Feeling Faint?

So the other day, as part of this new mindset of taking action and just DOING, I went and gave blood for the first time.

It’s something that my other half has been on at me to do for ages, pretty much since we got together actually, and I’ve always managed to find an excuse not to go. So when presented with the ‘Roosevelt Action’ mission 10 days ago, it was the first thing that popped into my head so I went with it.

It was all going swimmingly… until I fainted.

Now as someone that has zero experience of fainting, this being my first episode, I can tell you it’s not something that’s all too easy to describe. The sensation of having lost control of your own body is unpleasant to say the least. The slow, labouring walk from the blood-taking chair to the promised land of tea and biscuits suddenly turned into a lunar adventure; every step a floating, out of body experience. Add to that the feeling of slowly being tuned out of your surroundings, like a radio searching for a signal…
I could hear the fuzzy requests of kind nurses asking ‘Are you alright?’, ‘Can you hear me?’, ‘Let’s get you on this chair…’ but was unable to formulate a response. As if hearing and speaking has suddenly become mutually exclusive!

Then nothing.

When coming to it took a moment to reconcile my field of vision. The last thing I remembered was being hoisted into a chair but the first thing I saw was the ceiling. Evidently I hadn’t made it onto the chair and the floor was the next safest stop, complete with a ‘legs in the air’ cushion tucked under my bum. My first words:

“Did I fall off that chair?!”

Thankfully the answer was no, but my relief quickly turned to embarrassment as I realised I had decided to faint 5 yards from the entrance! Now, if the sight of a sweaty, confused, ginger woman sprawled out on the floor of a city council building isn’t enough to put you off donating blood for the first time I don’t know what is!? Luckily my episode took place before the post-work rush of donors so the witness pool was minimal.

Mercifully my recovery was pretty quick. I was able to peel myself off the cold parquet flooring, aided by a production line of friendly, kind faced nurses, who plonked me in a nice velvet covered chair and allowed me to stuff myself full of chocolate biscuits and orange squash (to restore my blood sugar levels of course, strictly medical – nurses orders).

Despite all this, I haven’t been put off! I still felt like a million bucks (once I’d recovered) when I left and it still makes me smile to think that just 470mls of my blood, 10 minutes of my time (minus the hour recovery) could potentially save someone’s life…

So go on… Give Blood. You never know, you might like it!

Taking BOLD action…

So rolling into Week 2 of the Pioneer Course with Careershifters and I’m feeling positive and energised and ready to take action! BOLD ACTION!!

Week 1 was a rollercoaster but all in all, embracing the missions and challenges has been great fun and really productive. Week 2 promises to be even more challenging and having just completed the first mission I’m feeling a little spooked at how easy it was to actually just ASK for something without worrying about the outcome. That old adage ‘Don’t ASK, Don’t GET’ is something that I’ve spouted and regurgitated many times to others in the past but is something that I’ve never really embraced in my own life – or at least not at a significant level.

As part of this weeks inspiration the coaches posted this video of Jia Jiang’s ‘The Surprising Lessons From 100 Days of Rejection’. 6 minutes in… check out some of the YES’s he got… and particularly the doughnut story and Jackie… definitely cried a little bit.

So on that note… tomorrow, when I go to pick up my wedding shoes, I’m going to ask for discount. Just ‘cus I CAN ask…

What will you do?

New Year. New Challenges.

Its been a while since I’ve posted; an extended Christmas break was necessary it seems. 2015 is here though and with it comes a host of changes in the pipeline.

The countdown to the Wedding is well and truly on, 4 months to the day in fact… hadn’t actually realised that until I typed it. YIKES! I’m so excited for the day itself, its guna be ‘hella’ cool but getting there seems a long way off yet… which reminds me I need to order my shoes as a matter of urgency!!!

I’ve signed myself up for the Pioneer course with Careershifters, starting next week. Exciting and scary times but it’s time to get serious and if I’m honest a well overdue move in the right direction. I’m feeling positive and really looking forward to opening some doors… or blasting through them if that’s what it takes.

In the mean time it’s my birthday next week and for the first time it seems to have sneaked up on me. Usually I’m very aware and counting down to big dates like Birthdays and Christmas but this year the Wedding is definitely pulling focus; although I’m most definitely looking forward to a few days away with my girl… no idea where we’re going mind you! She’s sneaky that one.

Well that’s all for now… something a little more interesting and fun on the way in a few days. Watch this space.
