My goal was to give out "100 notes to a stranger" over the course of the year. I have given out zero so far.
I was so excited about this requirement!! I know what it's like to be on the receiving end of one of these. It made me feel seen. It made me feel connected. I want other people to feel that way. To know that they are important and that they belong and that I see them.
So what's holding me back?
I have developed a fear of rejection. The world is a funny place these days. People are very guarded. Suspicious. Closed off. And I have this worry that someone might throw it back in my face or be weirded out, or maybe even feel patronized or judged.
And so now I find myself overthinking it. Worrying that it will not be received as intended. And I'm just sitting here frozen.

Would it help if the team got together to make notes with you. Like a crafting session, dressing them up a bit?
ReplyDeleteCould you also just leave notes for people to find? Would still be within the spirit of the requirement?
The notes are to be personal and so should come with me. But maybe I could start with leaving them randomly and work my way towards face to face.
