Good luck with your exciting interview!
I don't know if this will help your anxiety, but one thing I do is play Pretend It's Happening Right Now to give those bio-chemicals a place to go & do a practice run, so if it does happen your anxiety will have prepared you well.
I'm assuming you listened to your mama & have a bag packed. Are your keys where they should be? Is the car gassed up? Do you have your ID & Passport? If you had to leave the house in 30 seconds, could you do it?
Is there anything else you can do to make yourself feel safer? Breathing masks, water, food for a few days? So if the worst happens, you can care for yourself from the start.
All I know is that it'll happen, or it won't. You can't control what an author I love calls "God's business" so there's no point allowing your anxiety to be all up in God's head trying to run the universe, unless you can make it work for you by empowering yourself.
Hoping the best for you, even if I'm a stranger from afar. π
Oh wow, what a super caring response- thank you so much! π€
After posting this and having the amazing community walk me through their personal experiences with events like this, I am feeling so much better!
Thank you so much for the checklist! I am going to keep it all in mind! Luckily, most of those things ie: keys are always in the same spot. My car is a scooter which isn't much protection against debris or air pollution but it can get me where I need to go =D
My passport, that's another story since immigration has it right now, processing my visa so I will be stuck here either way I guess! Yikes!
I did just get my breathing mask today, thank goodness! That makes me feel leaps and bounds better!
I love that, "God's business" is not to be meddled with and I will just have to let what happens happen. My mom always told me "what will be, will be!" She's much better at living that philosophy than I am :P
Thank you so much for this message! I just needed this virtual hug to shake off the media's intensity!
You are wonderful!
