Do you remember what it was like to be a beginner? So focused on your own curiosity of the new skill or activity that you didn't compare yourself to anyone, even your past self? I recently joined a Learn to Curl class in Fremont CA, part of the Silicon Valley Curling Club (https://siliconvalleycurling.com/). To say I loved it is an understatement. I first heard about this from a colleague and have been wanted to try this for a couple months now. I finally found a date that worked and booked it right away.
In 2 hours you are able to practice basic skills and get right into game play. I cannot wait to come back and it was a great reminder of what it's like to be a beginner and learn from curiosity, not out of necessity.
Permission slip: try something so new that you can't, compare it to anything you've done before, even if you try
Remember to ask yourself: Then, why don't you?
