This will be tough! I just started working and now, in my second week, I am extremely nervous and eager to do everything right. This obviously isn’t possible. So now I really have to force myself to stay calm and not to start this vicious circle of thinking about what I did wrong at work and feeling guilty about it.
Today, after a very stressful day, I almost got into a car accident. It would have been my fault, but, to my defense, I didn’t know the street and it was a confusing situation. Luckily, nothing happened. Instead of being happy that nothing happened and feeling relieved, I just feel guilty and I can’t stop beating myself up about it. This is is stupid. I am a very careful driver and I haven’t had an accident ever. So, I should let myself of the hook, learn from the situation and move on. I’ll try to get into this mindset!!! 19 months ago
