Does it need to be done? Does it need to be done in that location, with that method and level of effort, with those supplies? Is the end goal important enough to bother to work toward? Are there easier paths to the same goal? Are there other goals that provide similar results?

If you could do it the way you've been socially programmed to expect yourself to be able to do it, you would be doing it that way already.

When you try new things, you open yourself up to discovering more about who you are and what you’re capable of. Sometimes, you might fail or make mistakes, and that’s completely okay! It’s took a while for me to understand but I’ve been following something I once heard, which is; “Failure isn’t the end, it’s a stepping stone that helps you learn, improve, and get stronger.” Every time you try something new, you gain confidence and resilience, even if things don’t go perfectly. It’s okay to be temporarily embarrassed but pushing past that shows growth. Plus, you might find a passion or talent you never expected, something that could bring joy and meaning to your life.

It’s also worth remembering that everyone feels nervous about new experiences at first. YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE!!! Even people who seem confident were once beginners who had to take that first step. So, when you feel that fear or hesitation, try to remind yourself that it’s just a sign you’re about to grow. Take a deep breath, be patient with yourself, and go for it! The more you try, the easier it gets, and the more amazing things you’ll discover about yourself and the world around you. You might surprise yourself in ways you never imagined!

Went to see the Stray Kids Movie as I had to make sure two Stays got home safe. Was quite fun!

They even tried to teach me all the names and faces beforehand (I managed the names but am very bad with faces).
