So, here is my confession. I took driver’s education twice. I failed it the first time.
I was too scared to get it right. I sailed through the book part, couldn’t pass the driving.
I got past it and have done fine driving down here. Even going from a small car to a large minivan. But lately, something has changed and I am back to always being nervous. I am always sure I am in the other person’s lane, even though any time I check I am right where I belong. I feel like I am always going too slow (though my recent ticket might tell a different story)…
I am just always scared. I know I have to get over it. Driving, and the traffic, are a fact of life. And I have done it fine for, ahem, many years. All evidence is that I am a fine driver…now to shut up the backseat driver in my head!
What are you suddenly afraid of? Or am I the only one that suddenly re-develops a fear?
Survive til you Thrive!
