I got the anxieties about starting work next week. I'm trying to reframe it as "excitement", focus on the paycheck, work my wage, it will be gooooooood. I'm fine!
yup, think of the rewards πΈ
Not struggling to pay almost 2k in rent, a driver's licence, I can buy name brand coffee again! The future is limitless
Try and refame it. Its not anxiety, its your body's ignition sequence for something you've never done before or haven't for a while.
That is w good way to reframe it! It's just creating adrenaline in preparation!
Prepare to be mega exhausted for a few weeks while you adjust. It will get better βΊοΈ
Oh yeah for sure, I'm just gonna take it easy during the adjustment period!
