🌴252. The First 10 Minutes
Two super quick reflections today.
First up: the settling in period. Whether I’m running, or just switching tasks at my desk, those first 10 minutes always feel clunky. You’re questioning yourself, wondering how you’ll keep going. But if you can just hold out, your body (and mind) adapts faster than you think. Don’t judge yourself in that early stretch—just celebrate that you started.
The second thing? I’ve realised I really struggle to record or take calls when there are just one or two people nearby. Put me in a noisy café or a packed street and I’m fine. But one person behind me? Suddenly I feel self-conscious, like they’re hanging on every word. Isn’t it funny how I can record a podcast that goes out to thousands, yet freeze up when one stranger might overhear?
So, today’s episode is about both:
- Giving yourself grace in that awkward settling-in phase.
- And asking: how do you keep recording when you know someone is in earshot?
If you’ve got tips on the second one, send them my way—I’d love to hear them!
