Today I was put into a brand new environment.
I went with people who were very comfortable in the environment. They were like fish in water. Very natural and completely at ease.
I was not.
It was interesting to observe.
I did not know where to put my hands. I did not know what to say. I felt awkward. I was nervous.
I actually felt under pressure.
An hour or two later, I was back to my normality. My world. Safe and familiar.
I could breathe easily again.
So my reflection today is, when were you last out of your environment? What did you do to cope? How could you have prepared for it? And also, how can we help others, when they enter our environment? How can we be more senstive to their needs?
Maybe I should do this more often.
curious! do tell! more details:))
