Rec | 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.

doing things you are bad at

I recently started dance and painting classes, which I’m horrible at. It has made me embrace failure and become friends with it-but in a low-stakes kind of way.

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!!
