You've built an amazing toolkit over the past nine units! Now let's create your personal reflection log to track anxiety patterns and measure your progress.
Logging helps you spot trends you might miss in the moment and celebrate improvements you've made.

What speaking situation still feels most challenging for you?
Your reflection log uses a simple template: Date, Situation, Trigger Level (1-10), Techniques Used, and Outcome. That's it - no complicated tracking needed.
The goal is awareness, not perfection. Even "difficult" entries show you're practicing courage.
Engagement Message
How do you currently track which techniques help you most?
For "Situation," note specific details: "Team meeting with 8 people" or "Called dentist office" rather than just "meeting" or "phone call."
Specific details help you identify exactly which scenarios need more practice.
Engagement Message
How would you describe your last speaking situation using specific details?
"Trigger Level" is your anxiety rating from 1-10 before using any techniques. This captures your starting point, not your ending point.
Over time, you'll notice your starting anxiety levels getting lower naturally.
Engagement Message
What was your trigger level the last time you felt speaking nerves?
"Techniques Used" lists which tools you tried: box breathing, visualization, vocal warm-ups, posture check, or one-breath intro practice.
Note what you actually did, not what you planned to do.
