Being a beginner: judgement, perception, mistakes & your comfort zone

I started today's episode with a recount of a situation that made me feel like a complete beginner, fearful of judgment in public and all that. It inspired me to make this and discuss the influence that fear of perception and judgement can have on us. How its easier to have the mindset that mistakes are part of the process and most of the time the worst case scenario you imagine is more than survivable. And most of the time you don't have any proof that someone is judging you so it's only a disservice to yourself to stress about what they're thinking. Starting something new is hard because you have to step outside of your comfort zone but it's great because then your comfort zone expands, and it's okay if you need a bit of support in expanding it. What counts is that you're valuing yourself and your life enough to start something new and value the growth that you can get from it. The only way you'll get to where you want to be is by starting.
