Quick Tip # 9 | Lear new skills as quickly as kids

This the environment that we create for yourself when we learn new skills (doesn’t matter if it’s DYI, cooking, or IT related):
• We want to see spectacular results straight away
• Instead of focusing on small improvements, we dwell on our mistakes/ errors
• We blame ourselves for not improving quickly enough
• We often give up after few attempts and say ‘this is not for me’
• We don’t look for support/ ask for help

This is the environment that we create for kids:
• We constantly encourage them to try again if they don’t succeed at the beginning
• We cheer for them and cheer for them even at the smallest sight of improvement
• We don’t expect big results sickly
• We urge them not to give up trying
• We explain to them that the progress takes time and repetition

So why are we self sabotaging our results by doing totally opposite to ourselves?
