I read the quote from the book of mindfulness, which deals with depression. The author said that basis of mindfulness is back to our focus on something valuable or willing to try again when we are distracted by something.
This attitude is so important in speaking practice because we are going to fail, we are going to so many fail and mistake. So when we feel bad and distracted by this feeling, we need to sit with this feeling and back our focus to speaking. Fails and feeling bad is part of journey of language learning.
Although understanding and accepting this truth, balancing between good feeling and distress is still important. If there is only distress, we can't practice continually.
I think it's like interpersonal relationship. We need to find how we develop our relationship with English more positive way. Having fluency is not a matter of skills, but a matter of balanced feeling and a matter of mindset.
Based on a below post, I write In English and talk to myself.
