I can sometimes get pretty intimidated by changes and new situations. I can tend to let stress get to me until I get really sweaty and embarrassed about said sweatiness. But once you're stressed out, you've got to stress over being stressed! That's how stress works!
Lately I've just been having the following dialoge with myself:
Jackie's Inner Beyonce: You are Beyonce.
Jackie: I'm really sweaty. Are people going to notice how sweaty I am?
Jackie's Inner Beyonce: I don't think Beyonce would care about sweat. Beyonce would sashay into that room, shoulders back, hair blowing in the wind, and she would command attention.
Jackie: Well I don't want attention exactly, I just want to feel relaxed.
Jackie's Inner Beyonce: Look, Jackie, Beyonce? She's got confidence, and confidence keeps her relaxed. Just be Beyonce.
Jackie: Got it. I am Beyonce.
Jackie's Inner Beyonce: Okay, look, I know I said you were Beyonce, but that was more like a metaphor for confidence.
Jackie: No, no! I'm Beyonce! I'm going to sashay into that room and command someone to bring me a fan immediately. Then I'll scream "I AM BEYONCE" at anyone who stares at me for having sweat patties at nine in cool summer the morn.
Jackie's Inner Beyonce: ...I've created a monster.
Jackie: BE-YON-CE! BE-YON-CE! BE-YON-CE!
