I do worry even when it’s out of my control and I can’t do much about it. I also lack confidence and doubt my abilities. Sometimes I need some encouragement.
I’m not yet at the snow but before all achievement is opportunity & desire. I am taking the opportunity to go skiing at Falls Creek to improve my sit skiing and to have fun.
If I believe I can do it then I am half way there. Glass half full thinking. I believe that I can.
I do have fears but I can’t let the fear of something happen make nothing happen. I fear falling and injuring myself but I am also as prepared as I can be including wearing a helmet. I usually have a nervous drink of water before I am ready.
I reflect and share what happened at the end of each day. Not every day is good but there is good in every day. I acknowledge the good things. Don’t ruin a good today by thinking about a bad yesterday. It’s a new day with new possibilities. I can recycle yesterday’s victories,’I did it then, and I can do it now.’ I can do it because I have done it before. Slow progress is better than no progress. Progress is progress and it all adds to my experience.
My ultimate is to end my time away on a high. I believed I could so I did.
