Doubt about the approach: “is this okay? Will this approach do any precise to me? I don’t think so. may be I ought to do some different technique. It isn’t always for me.”
Doubt approximately the instructor: “what is he up to? What does he need?” these 3 varieties of doubts can bog down the progress. Doubt about yourself starts offevolved like this. this is an obstruction.
