Pausing rather than backwards

Due to the usual lack of sleep and headache I wasn't able to get anything done yesterday, but I am trying hard not to think of it as a backwards step but to think of it as a small pause in my recovery.

Despite taking sleeping tablets still having trouble getting to sleep which does not help my headaches or depression. Unlike many things the harder you try to sleep the less likely you are to succeed. 

Despite still feeling lousy when I woke up this morning I managed to get up ad do a few things around the house before going for a driving lesson. Really surprised myself that despite stalling twice on a roundabout, got the clutch and brake mixed up, I didn't let it get to me which in previous lessons I would have done. This is particularly good as I have my driving exam soon, I am trying to take the attitude that I am going to try my best but if I fail it is not the end of the world. This is going to be really hard for me to do, as I want to get things right first time, and it is really hard to learn that this isn't always possible.
