Nervous But Excited

hello myLot! it's been awhile, hasn't it? I hope everyone is doing well. I'll be honest, I'm nervous today. I start training at a new job this afternoon. It's nothing like my previous jobs and stepping into the unknown like that is what makes me so scared. But there's a feeling of excitement, too! I've met some of my co-workers and everyone seems friendly, it feels very close-knit. Have you recently felt nervous about something new? Wish me luck!! picture from pixabay

Good luck! I think we are all a bit apprehensive when doing anything new to us.

I felt the same in March when I was working at a hotel! But here is the thing, this is not my country, so I felt more pressure on my shoulders! Then the pandemic started and I was jobless I just wished i stayed more to get used to it, hopefully they call me once the pandemic is over !

Starting a new job is always a bit stressful particularly if you have to learn new skills. Wishing you the best of luck.

Good luck with your new job! It's normal to be nervous and excited at the same time. I was like that when I was still working out there.

I'm trying to be more excited than nervous, but it's easier said than done
