for more worrying??
I've written my Toastmasters speech 9 and now I'm left to the editing and most important, practising my delivery. Today, I just don't want to. Stomping my feet saying "no, no, no!" unleashing my inner toddler.
I've considered the barriers that could be impeding my focus and motivation. Nervousness is a definite answer. This speech isn't just any speech but a speech for competition. I haven't competed in a speech contest since elementary school. Oh, I did a one-time stint in the high school debate club but it was one day and one day only. Moreover, I didn't even enjoy it.
As I type and delve further, I realize that my reluctance to practice is deeper than just mere nerves. It appears I'm going through some self-worth issues. As this realization dawns, I see the need for action. Even thinking about how I disliked the debate club experience, I do believe that I would see things differently today.
Somehow the magic of blogging has worked. I've refocused. Off I go to practice my speech.
