While we've got our heads into the idea of sharing the Innate Health understanding with others, I stumbled across this old post of mine, from back when I was running workshops with groups of social care staff.

I had totally forgotten that this had happened!!

😂

***May 2022***

Today I showed up for an online workshop I was running for a group, with quite a busy mind. A bit jangly. Feeling a little insecure about how it would go. Unsure about what I would be sharing with them, and what direction it would go in.

In short, I didn’t feel great.

So I did what it often makes sense to do when moving from one activity to another (inviting the group also to do the same): I slowed down, closed my eyes, took a deep breath & grounded myself in the here and now.

Today, however, I heard myself saying the following:

> *“I’m just going to get myself present to what’s about to happen.”* 😂🤣 

WTF?!?!

Chutney, tumbling from my mouth! A slip of the tongue that revealed my state of mind. It was such a nonsensical thing to have said, that I instantly fell out of my insecurities, and we were off.

I laughed, asked if anyone had noticed the utter ridiculousness of what I’d just said and it led to a beautiful exploration of the nature of the experience that we’re all having, 24/7/365/lifetime.

> *“Thanks for a great session!”* someone emailed, straight afterwards.

Even when I was ‘making a mess of things’ that’s just a thought-created story I’m believing.

I can’t be separate from that thriving aspect of life. None of us can.

I *am* it. Same for you.

(I’m going to do it again sometime\* and have named the incident, *‘The Incorrect Technique technique’* 😉😆)

\*I’m not, but life will offer an infinite number of alternatives and that’s what’s so great about it!

Nigh on four years later, I can report that while I haven't said anything *quite* this daft again, I have of course been quite up in my head when sat in front of an audience and about to speak.

And the advice-to-self remains the same:

> **Slow down, close your eyes, take a deep breath & ground yourself in the here and now.**

Whoever you're talking to, and whatever the context, they'll thank you for taking a moment.

And you'll know what to say.
