My conversation with self...
It's ok to be nervous, to be uncertain, to be uncomfortable.  It has been 9 years since I was the new person in a position and 20+ years since I was the new person.   

I would be lying If I said I've slept well since picking up my new assignment.  It's been a long time since I've had to learn a completely different job.  Real talk,  I've had a lot of nervous energy which has resulted in many nights with only 2-3 hours of sleep.

The good news is, I don't scare easily and I'm not built to run away from any challenge.  I’m confident that long term, we/I will exceed our/my goals, but short term, it's been a gut check.

I'm thankful for the opportunity to learn something new and challenging.  I'm thankful for the opportunity to be nervous and uncertain.  I'm thankful for the opportunity to be vulnerable and humbled.  I'm thankful for the opportunity to continue to learn and be developed.

I will remain positive despite the challenges.  Forward leaning despite the uphill climb and I will remain thankful for the many opportunities entrusted to me.
Have a great Wednesday! 

Stay safe!
