Working notice / new job

Im currently working my notice before I start a new job and just looking for some tips really on how to not doubt myself / over think the change in this period?! Im excited about my new job opportunity but also nervous and I want to try and stop overthinking it so much! Does anyone else feel a bit strange during the working the notice phase?!

The thought of starting a new job is always unsettling.
You're going from doing something you know and have confidence in your abilities, to jumping into the unknown.
You know it'll take a while to find your feet and that makes you doubt yourself.
But, you'll be fine.

What if I can’t do the job? Or it’s a horrible place to work?! The last job change took me quite a while to settle into.

I took a good 6 months to feel totally at ease with the job and the team.
I thought I'd never not feel nervous every morning going in, but slowly and surely I relaxed into it.
Everyone's the new start at some point.
Everyone has had to learn the ropes and everyone knows the churning stomach feeling you have for a while.
Your workmates will all have been there too. 💐
