damn, give yourself a chance!

of course you aren’t that good at that yet, fam — 

this is your first time engaging in the activity! 

why are you expecting perfection? 🤔

how does the thought of getting it right on the first attempt serve you?

what exactly does it prove

in case you forgot: this 👏🏾 is 👏🏾 your 👏🏾 first 👏🏾 time👏🏾 ! 

your first time is a “let me see what this thang’s talkin’ ‘bout”  experience, not a “woe is me, i ain’t shit” moment. 

change your mindset. 

undo all the pressure you’re putting on yourself to perform at a certain level + give yourself space to find your footing. 

the next time you give this a go, you’ll have more experience. 

it’s not gonna get better until it gets better,

which means you’ll have to keep attempting + keep tweaking along the way to see some type of progress. 

the experience you’re looking for, that perfection, comes with actually doing it over + over again, sis.

focus on what you can do now: improving your attitude. 

you are doing your best.

lead with that. 

damn, give yourself a chance!

you’ve never done this shit before + you’re doing it now.

it’s the courage you’ve shown in doing some shit you’ve never done for me — celebrate your efforts!

as you continue building your skills, be on the lookout for your confidence levels — that shit is about to skyrocket 🚀🌙✨

be you, be dope!
