[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 677677, member: 1550"] I am happy for you and hopeful for your son. But for me I never go anywhere that may not be fun with hope in my heart. I go with more of a calm these days and acceptance of whatever happens. That takes the pressure off of the event. This technique has worked best for me, whether it is a meeting with somebody, a visit with somebody, or a job interview. I force myself to leave the high/low emotions at home, even if I have to do guided meditation before I go to calm down, and try to leave my expectations at the door when I leave. When I can do it, and I'm not always 100% successful, my experience is usually better than it would have been had I built it up or dreaded it. It is part of my quest to live in the present moment. You can't predict how this wll turn out for your son, but you can anticipate the visit with happiness at seeing him...without any positive OR negative expectations. I know this may sound loopy so take what MAY be worthwhile and leave the rest ;) [/QUOTE]
