Kickball Tuesdays

For the past 3 weeks, Tuesdays have brought me more anxiety than anyone could possibly imagine. The reason why is just as silly! Kickball Tuesdays, of course. Combine playing on a team where I know /knew 2 people (to start) & a game that I have no skill at & you get one anxiety driven woman.

Last night's practice couldn't have come at a better time! 

Today was our fourth kickball game & thankfully, we won! And we had a great time doing so! Today I didn't wake up with anxiety (Thank God) and barely thought about the game until I was on my way there. I prayed that I wouldn't be as terrible as I have been the three weeks prior. Thankfully, today I was a help to my team! Only one person was able to call me out on what my problem was :: I've been so afraid of being the reason my team loses that I couldn't focus on playing. That and the lack of skills, of course.  We covered that before, though. 

Today, I was reminded to play like I did in practice & to have fun.  I did both. I was a help to my team, finally, and had great 1st & 3rd base coaching going to get me around & home. 

It felt so abnormal to not stress about the game today, but I didn't. Well, when I was fielding 3rd base I stressed a bit, because again, I didn't want to make a stupid mistake & cause a huge error. But, overall, I'm glad I did my best, helped my team & simply enjoyed myself.
