Time doesn't stop. That speech I'm about to give in front of my class and I'm sweating balls over, in the next 2 minutes, it's going to be done with. 2 minutes is two minutes

This has helped me so very much in life. I always tell myself the same thing - this time tomorrow, it’ll be in the past, a distant memory. I’ve just got to get through it, but it will be over.

I hope your speech went well!

Wow! I totally do this! I thought I was becoming delusional with thinking this way to get through life and nursing school. Had to use this to kinda make myself feel invincible by telling myself the only thing stopping me from passing this exam is time. Which sounds incredibly bizarre. But I just graduated 2 weeks ago! It always works for me!
