I'm sure you...Are you sure you're not me?!<br /><br />I'm sure you're doing great considering how new you are to all of this. They wouldn't have offered you the promotion if they didn't think you could do it. Just give yourself some transition time, and eventually you'll get to where you want to be.<br /><br />That being said...<br /><br />This sounds like my inner thoughts the past few months. I try to keep quiet about it because I don't want to be that person that constantly whines on Facebook about how hard their life is. But in all honesty, these past few months have been brutally difficult. I cry much more than I've ever cried before, and I just feel like a failure all the time (which makes me cry more--ugh).<br /><br />Because I'm a perfectionist, if things aren't going exactly the way I think they should, I consider that failing. It sounds like you do, too. So I think the biggest challenge both of us have to conquer is ourselves. My principal told me (not me specifically, but a group of teachers) that with so much new going on this year, we need to give ourselves permission to fail. You're in a new situation, so I think that applies to you, too. I also think I need to work on not seeing something not going well as complete failure; sure, it's a setback, but it doesn't mean everything's ruined and terrible!<br /><br />And all of this is all well and good, but I know no matter how much people tell me I'm doing a great job, that it will get better, etc., if I don't believe it, it doesn't matter what they say. So there's that to overcome, too. Believe in you! You can do it!<br /><br />Anyway, this is as much to encourage me as it is to encourage you, which is rather selfish of me. :P But seriously, we can do it! You will be a great manager! Just give yourself some time to get the hang of this new way of working. You'll be awesome at it it no time.Brittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04488463268751586446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6558967.post-22451903907159637702013-11-27T13:49:19.250-07:002013-11-27T13:49:19.250-07:00Congrats on your promotion!
