We have all done it ...you know putting of that painful phone call or calls that you know you have to make. Your day is busy out of the blue phone calls (work related), you know it’s going to be mm potentially difficult specially when they don’t leave a message with what it is about. Finally you know you cannot leave it any longer, deep breath you phone...................yes answering machine : )
You know you cannot just leave it there, besides the fact
you said you would call back, (eyes rolling, sweat building) you phone.. They answer.
Your first few words you stumble over. Then they say..................
I nearly cried ...it was so positive, heartfelt thanks,
talking about the sense of hope they now had.........
So new motto "Just do it and then the 'pain'.............. Is
over", and not necessary unpleasant. This statement was made by a 10yr old
in a group when confronting a very challenging, emotional activity I had set
for them. So today I am grateful for her thoughts as I was thinking of her
words today as I went to make call. It shall now be known as my "Band-Aid response" (rip it off quick, pain is short lasting)
