Okay, I have thirty minutes to release all my feelings before I have to contain myself and become a professional again. I’m a real estate agent and I’m currently working with a property conveyancer to help our mutual client sell their family home. I’m a young woman in the industry and I’m just making my way in the world, which is really exciting but also nerve-wracking.

My current issue is that the conveyancer I’m working with is just so attractive! He wouldn’t be any more than three years older than me, and when I locked eyes with him, I literally swooned. I feel so inappropriate which is why I’m trying to get all my feelings out in this blog post so that I can act professionally when I see him and our client in twenty minutes’ time. He’s seriously got to be the most attractive conveyancing professional around the Mentone area. It’s so distracting. 

Okay, I’m going to hold myself together from now on. There’s no way I’ll ever be taken seriously as a real estate agent if I just act like I have a crush on every man I work with. Although, something about him really is different. His confidence when he starts getting clients to sign contracts and the way he holds himself during negotiations genuinely makes me swoon. 

Ah! Pull it together Jenny. Stop thinking about him finalising the conveyancing and settlement. It’s going to drive you crazy.

I have three minutes now to pull my head in. I’m going to do some deep breathing and a really quick mindfulness exercise and then do my job like the capable woman that I am. I’m not going to let a silly crush distract me from being the best that I can be. I’m here to achieve my professional goals and I can’t do that if I’m thinking about Kenny the entire time. Besides, he probably doesn’t even like me back… unless he does?
