30 Days Journal - Day 20

I am a terrible journal-er. As an exercise to become better, I decided to do a 30 day journal challenge for myself. Just like during my quarantine, I am using Isolation Journals for daily journal prompt.

Prompt: Write about a time when you were NOT impeccable with your word.

Every interview I ever had. It always start off really awkwardly, especially in the part of introducing yourself. I always struggle to come off smoothly talking about myself. I am one of those people who can come off well in conversations but struggle hard on planned interviews. I think the worst part is always thinking back after the interview and trying to figure out why I said that and should have said this instead. The regret that sets in post every interview is always the most painful. Luckily I get over these what I think are embarrassing moments within a day and often in a few hours my memory of it become fuzzy and I focus on something else.

I do think with every interview I become better with my words and can express myself the way I wanted much more. I don’t think I will ever truly reach being impeccable with my words but I do try to improve my vocabulary and my style over time.
