Thank You WhiteFeathers, Amy and Maia
Amy what an amazing story and grateful to hear today.
Way to go taking care of the Bee’s and Ants on your own! That’t no easy feat!
It’s true we can only control ourselves.
I am the only one who can make me happy.
Today I have to take my car to the garage that just did maintenance on it and let them hear a noise that just started. This is after they did preventive maintenance. It is going to take a lot to stand up to them. It may or may not be their fault but it’s too coincidental. Tomorrow I have to take it to Honda to have 3 recalls fixed. I don't want the garage to say it was Hondas fault. I am so afraid I am going to be taken advantage of, or humiliated. It is going to take all I have to “act" calm. (What is going on inside will be much different then what I hope they see. At times like this I stutter, lose words, visibly shake and the anxiety escalates to panic.)
To overcome my Panic and SA I will have to face this. (no, I choose to face this)
I will have to stand tall, speak clear and slow, breath deep.
I am also practicing visualization. I am picturing the whole scenario going calm and everything working out well.
These are new coping skills put to action
New learned behavior
Wish me luck
