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!
