Right? Our brains really know how to get in the way, don’t they? 😂

I never realised it until reading this but writing has done that for me. For some reason with writing I've been fine with "imperfect action", Ive been fine with sending stuff out in the world that I wasn't 100% ok with, especially on Medium where I didn't know anyone. It allowed me to play around and be imperfect and I learned that things turned out ok anyway. Writing has really been therapeutic in that way 🤔. Thanks for that insight!

I love this! Writing and podcasting have done this for me as well. They are a much lower stakes way for me to “lower the bar” on my standards than my day job. And it has been so helpful to have a place to do that.

yes exactly, lower stakes - it's not that I don't value this part of my life, I absolutely do - but there's something about this space that allows me to "practice". It's good to have a space where that is possible 😊

Action first, confidence later. I like that. That's how we start the confidence-competence loop. One step at a time.
