"You Gotta Walk Big" and Other Advice From a 5 Year Old About Being Nervous

Wisdom from the mouth of a child.

Here's what Twitter user StressieBessie got from her 5 year old on the way to school, after she mentioned that she was nervous about a meeting that day.

He said, “Mama, I am nervous all the time. I know what to do.”

• “You gotta say your affirmations in your mouth and your heart. You say ‘I am brave of this meeting!’ and “I smell good!’ and you can say five or three or ten until you know it.”

• “You gotta walk big. You gotta mean it. Like Dolly on a dinosaur. Because you got it”

• "Never put a skunk on a bus”

• “Think about the doughnuts of your day! Even if you cry a little, you can think about potato chips!”

• “You gotta take a deep breath and you gotta do it again.”

• “Even if it’s a yucky day, you can get a hug.” 

Experts say there's a lot of sound advice in his words. Even though no one's quite sure where the skunk part comes in.
