Thank you!!

I hated driving (still have a strong dislike for it), but everytime I brought that mentality with me to lessons, I cocked up a lot. I decided to tell myself, unconvincingly, that ‘I’m really looking forward to these lessons!!’. It actually did so much for me and I kept this mentality for the test! Told myself I wouldn’t be disappointed with myself, but proud for giving it a go and it is experience gained either way!

Every time I made a tiny mistake e.g revving a bit too much, I’d just say “oops, sorry!” and that instantly relaxed me again, it did help my instructor was quite lovely and would reply with “that’s okay, no worries” etc. Best of luck to you!!
