I almost drowned in a swimming pool last weekend. 🏊‍♀️ True story. We were in Matheran for a quick 2-day escape and I decided to hop into the pool except I don’t know how to swim. At all. What happened next was a masterclass in learning under pressure: → My friends broke it down into steps
→ First: just move your feet
→ Then: coordinate your arms
→ Repeat. Adjust. Don’t panic. Within an hour, I was swimming. Not gracefully. Not efficiently. But I was doing it. Here’s what struck me the method my friends used to teach me is exactly how we should approach any new skill: ✦ Break it into the smallest possible unit
✦ Master that unit before adding the next
✦ Accept that it will be exhausting before it becomes effortless I didn’t have the stamina to keep floating for long. But I proved to myself that I could start. Sometimes the first win is just not drowning. What’s a skill you learned the hard way that changed how you approach learning? 👇 #GrowthMindset #LifelongLearning #Matheran #PersonalDevelopment #LeadershipLessons
