Models on Work Part 4

I became really overwhelmed about my workload yesterday which I think stemmed from my feelings about this task. (It also stemmed from what I felt was too much being demanded of me, some of it last minute too, but that’s for another day)
Because it’s been quite last minute, booking models hasn’t been easy for the location closer to me. Now I have to travel the 2hrs instead as we’ve secured models closer to the person I’m filming with.
I couldn’t think straight enough to see a clear path of decisions or options when it came to booking models, so organisation has been passed on to someone else. I’m somewhat relieved it was to be honest. They’ve sorted it quickly and been a great help to which I’m expressed my gratitude about.

Choices that are my own= 1. Choosing how I want to film, which is to keep it simple this time. 2. My attitude/thoughts towards the filming and myself

Thoughts I can question= “I have to suck it up”
Yes, I do have to suck it up and do it but maybe I can look at this Thought a different way.
“I don’t want do this but have to and it’s because I’m capable of doing this”
“I don’t want to do this but I have to and when it’s done, it’s done”
“I don’t want to do this but I have to and it’s a few hours of sucking it up and then it’s over”

Thoughts I can throw away= “I don’t want to do this”
I’ve allowed myself to feel the frustration, anger and tantrum-inducing feeling in my body. ANd it’s pretty much still there. I feel it, I see it, I recognise it, but it’s not going to help in any way here.

 

Answer:

 

In times like this, I like to ask what the low hanging fruit is that you could pick here. What’s the low bar for success in terms of your thoughts and your feelings as you move into filming? I wonder if bridge or ladder thoughts might help you through this.

If you could have your hard feelings over for tea to have a friend-to-friend chat, what would you want to tell them? What would you need to hear from them? How could you come to an agreement for the time being about understanding each other? What do you need to call up and invite to the table on purpose and how can you create that opportunity for yourself as you go into this experience?
