Last week, our eldest participated in the Yamaha Piano Festival for the very first time. First thing in the morning he expressed to me that "mommy, I am nervous" Mommy's advice throughout the day: Boy, start now by switching the thought of "I am nervous" to "I am excited". Thoughts in our brain is contolled by us. If we tell ourself that we are nervous, we will. If we tell ourself that we are excited, we will be. Cos the brain depends on what we feed ourself. Just continue to replace I am nervous with I am excited. He did his best and did well 😍 Take control of what our brain is saying at the moment, so that we can focus on performing.
