My New Goal = Make MORE Mistakes?

I've recently set a goal to allow myself an opportunity to make at least one potential mistake every week - or every day if I can think of a potential mistake to make.
Having figured out a way to overcome my fear of failure, I decided that it was time to experience a little more variety in life by trying out new things. This is the last remnants of my perfectionist mentality, in which I prevented myself from venturing out and taking action (without a ton of research first), In case I made a mistake.
When it comes to expanding comfort zones, I don't believe that you ever truly eliminate the uncomfortable feeling associated with the first step into the unknown. Otherwise everything in life would be comfortable, and that's obviously not the case!
So without babbling on further, the first potential mistake I'm going to make is to post up links to my website articles for constructive criticism. This is something I've always put off doing, for fear of finding out what people truly think; however, I understand that it's essential for growth.
So the first article is
