I spend way too much time in my head. Whenever I go to a new mountain I instantly freak, OMG where is the easiest trail, where does that chair go, where's the trail map. I try and calm myself down but it doesn't always work. We were headed up the chair at Mont Sutton in Canada when we rode up with the off duty mountain ambassador and she offered to take us around . Nice gesture right but OMG there goes taking my time and finding a nice green to go down. Deep breaths and having the ambasador woman watch me ski and give me some compliments and I felt better. She took us down some blues and greens and it was all good. Same thing though when we went to 2 of the other mountains in Quebec, anxiety of where does that chair go, must have an easy way down, etc but it was better cause it was just DH and I.
I also am very nervous about Diva East because I have never skied with a bunch of people before and worry about everyone thinking I am a terrible skier. I also worry about being able to keep up with everyone, I want to go down cruiser runs and fun blues but what if we go on a black, what if, what if, what if......
Basically I need to go on Xanax or carry a nip with me to shoot at the beginning of each day to calm me down and get me out of my head. The reality of it all is I am a decent skier who has worked very hard on getting better these last 2 years but I get in my head and well its a terrible thing.
I try to take deep breaths and think zen happy yoga thoughts, I listen to music, talk myself through things but I was wondering if anyone else goes through this or if I'm just a special kinda gal.
