Learning to Drive

I'm learning to drive at the moment because it's something I need to do, especially to work (I live in the country) but I am absolutely hating it... I get such bad anxiety about starting the lesson, hours or even the day before it's due... makes me want to go and hide instead of doing it (and fyi, things like "you'll have so much freedom once it is done!" have been said ad nauseam). I've just booked my theory test as well...

:(

  • Hi- could you maybe focus on a reward for each driving lesson that you attend.  Choose something that you really like - I chose a bubble bath and every time I finished my lesson I had my bath with special bubbles that I chose for this occasion only!  Chose something you would like to be rewarded for attending each lesson. Focusing on that might also shift your focus off how awkward or difficult the lessons feel.  Try- I hope you can find something that will help you get your driving licence coz it will be worth in the end. I love my little blue car...... Picture your favorite colour car and it might spur you in a bit.

     Good luck
