What is ‘over your head’ but just another way to say it is something you have not yet learned?  When you find yourself in unfamiliar surroundings with new experiences it is merely a fresh opportunity to learn.  However, if you allow your conception of it to distort, it becomes an obstacle and the more you consider it in the light of the fact that it is something you don’t know, the more insurmountable it becomes.  By becoming preoccupied with examining your knowledge, or lack of it, you are actually eroding away your own ability to handle your circumstances by doubting yourself.

You need to be operating from a static base within which you can remain calm and secure.  The only thing which continues with you, regardless of familiarity or prior exposure, is yourself.  That is what defeats you; that is what must sustain you.  The condition is actually created by you, how you deal with it is up to you.  If you are secure in your ability to handle yourself, you can master any situation, and, as long as you know you can handle a situation, you remain in command.

No circumstance is beyond your capability until you think it is.  As soon as you feel inadequate, you begin to hesitate, your hesitation causes you to loose some of your mastery, which reinforces your feelings of incompetence, increasing the uncertainty, and you’ve lost.
