Hi Mat!
Thanks for starting a journal on this program! I have been thinking about trying SC out as well, and seeing that you're going to start your own journal just encourages me to think more seriously about starting the program myself. I completely sympathized with what you were saying about anxiety and need of approval. I just started a new job, and I'm finding my self confidence fluctuates a lot. Sometimes I'm so afraid of messing something up, or not meeting someone else's standard that it actually holds me back from doing certain things in fear of failure. That's lack of self confidence on my part. I think we all need to realize, hopefully with the help of these subs, that we are all very capable human beings who don't need the approval of others in order to thrive. That's a lesson I keep learning over and over, but it takes time to stick. Thanks for chiming in, and I look forward to hearing about your results!
