Excitement Overwhelm - Get it, Got it, Great ... GIGIG

Get it - what is the real issue
Have just attended an amazing conference, workshop and watched a You Tube video which all speak to me really loudly and resonates so much in personal  life and professional life.  I feel I have hit on something and I have of course not.  I have a lot of energy and making myself feel overwhelm and pressure to share this information with others and consolidate it and use it.  Phew. 

Fact is I am using a lot of it anyway in Occupational Therapy, Supervision and Coaching, which is a great confirmation.  So what is my issue.  What is that I feel pressured to do?

Got it - now I know, what are my choices
I have it.  I am so excited and have all these feelings in my tummy, I want them to stop and I am concerned that I will forget stuff.
Options

• be mindful of my feelings, use ACT to sit with them
• treadmill for 30 mins
• eat my through
• drink wine
• get lost in You Tube
• watch a TED video that is always worthwhile
• play games on the computer
• remunerate about it and do nothing
• bore my husband with it
• write a list/plan of where and how I want to share this stuff
• actually - I have written up notes
• wrote an article this morning
• informed a couple of people already

Need to give myself some compassion and enjoy 3 lovely slow breaths in and out - there done, feel better already.

Great ... I get to

• watch a lovely DVD 2.30 mins of lovely scenery and music
• make room for my feelings and breathe in to them
• make a plan on the new on line Ta Da lists
• then definitely have a glass of wine

Um - what might stop me

• distraction
• eating instead of being - haha
• not wanting to sit with good but uncomfortable feelings
• procrastinating

Great ... what can I do to over come the above

• just do my plan without thinking and judgement

Ta Da

• I am so pleased that I did this here
• Feel a bit vulnerable sharing my experience but hope it helps someone else
• Glad to see how I can sabotage myself sometimes  and ruin something that is really fantastic and exciting - wahoo
• Love the breathing - kind of handy

Celebrate

• Glass of wine
• Enjoying beautiful video and music
• Just being
• Will give myself a gold star - literally in my gratitude note book

What worked - Gratitude

• Writing this, not judging
• Putting things in black and white cannot believe what I have achieved already
• So grateful to have experienced the above and share it

So my challenge or enquiry to you.  Can you think of a time that some really cool happened and you were overwhelmed with how you were going to deal with it.  Try GIGIG and see if it could work for you.
