I struggled with this for a while. I rewrote SO MANY graduate school papers. It hasn't flared back up... yet
Something I feel helped me is doing things I know I can't and shouldn't be good at. Mixing it up. I got comfortable not expecting to 'knock it out of the park' at every at bat.
Ohhh, that’s a good one. I do like the idea of regularly searching for ways to be a beginner again (though I sometimes fight against wanting to figure something out a little too quickly). It would be fun to find and sign up for something new ... you’ve got the wheels turning!
This came up in my "The Artist's Way" group this week... someone who loves candles decided to make them as a new hobby and it got me thinking how long it had been since I tried something new. Like years and years!
As my college professor said - B's get degrees. It was his way of pointing out that I could manage to get my degree, work full time and take care of four kids without going completely insane. And he was right. B's do get degrees.
How smart is that?! Sounds like an amazing professor. And damn, a B with all that going on ... that's like beyond an A+ for any mortal. I tip my hat to you!

That sounds fun! My mother used to do that years and years ago, wonder if she remembers how.

Thanks! I dropped a lot of other balls during those years but it was the better choice.
