New Perspective

It's funny how human beings can really NOT stay in any given emotional state for long -I'm really taking this from videos of Tony Robbins. They have to move on. My anxiety lasted only one evening/night, and then I moved on from it. It's not entirely gone, not by far, but I got tired about feeling anxious about what's coming and stored that emotion.

Now I'm mostly excited. Things look just as busy as they did yesterday, but I've changed my outlook on the work and thus changed my relationship with my work. I work well under pressure so what can be done? I put myself in tight spot, evidently. *Smi~le* It's more fun than it sounds.

See, I took all the small, particular things that have been holding me back (my fear of nobody coming to my Agel presentation, my fear over what my advisor might think about my Extended Essay) and set the situation so that it didn't matter whether I was afraid or not, I had to face it.

Sounds simple enough.

It was.

I just stopped thinking, and whenever the opportunity presented itself invited people to a presentation next thursday, afterschool. Note: I have not borrowed the room, nor prepared the material. Now, whether people come or not, that fear is irrelevant because the commitment has been made and now I simply must be prepared.

Anyway, did several things to make my life better today: got the missing math assignments, caught up on my extended essay, had a good time analyzing a poem by Robert Frost (The Road Not Taken), took a walk with my mom and got some eyes turning (and I noticed, which is a first), and well, of course, I got around to preparing my Agel presentation.
