1. BE PROUD. Go there feeling PROUD of what you're doing, no matter the level you're at!! You're trying to do something worthwhile whether it is for a hobby, a career, a creative outlet, a feeling of community. THAT'S JUST AWESOME. So do not for a moment go there feeling inadequate! Let's all go there and just feel good about what we are trying to do & feel good about our desire to improve. :)
2. WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER. Each one of us is just trying to make a positive difference in some way. It will be great to all be there together cause we're all working on the exact same goal. Everyone there will be our friend in that way. We're all in the same boat. Some people have just been in that boat longer.
3. NO NEED TO COMPARE. Every single person has something unique to offer! I wouldn't dream of [being a health teacher] like anyone [else] as it just never could be. We can only share what we have.
4. THINK OF OTHERS INSTEAD OF OURSELVES. Instead of thinking of - - What will *I* say when I meet people? How will *I* be able to survive this presentation? Let's think about how we can make others comfortable & help them. Let's think about how we can share friendship & kindness or generosity with others & take the focus off of ourselves. We'll have a much greater experience if we do.
