Something that I've been trying to do more and more is not letting my mistakes define the rest of my day and it's been really REALLY hard, especially in sales and customer service, but I allow myself a couple seconds to be mortified/cringe at myself and then shake it off.

Literally. That's part of what helps, shaking it off in public view, because it reminds me that Nobody Cares about your fuck up but You, and nobody bats an eye at the weird full-body wring after. It is LIFE-CHANGING. I stutter greeting a guest, a make a mistake on transferring their plans, I say something stupid and weird? It's fine. It is truly fine. The anxiety lasts a second because I have given myself concrete proof that everyone usually minds their own business about 98% of the time.

Let yourself cringe at your mistakes and then move on. Don't agonize over them. It takes work but it makes all the difference.

#Ive made so many friends because of this too. just letting people see you make mistakes and move on also makes them comfortable enough to+#do the same around you. i feel like thats very important. ive had so many people praise my workint style- more than ive ever had before+#and ive turned from over-apologizing to saying sorry and then thank you for being so understanding. thank you for your patience #its wonderful i love this job so much and i like the growth ive made over just EIGHT DAYS OF WORKING HERE!!!!#also t×rget is the only place that claims diversity and actually lives up to it which is an insane difference between other jobs ive had
