I am currently on day 3 of approaching everyday for at least 30 days.
My criteria for success comes down to 2 things.

  1. Open a set that I feel anxious about

  2. Open a set that I feel comfortable with and keep it going 10% longer than I would comfortably do so. (Kuddos to Austen Summers for the idea)

I only require to do one approach of either criteria to mark off the day though I find myself going for more. I have noticed an increase in confidence by consistently attempting sets that I find anxiety inducing. Because I only need to open the set for me to accomplish the criteria for success, a lot of pressure is released. My conversations are getting longer and I find myself feeling more confident. My next step is to ask for the number close in order for that part of the interaction to be normalized.
