Afternoon Pages - Pose, Wobble, Flow: Redux

As I begin to work on my Teacher as Ally badge, I am wobbling in more ways than one. First and foremost, I am wobbling with actually digging into the work and not procrastinating (as I wobble with EVERYTHING in my life). I have begun the groundwork for the badge, set deadlines for the different stages, and created my first blog for the project, but it seems like I can't do enough and I am putting off tasks that I could easily do. Because we are getting this badge done in a whole lot less time, I feel like I should be sprinting. But all I really want to do is leisurely walk.

I am also wobbling with the fact that I will be doing a Teach-In. I chose this badge because I feel like I will gain the most from learning how to be a Teacher Ally, but I am kind of intimidated to do a Teach-In in front of everyone. Not so much due to the fact that I am not comfortable presenting, but more so because I am in a room full of preservice teachers, those learning about how to be a good teacher, and I am teaching. I worry that I will experience more judgement (not because everyone is judge-y, but because everyone has good teaching practices on the mind).

However, I know that I will benefit immensely from this badge. It's imparative for me to become a Teacher Ally, and this badge is just leading me one step closer to some great techniques and resources. Therefore, I will attempt to flow while completing this badge by not overthinking it. I am a notorious overthinker, and I feel like this hinders me more than helps me.

Yes, I am wobbling, but hopefully I will flow somewhere during the course of this badge. I definitely know that I will grow while completing it.
