Hi Jen - in what ways are you feeling awkward? In what context? Could that be in how others might judge? Because there's nothing more natural in being you.

There's an amazing statisttic in it from baseball - that a really successful player only actually manages to strike the ball 3 times in 10. So how do they manage the feelings/emotions/thoughts of striking out? Check it out, see what I mean...
