Many phone calls start with I have never done it before. I want to travel but but but. How do you get over ‘the never done it before’ bit. Think about the other ‘never done it before’ situations you conquered:
First coed dance ( camp? church? school?), you stood in the back, concerned about not getting a partner or worse, having to dance with a partner!
The worst is first appointment with a gynecologist. We all survived that.
First day of college. My nightmares was a newly wed and in a big lecture room in Graduate School. The professor called on Mrs. Stoller. I looked around for my mother in law. It was a first ever been called Mrs. before. Answering in front of a 300 seat lecture room was terrifying. I did it decently not well but survived.
First night in your first grown up apartment or house? Every noise was a burglar. You survived or would not be reading this article.
First day at first real job? Everyone seemed experienced and busy. You dressed too well. You ate lunch alone. You survived.
