Doses of "Ecstasy" !

"Practice make perfect!" is always one of my favorite sentence to encourage my students to fine tune their therapy work till they do it effortlessly with confidence. In order to master a craft I can't think of any other way even if that person is gifted.

I am never a very out spoken or extrovert person in real life, I mean, when I am with a group of strangers likely I will be reserved and quiet. Ironically, when I am teaching in a small group or a class of more than 30 people in a workshop, some how I will just transform to another person which even I surprise myself. Naturally, this transformation come with lots of opportunity and practices by standing in front of a group of strangers, working very hard to seek every moment of attention in that few hours. In the beginning as a trainer, I started with lots of fear, anxiety and worries. At times I even appeared disorientated, blurred or even blushed, especially when I am not well prepared or I painfully witness my students dozing off or leaving the class. But now, after all these years of teaching experience, I enjoy so much that at times I couldn't control my surge of adrenaline in my blood. Is like a drug that make me very "high".

I have to admit this dose of "ecstasy" will only react to the greatest effect when there are lots of interaction and participation in the class. Sometimes, I realized that it is not only the students are learning from me in the class but I could be learning more from them. Thank you so much to all my students and I hope many more doses of "ecstasy" is coming my way...
