What is one way you can measure growth and progress?

This is something I have tried to do for a while now. It is really tough to measure anything with no numbers. However, some ways I have tried are being aware of how I feel in certain situations that gave me anxiety in the past. To forgive myself for the mistakes I make, and to accept that seeking perfection is not fair.
I have been seeking out books and habits that can help me and lead me towards the things and goals I have. One thing I can say I have made progress and moved a little forward is speaking to people specially native speakers. Trying to not avoid awkward and cringy moments where I am probably be nervous in. I am a very introvert person and speaking another language just give me more insecurities, but I embrace it. Where I have been failing is in consistency and planning. The fact that I have made myself being so focused on progress and put myself through it makes me feel overwhelmed. Then, to cope all my emotions I take longer break that I should. Although, recognizing it is another step further. Acknowledging my emotions and letting them exist is another improvement. Also, accepting that I am human and there is room for failing is ok and I can always try and come back stronger is progress. For now my next step should be applying for a corporate job and expose myself to new challenging scenarios, and keep working in my daily basis routine.


Hi guys, I am trying to write pretty neutral, not to formal not to casual. Also, I have some trouble linking thoughts so any help will be appreciated.

Feedback

Good job overall! My main correction would be to work on being as concise as possible and saying things more directly :)
Remember that longer/less direct does not mean a better, more polite, or more comprehensible sentence.

Replying to your overall feedback, it is funny how English language can be exactly the opposite to Spanish. Less direct means being more polite. It is somewhat hard to be so direct, because Spanish avoids it. Thank you! (:

Yeah of course! Sometimes changing languages requires an entirely different way of thinking. In English, formality is mostly determined by vocabulary, not grammar or sentence length. It can be a bit tricky but thankfully casual language isn't problematic in most areas of life and work so if you slip up while trying to speak formally, it isn't the end of the world.

you are talking about an event in the future, so "I will probably be" fits this situation better

introverted = adjective
"makes me insecure" is the phrase that we would use
