How to banish "new job" nervousness?
No Way Jan
Starting a new part-time job next Tuesday. I feel a little unsettled about this although it is a bit ridiculous really - I have had many, many jobs in the past 30 odd years, but I have not had a job for a while now so will be a wee bit rusty. When I think about it though I always felt this way before starting each new job, and just accepted it. Perhaps tomorrows dental appointment is aggravating the situation; not looking forward to that! Any suggestions on how to better relax? I've been out looking to buy some fresh new clothes but have not found anything I really like either (but then again it's mid winter)!

Count the number of times, if you can, when you have been a nervous wreck about deciding what to wear to a party. Was it worth the worry? If you were concerned about being overdressed then you were probably the center of attraction because you were 'different.' Or alternatively, nobody cared anyway. What about the times you have been worried about arriving late for a dinner or an appointment only to find that the hostess wasn't ready anyway or the other person was late? I don't advocate being late, but once you are, there is precious little you can do about it, so why worry. Make the most of it with positive thoughts. Instead of worrying about it, make up a good excuse. The positive person is the one who has fallen into the ditch but always comes up 'smelling of roses.' |
