There is a time before you’re good at anything when you’re trying it for the first time. Here’s a word for the feeling that goes with it.
Trying something new – putting yourself out there – is scary and exciting. Our family has adopted the Glennon Doyle portmanteau of scited (scared + excited).
I try to remind myself that being scited is a sign of something good. It means you’re going outside your comfort zone, and doing it in pursuit of something you want. It’s a sign you’re in a sweet spot for growth.
When was the last time you were scited? What came of it?
