Accepted answer

The Church asks at least once a year, and before Holy Communion if you know you have sinned seriously. Many people find once a month a good rhythm. Choose a day, such as the first Saturday, and keep it.

Once a month changed things for me. It stops being frightening.

Be charitable. You are speaking to a brother or sister in Christ.
