Today's challenge involved going to a friend's birthday party. How could going to a friend's birthday party be a challenge? When you are a chronic worrier and have an active imagination, it is definitely possible to think that you might fail while going to a birthday party.
What if I don't have fun? What if there's so many people that there's nowhere for me to sit, and I start to feel claustrophic? What if I'm not in a good mood and have a terrible time? What if no one REALLY likes me and they don't want me to be there? (that last one was the result of a kind of emo week)
I sucked it up, got out of bed, and went to the party despite all of these worries and fears.
Result: I had a GREAT time! And all of these worries and fears of failing by not having fun at the party did not come to manifest as true.
I am silly.
