You will be alright
You are about to go into an important meeting
is your first day in your new job or in a new city
The emotions are real
The feeling of “butterflies” in the belly is present
The heart is moving fast
The hands are sweaty
The racing of the mind
You realize what is happening inside
The thoughts are moving fast
The “what Ifs” cross your mind
You remind yourself”
“You can control the pace”
You straighten your posture
You feel your breath
You notice the movements as you inhale
Your feet supported on the floor
Your back straight and tall
You exhale and let go
You smile
You know
It is time
And you will be alright
