have more confidence in myself

low self-esteem :(

For whatever reason – either by divine will or some fluke of scheduling, I recently ended up working in the Blood Bank for five days straight. Usually we rotate in a number of departments (Chemistry, Microbiology, Urinalysis, etc.) so you never have to endure the stress of Blood Bank on a permanent basis.

Those five days were probably the worst five days I’ve worked at my job. There have been so many critically ill patients lately. The ER was hopping and the OR was hopping and everybody needed blood. One night I must have run up and down the stairs to the OR 30 times – the second I would get back upstairs they would call again for more blood products. Everything was stat and critical and life or death…I thought my head was spinning so much it would just fly off into the sky like a balloon.

The one good thing to come out of this? Experience. And a certain mental “toughening” that comes with enduring awful nights like that. Whatever is thrown at me from now on – I know I can deal with it. It was an awful time to live through but I know it has made me a better tech in the end.

Through not caring what other people thought of me, I have earned a great deal of confidence in myself over the past weeks. Two birds with one stone. :)

I hope to achieve more confidence in my abilities. I find myself way too often trying to 1up my efforts. I need to learn to have confidence in my abilities already. Otherwise I won’t be able to perform at my peak.

Has improved since the last time i wrote about driving and I am happy :) Has been practising visualization techniques and typing notes on the steps mentioned by my instructor and it helped me to remember when I was on the roads :)

Although I can finally drive on the roads, I always get panicky and worried that my instructor would scold me. He is very good at teaching the skills but becomes very frustrated and impatient whenever I make a mistake. It is very stressful driving and my practical test is coming up.. Sigh.. Whenever I drive, I am so preoccupied with what is the next step and sometimes fail to listen to the instructions from my instructor…Really disappointed with myself.. Wonder what can I do to increase my confidence in driving..

value yourself – the only people who appreciate a door mat are people with dirty shoes!

i want to be more confident in myself… i know some girls think im cute but i never have the confidence to talk to any of them.
