The past few weeks I have been dealing with feelings of inadequecy or incompetence. I have felt that I can't keep up with school work, I've had performance anxiety at internship, and I keep mulling over mistakes on the baseball field, either my own coaching, or my son's. 

Each case has demanded perseverance and an attitude shift. I have had to push through situational anxiety and trust my Higher Power. During these times, over and over the concept of focusing on my thought and emotional processing rather than on the circumstances. I have had to  resist future predicting, past reviewing, and mind reading.

In the case of school, my security and ambitions self esteem were threatened. I get afraid that I can't be content if I have to wait to the last minute to do it due to family responsibilities. I think of myself as a slacker for not being on top of it. I have to practice and pray for acceptance and resist stressing myself.

In performance anxiety I have had been afraid to make mistakes in front of everybody. I have been afraid of what they think. I have had to resist this thinking, persevere through the learning process and turn my dependence to what God thinks.

I am now seeing improvement and feeling much more comfortable.
