Perspectives, anyone? Last night I was invited to partner up to do a one-month personal development session (hypnosis, NLP, coaching) for a group of 97 young women at a university in China next year. It would also involve doing presentations open to the whole university and possibly doing some community stuff as well.
I was thinking: I would be totally stupid not to do this, and was completely ready to commit last night, but I woke up this morning absolutely terrified about the money part! It's not a paid position; my room & board would be covered but I have to provide my own airfare and also have to cover my expenses back home (rent & utilities) while I'm gone for the five weeks I'm gone plus the month afterwards, after a month of no income.
My partner and I brainstormed a little and are thinking of doing some fundraising for our expenses, which feels kind of confronting to me: asking for help. Although I feel pretty good about some of the sources of help we've thought of, I think they would be delighted to help, but ack, I can feel resistance coming up in my hackles just thinking about it (I know, I know, so that means there's a learning experience in there.
) I'm on a bit of a roller coaster this morning, wavering wildly back and forth between saying YES!! and {noooo...}
It's a wonderful dilemma to be in, but ack ack adack! Just looking for .... I don't know what I'm looking for..... just some support in a time of wild vacillation, I guess!
Thanks.
