Just noting some things since starting USLM3:
- I've been more conscious of my dress and image
- I've felt MUCH less fear of taking responsibility at work and also at home
- I've noticed my posture and attitude is more positive and intentional.
- Instead of feeling fear when looking people in the eyes, I've felt motivated to do this. Old irrational fears always had me looking away before. I did no planning or preparing to look at people in the eyes.
- I'm thinking a lot of one business I learned of 2 weeks ago. I feel a mix of "why not?" and motivation. It's also 95% passive.
- I followed one guy's suggestion today to end my workday 30 minutes before I was scheduled to leave. When asked why by my shocked coworker, I repeated the very line he had hit me with weeks earlier. He's a military historian, and one day he corrected me with "Hitler lost the war since he didn't listen to his generals". At that time, I was leading a group of 4 or 5 (fearfully), and I was making quick, ineffective decisions, making it harder for everyone. I'm no advocate of Hitler in any way, but my coworker's wisdom makes sense every time I think of it, for it told me I wasn't hearing others around me. I listened and followed the suggestion today.
- Having dreams related to actual fears tell me the FRM is hitting on major issues in my life.
