Not yet knowing how to do things feels uncomfortable.
Learning something new is where self-doubt rings loud as you pretend to know what you’re doing, even when you don’t. At least not yet.
My body always groans when I drag it into learning new things or relearning things I have forgotten. It feels the drag and complains and protests and resists change. My body doesn’t want to overcome the inertia so it thrashes and gets wild, sending my brain into pain, as everything tries to rewire and rearrange.
My body knows how to make it difficult for me. My brain knows how to make excuses for my body.
Yet the I in me knows what lies beyond the uncomfortable zone, so I persist despite the pain and the resistance until I go over the uncomfortable dip and into the zone.
Until the resistance breaks.
