being a beginner

it’s humbling but good for the soul, especially when you finally nail that thing you couldn’t do on the first try

giving urself permission to be a beginner

bc everyone starts somewhere and experimenting/not being good at something can be fun if you let it

EMBRACING BEING BAD AT STUFF

For so long i’ve had a physical repulsion to activities i’m bad at which really hindered my ability to get better and be expose to new things. Which is so lame and ego-driven. Now i’m bracing being a novice and trying to feel lucky about getting a chance to learn something new. Being the worst at something is kinda a nice spot to be in.

being horrifically bad at something

i took my first wheel-throwing class today and i'm so bad at it. there's nothing more humbling. it's like exposure therapy for your ego. it forces you to embody "beginner's mind". there's nothing wrong with being new to something, and the awkwardness of it is kind of sublime!!
