Rethinking how we handle grammar slips

I used to get so frustrated when I mixed up my tenses but lately I've started looking at those mistakes as updates for my mental map. Instead of just fixing the error, I try to see why I made it in the first place. It is usually because I'm applying a rule from a different context. Refining those small details takes time but it makes the language feel more natural eventually. It is a slow process honestly.
