This morning’s insight concerns Krashen’s Monitor Hypothesis. I saw how it ties in to Mistake Phobia—for people whose monitor is overactive. And I saw how a similar mechanism inhibits someone (me) from writing, or even living stress-free.
The monitor is limited in terms of what it can do language-wise. It can have a limiting effect in the wider arena too.
I need to redo my language acquisition guide. I need to start with the assumption that the reader is receptive. I shouldn’t trip myself up by trying to sell, justify, defend or otherwise being timid in voicing my ideas.
