Taking My First Solo Drive: Small Wins on the Road

Today I took a big step and drove around my neighborhood all by myself for about 20 minutes. I even braved the car wash solo! Tomorrow, my plan is to drive to work alone and have my mom follow me home—just taking it one step at a time. My new driving buddy, a stuffed animal, keeps me company and helps calm my nerves. Update: I made it to work and back by myself! My anxiety was manageable, thanks to my favorite playlist, deep breathing, and positive affirmations like, “You are safe, and you’re doing great.” If you’ve just started driving alone, what helps you feel more confident?
