I know it isnt enough at this point,
But right now, my objectives are to get comfortable with approaches, rather than get results. If I start doing 10 approaches a day, I'm afraid that I will get extremely discouraged from continuing. Not to mention that there is not a whole lot of density where I live, the only time I can sarge is at the mall at the same time everyday. I think its a much better idea to keep it this way for the BEGINNING STAGES, so I would rather learn where my faults are, do my best to correct them, and continue from there.
I compare it best to learning how to play a guitar; you will get better by practicing 20 minutes a day for weeks at a time, as opposed to giving up after three days because you spent an hour a day, and got fucking frustrated with it because you weren't getting better fast enough.
It was actually the opposite for me. The more often I did it, the more I realized those 9s, 10s are just human not goddesses. It desensitized my fear of approach. The first approach of the day was always hard. When I first started, I had to give myself a 30 minute pep talk before I worked up the courage to just say hi. But I did make it so that I wouldn't open any chick that were less than at least 8 on the scale though. It was the quickest way to get over the fear.
But that's just me. Just like playing video games, I always pick the hardest mode first. Even if I can't beat it on the first few tries, I do get used to it and it makes other modes seem like a piece of cake.
