To echo the above, take some time off to relax. This industry is full of checkrides and checking events, and everyone has their own way of dealing with the pressure of them. (I went to the gun range and popped off rounds while reciting flows in my head)


The minute flying stops being fun for you, especially as a career CFI, you're doing yourself a huge disservice. Always enjoy what you do. Like love2av8 said, you have good days and bad days, but the bad days should be few and far between.

Enjoy it, go with the flow, we've all had that nerve-racking checkride at some point. Instrument is a whole new ballgame, especially for a relatively fresh private pilot, but it's also some of the most fun flying you'll do in my opinion.
