This Saturday my hubs and I and our boys will be testing for our green belts in Karate, and I feel utterly unprepared. Our teacher (and friend) says otherwise, so forward I go.
Maybe I have never mentioned this before, but I seriously dislike being the focus of attention. Being in front of people is a huge challenge and my heart tends to race and my lip almost always starts quivering. Feeling unprepared only makes this worse.
My plan of attack for testing is this: pretend like I know what I am doing. Be strong in my moves and loud with my "kias". And with all this, try not to fall over or start crying. Maybe I can mentally be Jet Li.
Imagine that.
Lucky for me we get to out to lunch afterwards and I will be able to drown my insecurities in some food and fun. Always a plus!
I hope your weekend is filled with happiness and moments of confidence--and I hope mine is too! ;)
