Overcoming the fear of posting

I started this course with a real anxiety around posting. I am not sure what started this fear, maybe of saying something others thought was stupid or sharing something that was obvious to everyone else.  Not sure. But I know that I would type everything out very quickly and post before I could think about it.

This is a signifcant take away from this course for me. I have much less anxiety over posting.  A little anxiety is probably good so that I don't get too crazy :). 

I have formed or dusted off my personal accounts and have began to build connections there under my name.  I still have a way to go with producing and sharing my own content but I am doing much better than I would have thought.  

I appreciate that this course pushed me, which is why I signed up. I am also glad that I had this experience as a student so that I can support my own students if needed in the future.

I hope you didn't have fear in the first place, but if you did, I hope you are more relaxed as well. Cheers!
