Welp, that's me tonight. 2.5 hours or 150 minutes of listening to music. I'm going to try to practice being present, part of me thinks I'm jinxing myself by even talking about it in a positive light. But that's what I'm going to do.
Does anyone else get excited for a concert or something similar, than on the day of get cold feet and nervous? What are tips you do in a situation like this?
Hugs to all y'all

I can promise you that you will completely immerse yourself in that concert. We went to TSO last year, and omg it was absolutely AMAZING. You will LOVE the show!!
You were right. I was overwhelmed in line with a ton of other people but I figured on e i sat down i would love the show.
Absolutely! Seems like more apprehension about going to the venue rather than the concert itself. I wish you could take us all with you! Sounds wonderful and so uplifting! Let us know about it after you go!
Breathe dom....perfect chance after the lights lower to find that
quiet place within yourself to breathe and enjoy the music.

I do!! I am so excited prior and then the day of I am just a mess. Some things I do are: dress in layers, I know if I get overheated it won’t end well. Wear comfortable supportive shoes. Hydrate and eat balanced meals prior. I also make sure to grab a water while there. I usually try to bring some sort of granola bar or something with me to either leave in the car or have on hand inside if needed. Lastly I take an essential oil, or beaded bracelet (that I can fidget with if necessary). Lastly, I try to stay present like you said. Oh and I tell myself that I can always leave if I really need to. All will go well. You’re going to have a great time! Enjoy!
Wow I do so many of the same things! Were both smart. Keeping a snack and water is a must. I love the essential oils bracelet. that's a great idea. What is your favorite smell?
Oh gosh so many! I do not like the smell of roman chamomile, but I feel that it really relaxes me if I am nerved up. What is your favorite oil?
I just ordered a bracelet for the oils
You’ll like it!! I wear mine a lot. 😃
I used to get so anxious going to events - the crowd was one of my triggers I think. If we were high up I would feel nauseous. Now I just try to stay mindful of the event and importantly the people I’m with - I do still close my eyes & breathe deeply if I feel overwhelmed! Enjoy your event/ I’m sure you’ll be happy you went !
We were really high up and evertime my mind started pulling in a direction I didn't like I took a deep breath and reminded myself to stay present and I deserved to have fun and relax. I think the beer also helped
All the time!!!! I've been to many of their concerts and they are fantastic. I thought I was the only one with the excited then major doubt about going thing
You are so lucky! I hope you’re having a great time
It is an amazing show. My husband and I went two years ago. I would like to go again. I have RLS which played up during the performance so I walked over to the handicap area and stood. I try very hard to keep doing things I have always done. It's not always possible, but I refuse to give up any more joy than I have to. Have a lovely night with your family. Pam
Thanks Pam it was an amazing event.
So glad you made it through.
I saw them once. Awesome show!
