Ordering at GBK

I went to the Wimbledon GBK today and tried ordering 2 burgers with fries and drinks; we had vouchers!

I was speaking with a friend fluently for a long time before that but suddenly my sub-conscious came to play at the moment of giving the order; I had a long block, starred at the cashier a bit and somewhat struggled in producing some voice as a person who stammers does usually! How funny!

At the end my orders were taken and understood but the cashier frowned at me impatiently as she was perhaps rather surprised why on earth someone can’t order food easily!

Her reaction, my quality of communication and lack of preparation caused some sadness automatically.

After I finally wrote down my emotions honestly, analysed them and thought about them, I realized that I could help myself to recover much quicker.

I'm sure if you're a PWS, you have had a similar experience.

There were 3 main things that could help me get over it quickly:

1) If the cashier was more patient and had smile on her face.

2) If before going to the cashier, I had spent 2 minutes to prepare myself mentally and physically by:

* Reviewing and remembering the top speech techniques such as smiling, relaxing, breathing properly, projecting love, posture, etc.

* Reviewing my best strategy for every possible scenario that might occur.

3) If after the experience, I had immediately reminded myself the 2 golden rules of happiness:

* Focusing only on one positive action, thought and sentence.

* Taking care of my self-esteem: 1) self-acceptance and unconditional self-love 2) self-appreciation 3) seeing the potential

It's interesting to know that overwriting the subconscious to act with the right response and strategy takes time, practice and patience.
