Commitment

Do you ever feel like you’re gambling by committing to a social event or activity?

I’m planning a ski day with my kids tomorrow and I feel like I’ve set myself up for a gamble; will I be OK to go in the morning, will I have an aura attack while on the hill, how much money is at stake in the instance that I’m not OK to go, or carry on through the day? I try not to think of all the what-ifs but my mind races.

Am I alone in all this pre-event worry?

The more I see, the more I think I might not be alone. I suspect the stranger(s) who sit next to me on the chairlift tomorrow might have similarly fear-inducing experiences before ending up there, beside me, on the side of a mountain on a beautiful morning in January. If you too, are struggling, how do you cope?

My fingers are crossed for tomorrow ~ for me and for you; wishing us all well and hoping to have a great mid-winter day.
