Feel and understand the thing
Nervousness before taking such a huge step is completely normal. On the other hand, the feeling of leaving everything behind and pursuing dreams alone in a place that is totally alien to you. Therefore, you must understand the root cause behind this feeling and make sure to pamper yourself. However, don’t try to suppress this feeling, instead, make sure to express and feel it to the core. Why? Because they are meant to be felt and released. Therefore, they are called temporary visitors.
Fear and excitement are two different sides of the same coin
Yes, fear and excitement are two different sides of the same coin. Does it make sense? Well, let us explain. We are always telling our minds a story and we have the full responsibility and power to change it. Hence, instead of telling yourself that you are nervous, flip it to that “OH MY GOD! I AM SO EXCITED! THIS IS WHAT I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR ALL MY LIFE!” Have full confidence (not overconfidence, stay grounded) and let the excitement dominate the fear.

Do something you love
