I think I made it too monumental and that's something I promised myself I wouldn't do that at the beginning of the year. I made it too much of a win-or-lose situation.

I'm sort of like a Phoenix; I kind of rise from my ashes fairly quickly.

I actually was able to go out there like I own it. To take charge feels good.

I could say the pressure is what you put on yourself but I don't know. I haven't been looking at (worlds) that way. I've just been focusing on my practice and doing what I need to do to be comfortable.

I think I'm certainly capable of it. All I need to do right now ... is not let the fears crawl in, don't let my perfectionism take over and crowd my head space.

I rose at 4 a.m. after getting to bed at 10 p.m. I'm feeling that I seized up going into the axels.
