Being nervous means this matters to you
Feeling nervous doesn’t mean you aren’t good enough or haven’t prepared. When something important is coming, your body gathers all its strength on its own: your heart speeds up, your breathing gets shallow, your focus tightens. That is your body trying to help you meet the moment. Being nervous shows that you care about this, and about doing it well.
In the Field Room, help your body slow down
Outside the Field Room lies a quiet field, with wind coming in from far away. Try breathing in slowly for four seconds, pause, then breathe out slowly for six, and repeat a few times. Or write on a bedside note the thing you are most afraid will happen, then one sentence about how you would take care of yourself if it did, and fold it away so it stays only on your device. Your nerves don’t have to disappear completely. You can carry a little of them and still get through it. If this kind of nervousness comes often, keeps you from sleeping, or makes you avoid a lot of things, it may help to talk with someone you trust or a professional.
No account, no name, and you can leave whenever you like.
