Well done, Larry! Have my own red belt test in TKD looming in January, am dreading it (of course)... take pleasure in your success, and then...

To answer your question: the madness never ends. I half suspect that's one of the big reasons we do this stuff....

Good Luck Exile.
I will share a tactic I used - for what it's worth anyway. I just kept saying out loud over and over again. I am calm. I am relaxed. I would then take on the breathing of a calm and relaxed person and it would in fact bring me to a calm and relaxed place. Then from there, I would add in other phrases like; I am prepared, I am ready, etc.

Congrats on passing your test
Thanks, very much, for the kind thought, Larry...
I really do believe that this kind of deliberate self-reassurance works---I've done it a few times in the past, and without a doubt it helped---the trick is to remember to do it!! Thanks for the reminder. I am definitely going to try to practice that technique when the time comes.
