It’s all about relaxing. If you can’t relax something is wrong.
I’ve recently had a revelation. It was something I guess I’ve known for awhile now I just never put two and two together.
I like to learn. I always go out of my way to learn something new. I had a break through the other day with my learning. I learned to learn as I like to call it. I realized I rush through everything. Yes I’m retaining information, and yes I’m “learning”. However, I wasn’t really breaking down my learning piece by piece.
This realization came when I was speaking Spanish with my mother. She said I wasn’t pronouncing nombre correctly, the Spanish word for name. I was ending it with an L like sound instead of a B sound as it’s written. This caused me to go through every dialogue I practice now with a fine tooth comb. I’ve made great progress now in my Spanish conversations because of this change.
It’s also translated into other areas of my learning world. My golf swing, my singing and even my baking. I realize if I slow it down, take the necessary time and truly grasp what I’m doing. I start to learn better. It causes me to relax which is what should happen with any skill in life. I’m learning if the skill is too difficult to perform. I’m doing something wrong. Now I’m not saying I’ll be a highwire trapezist anytime soon but. Much of life has to do with our ability to learn.
I’m grateful I have a life long friend who has really pushed me to always better myself through learning. We talk a lot about this topic and I wanted to share it with the world. Or the little world that will read my little blog.
I’ve learned a lot in my short time on this earth. There’s still so much more out there for me to explore.
