Afraid of yet another failure

I start a new job on Monday. I am terrified that I will fail. I cannot take another setback. I have been through too much crap in the past year and I need for something to be a success!!!!!!!

How exciting TC!! You have the opportunity for a fresh start and the chance to make 2016 outstanding.

Just be careful not to put too much pressure on yourself. You will be a bit nervous -- that's completely acceptable for a first day. You may feel overwhelmed because there are lots of new things to learn and most likely lots of information thrown at you. As don Miguel Ruiz says in "The Four Agreements," just do your best.

What steps are you taking to ease your anxiety and help make your first day successful?

Hi TC,

I sure can relate to what you are feeling. I have quite a few crappy jobs under my belt as well.

It sure is hard to unplug from past experiences and hope for the best.

I also find being positive and suspending all judgement an exercise but sometimes it is necessary to put a smile on my face in order to fake it until I make it!

We don't know what your new job will be like but there is such a thing as hoping and praying.... And letting go and letting God.

Good luck to you....

I know, the first day of a new job can be scary. I too am scared of experiencing another setback since I have had a lot in my life. After you get through the first day, it get more comfortable at work.

    You may recall I write that my sister and he husband were in an affair with my brothers wife. It's been almost a year. Mom last week asked me to invite my sisters boys to a birthday at my house for my brothers daughter. I was on my way to pick up the boys when my mom called and told me to turn around. Apparently my brother didn't know my nephews were coming and he was livid. I came home to a...
