April 26

"So good they can't ignore you."

I cultivated a good mindset while swimming in the pool today. The basic idea is to not apologize for who I am, not to shrink myself to fit others' expectations. I have a right to be here. 

I'm having trouble recalling the specifics at the moment. I may need to come back to this entry. But the main feeling was self-assuredness and confidence. I am building those. Not necessarily talking over people, but interjecting when necessary. Whatever it takes to make my voice heard.

This also showed up a few times when I spoke from my gut a few times today. 

I now need to set my sights on tenure. I need to start acting, today, the way that a tenured professor would act. What if I set myself the goal of submitting 10 papers in 2023?
