Sometimes, it seems hardly worth living a life if we don't have the confidence or self-esteem to enjoy ourselves while we live it. But feeling bad about ourselves is a trap of negative feedback that we can overcome with time, patience, and practical steps. In short, lack of confidence equals not feeling competent to handle our lives. We can fix this with some practical steps, some of which are surprisingly prosaic or mundane, and simple. Some, are harder!

ABOUT ALPHATUCANA
We are fundamentally alone in this vast and mysterious Universe, but we don't want to be. In the struggle to survive, to 'succeed', or to just get by, we sometimes forget the bigger picture, and we sometimes forget to just relax for a while and remember what an amazing world this is. There is plenty to look at: science, Nature, society... And there are plenty of games to help us get away from it all, since as humans we have a built-in need to play as well as to explore...

POSTING SCHEDULE
This depends in part on whether I have had time to record videos in between going to work and living the rest of my life! Usually it runs like this:
- Sat or Sun: a video at midday (UK time)
- Gameplay videos: Maybe Sat or Sun at midday &/or 6pm plus Tues & Thurs at midday if I have any ready
- If I have something extra to post it usually appears at some random time :) I may livestream occasionally too.
