Stillness

I can only hope I have that strength and fortitude when my W and I have to clean out the house and all her stuff.

This board helped a lot. I guess I'm fortunate I kind of had a 'down' week in many ways - it reinforced my commitment to myself today.

I spent a good amount of time psyching myself up for this - the same way I might for an audition.

It was good to visualize myself having this experience and going through it, seeing myself tolerate the stress and be ok.

I don't think its realistic to expect that there will be no anxiety. But if you can predict the anxiety and how you will deal with it, I think you will be more successful than you might expect.
