Reply to "I'm excited and scared - takedown in a week"

Sometimes I wake up anxious too!  Your pouch is really new, so its hard to know what will happen with it today.  The unknown is the scariest place to be!

One thing I do to help anxiety to ease up is to count my blessings.  What are all the good things that are happening.  Examples for today:  I got out of bed.  I slept through the night.  I was able to help my high school home schooler with his Chemistry. I got some laundry done. 

Sometimes I get down when I think too much about the negative and forget that there are some good things in a day.  Yes, I get it; sometimes you really have to search for the positive.  I'm not a "Polly Anna".  There a days when all I want to do is sit an cry too. But looking for the positives and being thankful for them does a lot to lift my spirits.

Hope this helps a bit!
