Getting anxious about what's about to come doesn't give any help. It will just drag you to the worst you wish never to happen.
Why did I say so? Because I experienced it last day and it was the worst. I wasn't able to write because of the feeling and emotion that's surrounded me. As much as I wanted to write but I can't. It's not because I don't want or I can't think of any topic. It's because I can't focus a thing. What happened keep on lingering on me and repeating again and again. And the fact that I am disappointed by the result I am slowly draining and lacking energy to do anything.
Being anxious is normal specially if we are about to do things that we don't know what will happened and things that we wish will turn out well. An example of this is an interview or application for a job. Feeling anxious is normal on those times but too much of anxiousness is not good. Why did I say so? Because it happened to me and I wish it never did.
What are those things?
Can't focus
I can't focus to whatever happening that moment. The question, my answer and the way how I deliver them. It was because I am too anxious and thinking too much that very moment.
Shaking
I was shaking all over. From hands to feet. It wasn't the shaking that comes out to create huge movement that is very noticeable but it's the shaking inside my nerves that consumed me. Eating me and all my body is sweating cold.
Stutter
When I talk I statter not a lot but it was very distracting. I knew that even the panel were feeling my nervousness even though we held the event in zoom meeting. I bit it would be disastrous if it is in person.
Mental block
I got mental blocked that very moment. I don't understand a thing about the question. And I don't know what and how to place my answers in a very correct way. And the worst thing took over the event.
How to avoid these feeling?
Deep breath
I would have done this from the very first moment that time or even in between it. But I guess I couldn't turn back time now. So, I just wanted it to share to you in order for the worst thing would not to happened.
Allow yourself to be in the moment
Be in the that moment of truth and allow yourself to be on it. Don't think any and don't overthink anything worst to happened. I wish I did this.
Focus
This would be the result if you do the first thing. Focus on what happened. Focus on yourself. Focus on the exact moment that you are facing. Don't think so much. Just Focus.
Be yourself
Try to be yourself. Don't be whoever you try to copy in order to get good results. To give impact. Just be yourself and you'll see things would go smoothly.
Acknowledge your weakness and let it become your strength
This one don't need an explanation. It is self explanatory and understandable. Make your weakness be your strength. Learn what it is and do something about it.
Closing thought
I can't easily move on to what happened. I know I could have done better. I know I am lacking. I know I lose myself thinking of the worst that is about to come. I was thinking too much and ahead of the things. I let negative things overpower thus it reflected.
I wish I could have done better I wish I did the things that would have avoided the worst. But things already happened and I couldn't turn back time. I guess I would just move on. And I guess I slowly, and painfully did. Slowly I write for me to let go of this feeling. And I hope I would, tomorrow or the order day.
I am writing this to you to not be like me. Don't let too much anxiousness took over and would ruin the opportunity that is knocking. I want you to pray and be confident. Take a deep breath and be yourself. Win over the anxiousness and you'll get what you wanted.
Thank you so much for reading. I appreciate you all. I love you 🥰😘
