0:00.0	Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern time on serious XM.
0:10.0	I'm 11. Kelly, welcome to the program.
0:13.0	Thank you, Dr. Laura. I told my husband I need to talk to sports psychiatrist and today it dawn on me that you're the one I need to talk to.
0:22.0	I have a very demanding physical trip that's starting in two weeks and I'm scared to death and I want you to give me a mantra to get my head right.
0:37.0	What is it that you're doing that you're scared of?
0:41.0	I'm climbing to the Mount Everest base camp. Why? Why?
0:47.0	Because it's a hike. It's not a climb. It's just a hike. I wouldn't call it okay. It's a hike. Okay. The first base camp. All right.
0:58.0	Yes, it's all it's under 18,000 feet. It is not something that takes a lot of skill. I'm going with a very reputable company. It's a family trip.
1:10.0	And I'm so nervous about it that if I talk about it, I cry.
1:15.0	Well, how far can you run without sucking in air and having to sit down?
1:22.0	Well, I'm not a runner. I just the stairmaster for 30 minutes, five times a week. I've been working with a trainer all year.
1:34.0	And she says I'm ready. I'm just freaked out.
1:40.0	What do you freaked out by?
1:47.0	It's going to be really hard and I'm not an athlete. I'm freaked out by the unknown.
1:54.0	But you start, stop, start, stop, and then you'll eventually get there. Everybody will toast everybody, eat too much nonsense and you'll come down the mountain.
2:04.0	Yes. That's exactly right.
2:05.0	Have you done things at heights? You know, the oxygen levels?
2:10.0	Yes, not that high, obviously. But as we go to the mountains very often and maybe twice in 20 years, I've had a headache.
2:18.0	I do not have altitude issues.
2:20.0	Okay.
2:21.0	If you stay very high, well, I don't understand what you're afraid of that you won't make it that you'll embarrass yourself. What are you afraid of?
2:36.0	Yes.
