At the moment, I'm over-coming my anxieties about my work; by setting myself small goals to achieve. Today's small goal is to scan in some work; just a bit, it doesn't matter if I don't finish it all today.

I'm trying to fight the very real fear of failure that I have; I think I'm starting to understand where it comes from now. Usually my way of preventing failure has been to avoid participating in (what I perceived to be) a challenge in the first place. Hence why you'll very rarely (if at all) see me enter a contest, or even collect coupons for a freebie; my fear of being too slow (which has been fed by the problems I've had with my dyspraxia growing up) or too late has worked its way into all aspects of my life, most troubling of so is my work life and career prospects.

I know I've tried and failed before to overcome my emotional hurdles; feeling like I'm back at scare one. But I know - slowly but indeed surely - that I am making progress.

Hope you are all well
