I Appreciate the Little Things In Life
👍😂So, today my 8 year old’s advice helped me push through my public speaking anxiety to give a presentation. I can’t wait to tell her about it once she gets home. 😂👍 Kidfo gets anxiety when she feels under pressure. It’s hard for me as a parent to watch her be so hard on herself, and it’s challenging to cheer her up/get things back on track once she’s stressed/upset. Last few yeah no lessons did not go well, but Sunday’s piano lesson went great. Afterwards while praising her for doing such a good job, her effort/progress etc, and keeping such a positive attitude I asked her what she thought was different about today?
She explained to me that before the piano lesson started this time she told herself repeatedly, “This will be easy “, and so when things got rolling it already felt like it was. I told her how impressed I was with her positive self talk, and happy I was for her that it helped. 🌞
So.. flash forward to today. Here I am trembling in my desk, heart racing, feel like I’m going to vomit when her words popped into my head. I start repeating to myself, “This will be easy”, which... helped me calm down, and grit through it relatively smoothly 😂💜. Thanks Kiddo 👍
