeff Jochum, Zach & Jody, Karen & Isaac, Mike Larson, Katelyn James, Trevor Dayley, Kevin Hall, Kenny Kim, Promise Tangeman, it goes on. And tucked in that list of names is mine, Jackie Gannon.
I’m actually really pumped to talk. It’s not the talking that’s had me freaked out at all. I had mentally prepared myself to talk to maybe 30 people. MAYBE 30 people. Then I got an email that we’re having 2 other classes happen at the same time as mine. So my talk is taking place in the main room. The main room holds every attendee if they want to come. I’ve see this room. It’s HUGE!!!!! HUGE! People. REAL HUGE! What if my class starts and the room is empty? 😮 Flip side what if it’s full 😮  I’m just trying to wrap my head around my short self talking in this ginormous room. After finishing this coffee I’ve realized that’s what making my nerves go whack. The size of this room. In the end, what can I do about it? NADA.
When I’m challenging myself it usually starts with nerves, heart racing. Then the pep talk with myself begins. Ends with ‘what could really happen’ or ‘what can I do about it.’ Deep breath. Boom, do it. This post was my pep talk, just out loud this time.
Deep breath.
… Can’t wait for some warmth, sun, and the beach. But I am definitely going to miss this…
Happy Thursday 🙂
