First Day Jitters

Hello...

Now it's 11PM and I should be getting some sleep but all I can think of is how nervous I am for tomorrow...

Well today's post I want to talk about first time jitters. I believe I speak for everyone that we have at one point of time in our lives has had first day jitters. "Jitters" I guess it's a hippi way of saying "there are butterflies in my stomach". Jitters is not by far anxiety. Small nervousness that may be overcome, nevertheless it is still there and apparent.

Before I talk more about it, I should tell you what I am jittery about. Tomorrow is my first day of work at a new company! I am soooo jittery I cannot shut my eyes. I know I should be sleeping so I could get a good night well rested sleep, but I can't!

In my head multiple scenes are unravelling one at a time. For example, what if I went to work and somehow fall down flat on my face? Or if I am so nervous I might babble nonsense. Or if I went to work and my shoe broke. Or what if I was late? Or did I get the dates mixed up? Or what if my boss don't like me. Or what if my colleagues don't like me. Or what if I just think it's a bad mistake all together? What was I thinking leaving my comfortable safe zone job for a new one?

One by one these scenes and thoughts unravelling in my head, crowding my head and making me more and more jittery by the moment. But, I don't beat myself up about it. I know that the thoughts are normal thoughts that everyone will naturally feel when you have your first something. Because we want and hope the first day will be amazing and hit such a perfect note that by being perfect is the only way to go. Our expectations are as such that the first day might carve the perfect year or perfect beginning.  First day at school, first day doing your new year resolution, first day as a youtube, first day as a blogger, first day as a wife... there are so many first days that we will experience.

Wanting to have an amazing first day and expecting perfection is not wrong. Having jitters are not something to be worried about too. But we shouldn't let the jitters cloud our sense in experiencing a potential milestone in our lives.. don't you think so?

I believe when you are too nervous your energy will be directed to your ugly thoughts, which may or may not occur. However if they DO occur, always always ALWAYS have a good sense of humour about it. We are humans after all, and we tend do be clumsy or silly or act a little foolish sometimes.

As I know jitters are normal human feelings. And everytime I get my first day jitters I will try and calm myself down by doing the things that makes me feel happy. Having a chat with Mr always soothes me, playing phone games, getting lost in a good book, or just generally unwinding on my bed.

Now I am off to bed before I get panda eyes in the morning. Wish me luck!

Oh and incase you are going to experience your very own First Day.. I wish you all the luck in the world.

Nites..
