I focus more on the outcome rather than the amount of stuttering I did. I found this generally made me a lot happier. Today, I went to the voting booth and they needed me to say my name and address. I stuttered a lot but got it done. I joked with the people in the voting room afterwards and despite my lack of fluency I got it done and left having a good experience. I found this change of focus helps me put myself out there more, it builds my confidence and my fluency generally improves as a result.
