This 2-Minute Monday Mindset is about growth and the need to embrace a feeling of awkwardness.
Embrace the awkward as a path to growth and mastery
Feeling awkward means you’re learning. It’s that simple.
When you step out of your comfort zone, you’ll encounter discomfort, uncertainty, and yes – awkwardness. But that’s a sign that you’re stretching, growing and expanding.
Embrace that awkward feeling right now, even as you listen to these words. Are my words making you feel awkward? Awesome!
Embracing the awkward will set you free.
You see, as you lean into the awkward, you’re actively expanding your comfort zone. Over time, you’ll notice that what once felt weird or intimidating becomes second nature. Just like moving your body — you can’t walk by staying in bed.
To learn, you need to reach for the unfamiliar because that’s where the magic happens.
Start with small steps. Low-risk actions. Experiment. Sure, you’ll make mistakes. But just as sure, those mistakes are how you gain new skills and insights.
You’ll learn, apply, refine and improve. And before you know it, that awkward feeling will turn into expertise or mastery.
Realize you must embrace the awkward to break through to new levels of skill. Embracing the awkward is a path to growth and mastery. This is how you elevate your business and your life.
