Busy day!!

Sitting here feeling my anxiety rise, trying to figure out how to make the perfect Spider-Man cake for my son's birthday , clean my house for guests make sure the house us all decorated ugh it's a lot , I always panic I won't get it done good enough why can't I stop the constant fear of failure and just be happy about the outcome!

In this instance your fear of failure is directly proportional to how other people will make a judgment and comment about your efforts. You already know that you will do the very best you possibly can for your son. Subjecting yourself to other people's opinions is giving them too much power over your life. You may well do something outstanding that makes other people jealous of your talent. Some people will admit this and some people will try to find faults with your efforts.. The important thing to realise is that praise and criticism are two sides of the same coin. Don't judge yourself by what anyone else says, good or bad, because you'll end up doing everything for another person's approval and criticism will have a very negative effect. Just do the best you can and KNOW you've given it your best effort. Good luck with everything and I hope your son has a really great birthday 🎂
