analysis paralysis. a physical tensing of my whole body at the onset of the memories of my mistakes and misunderstandings, of any sort of memory big or small, a complete wave of embarrassment that erodes my fragile calm. wasted afternoons, and plenty more besides. nevertheless reflection is important for growth and change. and so i must slowly learn to accept what has passed, to move forward with an understanding of what went right, what went wrong, what i can do different next time. to pass through the hall of mirrors, and take some lessons with me. not to become trapped forever in the endless cascade of reflections.
