Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

Here's something awesome that probably no one has ever told you before.

You can just decide that you're good at something.

How about that? You can just decide that you are good at something. How about that? You can just decide that you are good at something. I always felt this way in my career, whatever job I went into, even though I didn't even

necessarily understand what the heck I had to do on day one or whatever the job description said.

I'm like, I'll figure it out. I'm good at things. I'm an asset wherever I work. I'm bright.

I can do it.. I'm good at things. I'm an asset wherever I work. I'm bright. I can do it.

You can decide that you're good at something. You're probably going to make a decision anyway. So why not make a good one, a positive one, an empowering one, one that allows you to

show up fully and possibly, well probably as your very best self. You know, this became kind of clear to me

in an interesting way in New York a few years ago. One of my best friends, Adam, he's very athletic

and he's good at things, right? He plays a lot of tennis. He's just someone who, you know, if you

put him in any sporty situation, he's, he generally thrives because

subconsciously or consciously, he's decided that he's good at active things. Now one, one weekend,

we went to Brooklyn to this roller skating rink. It was like this cool, fun, random thing that we

did. And he, to my knowledge, I think I'm remembering this right, had never roller skated before, but strapped in those skates and just went for it. He was just circling that rink like a pro. I mean, look, he looked a little dodgy in moments. I thought he might fall, but he didn't. And he was good at it. And we had a fun time.

My husband and him also took him bouldering to this bouldering gym that we used to love going to

in the Upper West Side. And Adam just went for it. He wasn't like cautiously, you know, timidly,

you know, stepping up and starting on the little beginner walls. He just went for it, swinging, like swung

for the fences, swung for the high boulders. And that's what I thought of as I was preparing

for this episode. You know, you can just decide you're good at something, whether you're brand new.

I mean, a bouldering gym can be an intimidating place. All right. So can I a roller skating rink? Because people just zip by and they do all these cool, funky moves.

But what about you? What can you just decide that you're good at? I've been doing this lately in the kitchen.
