Mixed emotions around work win

I like this a lot: What if just acknowledging how you feel without having or rushing to change it is the win?
This is helpful. When people ask me about the job, or I bump into people I know in the building: acknowledge my discomfort in telling them what I’m doing but tell them anyway without explanation or apology.

Okay, this is a powerful next step. I wonder if you can complete the model…

C: People ask me about job, run into people in building, feel discomfort
T: What would you have to think to create the feeling that would allow you to take the actions below and create your R line?
F: How would you have to feel to take the actions below?
S: Where in your body would you feel this?
A: Acknowledge discomfort, tell them anyway without explanation or apology
R: Feel at ease with who I am and the choices I’ve made
