What makes you stressed?
– change– relationships– panic from overload– fear of looking foolish– not being good enough– fear of being caught/found out – conflict – not knowing...
Do something about it... And don’t • panic from overload – go back to your list of important. Go
and find someone and show them what you need help with • fear of looking foolish – recognise what you intend to achieve,
perhaps think about ways of faking the confidence • not being good enough – talk to someone about your
feelings/practice • Change – list what is going to change, keep clam and consider
the benefits • Relationships – be honest about what you want• Conflict – have a plan, you may need to back down or get
support. • fear of being caught/found out – own up get it over and done
with. Tell someone you trust first • not knowing... – do some more research, find out how your
teacher learnt about it
