Mindful Moment; Learning a new skill
Are we more mindful when we are learning a new skill? Sometimes. When we are in the right mindset we can stay focused on the new skill. Many times we go into a new situation already in that fight or flight state. We are easily distracted, overstimulated or we have misunderstood expectations so we get frustrated easily.
A mindfulness practice can help us approach a new skill with an open mind and awareness. It can help us limit the distractions so we can focus on the new skill with curiosity or excitement. It can help us be successful in the practice as well as show resilience when we have a set back or make a mistake.
What new skill are you excited to try this month?
