      I signed up a few days ago and I keep opening the courses and then closing them again. I want this so badly and that somehow makes it scarier. Anyone else feel like everyone around them is more prepared and more sure?

      Sophie that is so normal it’s almost a rule. The confident ones are usually just hiding it better. Pick one short lesson and finish it tonight. Momentum fixes more fear than thinking does.

      The anxious ones often turn into the careful, thorough students. I was a wreck in first year. Still here, still standing, nearly done. You don’t need to feel ready, you need to start.

      Everyone on a real resus team was terrified their first time too. They just kept showing up until the fear got smaller. The ready feeling comes after you start, not before.
