I really enjoyed your last post but I think I enjoyed this one more. Seriously, I was nodding my head the whole time. You write the truth, Sir.
I have problems with social anxiety too and that dang lizard brain just won’t leave me alone sometimes. But through practicing mindfulness in daily life and going through these stressful situations, our core is hardening. Building walls in the sanctuary of the mind that keep out the distractions and unwanted envy, fear, and temptation. In a way, we are lucky to be Korean learners, because the life of language learning requires us to do things that force us to confront our fears. Feeling the fear and doing it anyway… that’s the only way.
존슨 형 자주 하는 얘기인데 ‘우리는 같은 길에 길동무다’ We are fellow travelers on the same path. I think that’s true of us. Great reading your post and keep em comin sir!
