What is it, ex-act-ly, that makes a new job so stressful? Is it the fear of not being qualified for the job? If that was the case, then you wouldn't have been hired.. Theoretically. Is it the annoyance of buying suitable work clothes? The fear of buying the wrong type of work clothes & appearing out of place? Is it pre-stress; as in, stressing about being stressed later for having less time in your schedule due to the new job? Is it fear of the unknown? Is it fear that the job won't be worth your time? Is it fear that it will take time from your highest priorities? Or the unease that your "highest priorities" are being pushed out of the way for a need for money & social support? Or is it stressful just to realize you're stressed & you can't fix it because there are too many factors out of your control?
I think all of those questions contribute to why a new job is stressful. Now I'm going to have to find a way to neutralize them. Force my brain not to perceive these things as stressful. Can that last through a change in emotion, though? Because if not, there's not point in "fixing" it, if it's just going to come undone as soon as a new state of emotion or change in perception toward the situation occurs.
Hmmm..
