Fear of starting

Butterflies flutter in your stomach. You ring your hands anxiously. Legs bouncing in your chair. You can’t focus. Confidence plummets.

You CANNOT get started. What if I don’t do it right? What if I don’t really understand the problem properly? The material makes no sense? What is this about? Why am I doing this? It won’t be correct.

Shhhh, voices. Just start, fingers. Follow along, brain. Repeat. You may not feel better about it tomorrow, but the day after, you might.

Just BEGIN.
