To achieve our goals learning new skills is almost always a must. When we are learning new things there will be times where we are completely lost.
When we feel lost in something new it can feel really overwhelming, which in turn paralyses us and makes taking action almost impossible.
Today we are going to tap for the feeling of feeling utterly lost when learning something new.
I Hate Feeling Lost When I Am Learning Something New
(audio 4m06s)
I know I need to learn this new stuff…I know I need to add skills…I know I need to add expertise…In order to be successful…I know I need to be doing things that are new…But there is a part of me…That really hates those moments…When I am completely lost…When I’m looking at the new material…Or I’m looking at the new skill…And I don’t know which way is up…I don’t know which way to move forward…I have no idea where I even need to begin…And when I feel that lost…I would rather just walk away…Because when I am that lost…I can’t figure out what the next step is…But there have been lots of times in the past…Where I have felt lost and overwhelmed…There have been lots of times in the past…Where I didn’t know which way to turn…And I wasn’t lost forever…I kept trying and became un-lost…I found new research…I found a new approach…I reached out for help…Beating my head against the wall feeling lost doesn’t serve me…So I give myself permission to know…That taking a break…And stepping away for a little bit…Is OK…Taking a break…And stepping away for a little bit…Is really healthy…I give myself permission…To know that I don’t have to stay lost…And asking for help isn’t failing…And seeking out aid isn’t letting myself down…What’s most important is that I learn this…And I’ve learned things harder than this before…And I will learn this and move forward…I will learn this and move on…I will learn this and be successful.
Timely and helpful?
