Hi friends. Welcome back to the show. I hope you've had a really lovely weekend in every way.

It's time for us to dive into a brand new topic for our self-care practices of the week.

And I have been spending a lot of time thinking about being a beginner lately, learning something new, being in that space where you

actually don't know much about the thing that you're immersing yourself in and how very rare

it is for us as adults to actually get to be complete beginners in an area that we feel excited about. I think it's grown-ups.

We like the idea of control. We like being good at things. We like that feeling of sort of knowing

how to go about most of the things that we do in our lives. And the things that we focus on,

especially when it comes to self-care practices

or hobbies or how we move our bodies or things that we enjoy in our day to day, we tend to go

for things that we know how to do pretty well, things that feel easy, right? We don't have that

much time. We have responsibilities. We have things to do.

Learning brand new things takes a lot of time and energy and it's hard. So we go for the easy thing,

right? But there is something so special about standing in the beginner's place,

of going down a brand new endeavor, starting a new project, learning something new,

like picking up a new skill, and not having any idea what you're doing.

ideas, where you are curious and you get to be excited about learning something new again.
