[QUOTE="Alice G, post: 29680, member: 1160"] Hi [USER=1572]@Ren97[/USER] Not ridiculous in any way and thank you for being so brave to post this. I totally resonate with this. For me, I just knew in my heart of hearts that I had allowed my anxieties to get the better of me on my first scheme and I spent so much time worrying I didn't allow myself to enjoy the time I had on that first vac. Instead of going into my second scheme with the mindset of securing the TC, I went in there with the aim of enjoying myself and immersing myself properly in the experience. The moment I refocused and reframed my thinking I found things much more manageable. I didn't feel immediate dread upon getting work and foreseeing myself messing it up as I just focused on learning as much as I could and just simply doing my best without the incessant need to be 'perfect'. I think I just really consciously tried to relax and took the approach that whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger and if the TC didn't come, then it wasn't meant to be. I think having this mindset has been something which has generally helped me with rejection and has made me appreciate the setbacks call the more. Sorry for the monologue here but really hope this helps and please feel free to ask follow-ups on this, I truly am an open book where this is concerned and more than happy to share. [/QUOTE]
