It is funny. How some things can be quite natural for you and other things that seem similar can be so scary!I just had the opportunity to experience that myself again. Although I still can get a little nervous when I have to talk to a large group of people or before I meet a new group I will train, that nervousness usually disappears the moment I start talking.Now another challenge was put in front of me. An opportunity to stretch…When I was younger, I played the guitar pretty well. Harry Sacksioni kind of stuff. You can find him on YouTube if you like to dig into that. Anyway. When I moved to Amsterdam I pretty much left the guitar behind and never really played again. Till a few months ago. Amazing how after 18 years of not playing at all pretty difficult songs can pop back into your fingers. Speaking of body-memory…. Anyway. This week I had the opportunity to play in front of a group of people. And I got scared….But hey, as you know me, put a challenge in my face and I will probably take it on, so I took this one as an opportunity to stretch myself. And so I did. I played Harry Sacksioni. Pretty bad I must say. Although the audience was kind of impressed due to the fact they had no idea I could play at all…I was soaking wet afterwards, that was the level of scariness this stretch brought me. But I did it. And hey, I’m still alive! And I enlarged my comfortzone again.So if you ever have the opportunity to stretch yourself… Just Do it! You will live a greater live.
