A Learner’s Manual is…
Paying attention to the learning strategies that work best for you so you can refine your learning process
“Make time” means…
Booking an appointment with yourself to do what needs to be done
“5-minute actions” are…
Small actions that move you towards your goal
The difference between “difficult-easy” and “difficult-difficult” is…
“Difficult-easy” is the stuff we do that’s stressful, challenging, and/or irritating… but familiar.
“Difficult-difficult” is the stuff we do that’s also uncomfortable, perhaps even terrifying… but truly growth-promoting.
A client’s nutritional level depends on…
- What they want
- What they know
- What they can do
- What they can do consistently
Your educational level is about…
- What you already know (or think you know)
- How well you can learn
- How well you can apply what you’re learning
- How well you can stay on track consistently with your learning process
Having “beginner’s mind” means that you…
- Stay receptive & open
- Review familiar ideas as if it were the first time you’d seen them
- Let yourself struggle & make mistakes as you experiment & learn
- Notice where your brain is taking shortcuts or skimming
Motivation usually comes (BEFORE / AFTER) action.
AFTER
The more you act, the more motivated you’ll be.
