thewalkTwo weeks into this life and I'm only just getting out of the habit of rehearsing conversations in my head before they happen.
For the first week or so I would translate what I needed to say into Japanese whenever I was about to do something I'd never done before or about to do something that I was nervous about doing - a remnant of "preparing" to get business done in Japan and being optimally prepared. By the second week I'd abandoned the Japanese and switched to preparing word-for-word what I was going to say in English.
Anxiety issues? Probably haha
