Highs and lows

A big part of any decision is the roller coaster of emotions you go through:
Is this the right decision?
I can't wait!
What was I thinking?!
This is going to be the Best decision of my life!!
How do I get out of this?!

We've definitely been having our mis-givings followed by the insane urge to start packing at 11pm. I even had a weekend where the enormity of the decision hit me like a brick and I was in a fuzzy haze for 72 hours..not sad, not angry, just deep in thought. But luckily I snapped out of it and things got exciting again! As I said, it's a very weird feeling and both of us have had and still have our highs and lows.
I personally go from "wow there are so many new opportunities out there, it's like a fresh start!" to "yep, I'm definitely not going to be able to find a job and this will suck"...Thinking positively is the hard part for sure. The second I hear a horror story I put myself in the situation. Sure, I'm not a Malaysian prostitute/house cleaner that got caught and thrown in prison..."but what if it happens to me?!" Got to love the brain and it's complexities!

Basically, keep thinking positive thoughts, but also be prepared when you get the shock that it's not exactly how you thought it would be.
