The first part in the cautious sharing process is to set up a strong foundation. To do that, do the following:
- Start by writing a journal and conversing with yourself. Here, you can also use a note-writing system.
- Share with one loved one who you trust and who always has your best interest in mind. For example, read your work to them.
- Share with one friend, who you trust, ideally someone who is part of your ideal audience.
- Share with a mentor if one is available.
- Share with a group of friends or a small circle of loved ones, who you trust and makes you feel comfortable.
When you have build confidence and are more comfortable about sharing, explore Cautious sharing (II) - Share to the world.
