I’m ready for the Weekend.

It’s Friday nite, I’m ready to go to The Beach Boys concert. At least I can say I went to see them live. I can cross this off my bucket list. I’m not great with big ass crowds and very loud music. I will try to enjoy myself and use my coping skills and self positive talk when my anxiety kicks in. This will be a big test for me. God bless.

Wow marc the beach boys , fabulous..

I do hope you enjoy and I’m sure you will.

The thought of these things is often far worse than doing them.

You sound well prepared too..

Hope it goes well.

And you have a fabulous time, making wonderful memories to treasure 😊 x

Hi Olivia, for me thinking about the what ifs before i get there was the worst for me in the past. I try not to think like that and think about the fun things when get there. There were some moments sitting there I felt my anxiety slowly coming, with false physical symptoms, I easily closed my eyes breathe slowly and calm myself down with self positive talked without getting up and running away. I focused on the great music instead of my symptoms and it works. It was a fun concert. God bless.

I saw the Beach Boys 45 years ago! I'm surprised they're still standing up!

Good luck with the concert.

Yeah, they all looked like they were in there 60's and 70's. Watching them back then in there prime must have been fun.
