[QUOTE="atatbl, post: 416508, member: 12890"] You are stressing it too much, but that is also exactly how I got through it. I would guess that is how you normally handle things like this, that is definitely the case for me, so I can empathize with that. You will look back and say "None of the things I worried about even ended up mattering." Regardless, they are not taking you out of this position because you need help. You have already run the route with a normal load and finished by yourself. You are way ahead of the game. I would be willing to bet that tomorrow all you are going to think about is needing help. If it gets bad enough it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy. This is a hard job. Forget about the end of the day. To put this in perspective: you are stressing about something you really can't control! I know this seems illogical, but it's not. Furthermore, the more time you think about this during the day the less effective you will be on the job. Do yourself a favor tomorrow and EVERY SINGLE TIME you find yourself thinking about whether or not you will need help think about one of these things: your next delivery, your next pickup, who you want to date on your route. Do this the first second some crap about needing help comes into your mind. I am serious, it worked for me. If you can keep it work related (not the women) it helps even more. The point is not to stress for no reason. Only use this practice while delivering or out of vehicle. While driving, the first second some useless negative thought comes into your head check one of your mirrors and then continue scanning ahead while driving. <---- Like you should be doing anyways, but assuredly you are not if you are thinking about other things. I always thought "mirror" right after I started to think about something negative. It took a little while, but in two weeks time I would automatically practice something from the 5 seeing habits as soon as I was thinking about something I shouldn't have been (i.e. you should only be thinking about safe driving, when driving). This is quite a cluster-**** of thoughts I just typed out, but take from it what you will. Hope it helps. In two weeks, you will be praying to God that no one refreshes this thread because you will be embarrassed in a weird way that you ever thought this way. Trust me, that's a good thing. And I will be refreshing it BTW, :happy-very:. [/QUOTE]
