Big rocks/commitment letter - Week 1

My big rocks are to (1) make *visible* strides toward changing careers and (2) improve my mental health, which both involve becoming more myself.

I'm showing up for this because I'm tired of struggling and feeling awful about myself, and I want to become visible for my strengths. I don't want to stay stuck in this same misaligned job and in these same struggles for *more* decades to come; I don't want to become bitter, jaded, cynical, and hopeless; I don't want to look back and realize I never really tried, and never offered the value I could have offered others, because I never surmounted my fear of being criticized and rejected.

I commit to showing up every work day for an aligned work period that will help me change careers; to actively working to improve my baseline mood and self-image; and to move beyond planning into publishing/launching things that are visible and into interactions that could result in criticism/rejection.

When it gets hard, I will carry my feelings and fears with me and show them what it looks like to hit "publish," to live visibly, to help bravely, and to act as if I have something to offer... because maybe I do.
