How to tell when you are learning
· 5 min read
Learning feels uncomfortable
It's human nature to seek pleasure and avoid pain. But when it comes to learning, the proverb is true: no pain, no gain.
Learning is supposed to be hard. It is supposed to make us feel vulnerable and uncertain.
But when we're in the middle of that discomfort and we feel like everything is wrong, we may start to think that we haven't learned anything. Or we may get discouraged and think that we will never learn it. Maybe we want to lash out or give up.
