For some reason, this made me think of this amazing post from IAmMaximus (an old MASF poster). It's seriously one of my all-time favorites and i think it's applicable to the situation

This is a very simple personal motto that's really helped me stay motivated and power through AA, bad states, poor logistics, rejections, etc. It's a simple way to reframe yourself as a guy who does, rather than a guy who thinks.
GATA is a very simple acronymn that's become my personal creed over the past few months.
GATA="Get After That Ass!!!!!!"
For me, this has been the 3 second rule, "Make the ho say no!," State, subcommunication, alpha-ness, persistence, all of that stuff rolled into one. It teaches you to think on your feet and build confidence within yourself. It harnesses your sexual energy into something productive.
You see a girl you think is cute? GATA!
Approach Anxiety killing you? GATA!
Don't know an opener? GATA!
Unsure what to say next? GATA!
Approach angle sucks? GATA!
Dressed like shit when a HB appears? GATA!
You get shot down by 10 girls? GATA!
Afraid you might show too much interest/neediness? GATA!
Intimidated in any way? GATA!
Nervous about escalating? GATA!
Don't know how to DHV and neg the target while feeling the Nimbus upon you and disarming obstacles while preparing your timebridge to the Day2 sex location? Fuck all that! GATA!
In the end, taking right action and just approaching girls will do more for you than reading (or stressing over) any theory or technical aspect of PU, which IMO only refine that into a more precise skillset in the hands of a seducer who already has this basic stuff handled.
You may think you're an artist, but an artist is someone who creates SOMETHING through ACTION! You've got to take the ACTION to be an artist. You've got to take the ACTION to ACHIEVE ANYTHING! Otherwise you're just a mental masturbator.
When you're out sarging, don't worry about the precise technical stuff in the moment. That will just fuck you up. If you feel any anxiety, any uncertainty, remember to GATA! GATA trumps the negativity and the excuses.
Now go GET AFTER THAT ASS!!!!!!
I think it's applicable. Also, in the same vein. Here is a link to his fairly decent newbie guide. I consider it a classic post on the basics of pick-up.

I hope some of that is helpful.
