I've had some good thinking time while I've been home sick (and still am- asthma takes forever to return to normal!). A couple of years ago I read a brilliant book called "What Color Is Your Parachute?" which helps you figure out what you're good at and what kind of job would suit you. Last week I did a couple of the exercises again, and established my favourite skills to use and the areas that interest me.
Skills:
- generating new ideas
- artistic presentation
- public speaking
- teamwork
- extracting important information
- team building
Areas of interest:
- spirituality
- singing
- drama
- classics
- literature
- music performance
Notice how dance doesn't really make an appearance? Have you, like Lucas, noticed what I've been hiding from, that I actually don't like dancing? I'm glad I've sunk so much time and effort into it, because it's a useful skill to have for auditions and shows, but from now on, I'm taking the pressure off myself. I take a few classes, because it's good for my fitness and also for my CV, but I am not *a dancer*. What a relief.
