Many high performers often dread the\u00a0B word<\/em>. No, not that one. We\u2019re talking about being dubbed a\u00a0beginner<\/em>. It can be intimidating and discouraging to feel like you\u2019re out of your depth or at a disadvantage compared to everyone around you who seemingly has it all figured out (spoiler alert: they don\u2019t).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cOnce we reach adulthood, we are often treated as if we\u2019re supposed to know things, and there aren\u2019t many places where continued or new learning or growth is encouraged or praised,\u201d says\u00a0Kensa Gunter, PsyD<\/u>, a licensed clinical and sport psychologist and certified mental performance consultant in Atlanta. \u201cMastery, however, is born out of trying, learning, failing, and trying again. Adopting a beginner\u2019s mindset can contribute to feeling less weighed down by pressure and expectations during the growth process and create more room for enjoyment versus self-criticism.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And we\u2019ve got some good news for you: Embracing a beginner\u2019s mindset when it comes to health and fitness goals can actually help you improve. Read on to learn more about how to adopt a beginner\u2019s mindset, why it matters, and how it can help you reach your fitness goals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What Is a Beginner\u2019s Mindset?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

A beginner\u2019s mindset is exactly what it sounds like: It requires you to try something without feeling like you already know how to do it. \u201cCuriosity, fresh eyes, and\u00a0motivation<\/u>\u00a0to learn new things are some of the main characteristics of a beginner\u2019s mindset,\u201d says\u00a0Isaac Zur, PhD<\/u>, a sports psychology expert in New York.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This means you have to get comfortable with asking for help, making mistakes, and learning as you go. Whether that\u2019s taking a\u00a0shadowboxing<\/u>\u00a0or\u00a0cycling class<\/u>\u00a0for the first time or experimenting with cooking new healthy meals, embracing a beginner\u2019s mindset can help take some of the fear out of the unknown. If you don\u2019t expect yourself to know everything, then you\u2019re less likely to beat yourself up if you have to ask for help. When you lean into being a beginner, you have a chance to truly learn without judgment\u2014from yourself or others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And the nice thing about a beginner\u2019s mindset is that\u00a0anyone<\/em>\u00a0can adopt this way of thinking. \u201cYou don\u2019t have to be a beginner to adopt this mindset, but it does involve embracing the process of learning, exploring, and discovering something new,\u201d Gunter says. \u201cHaving a beginner\u2019s mindset simply refers to your willingness to explore without prescription\u2014to approach and engage in situations and experiences without being confined by your expectations or ideas of what something is supposed to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Benefits of Adopting a Beginner\u2019s Mindset<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\u201cSome benefits associated with a beginner\u2019s mindset include high curiosity and greater openness to learn new things and explore different approaches,\u201d Zur says. This way of thinking can translate into more results when it comes to health and fitness, including:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

1. Greater Consistency<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Think about when you first learned to ride a bike or taught your kid to ride one. You didn\u2019t tell them to throw in the towel after a wobbly first ride, did you? Of course not. Instead, you probably laughed it off and told them to go again. That\u2019s the beginner\u2019s mindset in action.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Oftentimes, when we feel like we should have things figured out, we\u2019re more likely to get frustrated and give up when things don\u2019t go as planned. When we mess up\u2014like say, failing to keep up during a dance class or missing a crucial step in a new recipe\u2014it can be harder to keep going when you don\u2019t have the ability to show yourself grace.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But with a beginner\u2019s mindset, on the other hand, mistakes are expected and embraced. You\u2019re more trained to think, \u201cI\u2019ll remember this next time\u201d or \u201cI\u2019ll keep practicing,\u201d which helps you stay consistent\u2014and that\u2019s exactly what you need if you\u2019re going to stay the course with your goals. \u201cConsistency is more important than perfection and speed,\u201d Gunter adds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

2. Less Stress<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Let\u2019s face it: When we think we should have things figured out, it can cause a lot of undue pressure. The stress of not wanting to \u201clook silly\u201d or do it \u201cwrong\u201d can make it hard to even get started.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But when it comes to learning something new, giving yourself the space to make mistakes can actually be freeing. And the less stressed you feel, the more likely you are to actually\u00a0enjoy the learning phase of any new activity<\/u>, whether that\u2019s trying to master sitting still during a meditation class or finding your balance with a challenging new yoga pose.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

3. More Improvement<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

When you try to shake off the beginner label and get to \u201cexpert status\u201d before you\u2019re ready, you may actually derail your goals.\u00a0Leaving behind a perfectionist mindset<\/u>\u00a0can actually help you make more incremental progress.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cHaving a beginner\u2019s mindset is an opportunity to learn about yourself and expand your perspective in terms of what’s possible and what you\u2019re capable of,\u201d Gunter says. \u201cIn terms of\u00a0exercise and performance goals<\/u>, this mindset increases your focus on the process rather than the outcome which can promote confidence,\u00a0motivation<\/u>, and subsequently help with adhering to your fitness plan.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

4. Greater Neuroplasticity<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

When you learn something new, your brain has to rewire itself in response to the new stimuli, which is known as\u00a0neuroplasticity<\/u>. This helps your brain form new connections, making it stronger and more adaptable to challenges (yes, please!).<\/p>\n

\n

Tips for Embracing a Beginner\u2019s Mindset<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Many of us view being a beginner as a disadvantage, but there are plenty of benefits that come with the practice. That said, it isn\u2019t always easy to shed societal expectations that you should somehow already know everything. Here\u2019s how to incorporate the beginner\u2019s mindset into your way of thinking:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

1. Let Go of Your Ego<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

In order to adopt a beginner\u2019s mindset, you have to \u201cunderstand the importance of patience, gradual change, and having no ego,\u201d Zur says. \u201cWhen you do that, you can maintain the mindset and experience lasting changes instead of quick fixes, making the whole journey more enjoyable and fulfilling.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

2. Ask for Help<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Think back to our bike example. You wouldn\u2019t send your kid out to learn to ride a bike without helping them, would you? Obviously not. Well, the same applies to anything new that you\u2019re trying. Don\u2019t be afraid to seek out support as you\u2019re learning something new.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cBeginners sometimes need more support due to the discrepancies between their enthusiasm and their actual performance,\u201d Zur says. \u201cHowever, when they approach it with patience and resilience, it becomes a valuable space for development.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

3. Start Small<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

When you\u2019re adopting a beginner\u2019s mindset and trying something new, resist the temptation to dive into advanced-level activities. Instead of leaping headfirst into a\u00a045-minute meditation<\/u>, for example, start with five minutes and build from there, Gunter advises. This can set you up for quick early wins that build confidence with less pressure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

4. Embrace Mistakes<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Zur points out that with a beginner\u2019s mindset, there\u2019s often a lower fear of failure because mistakes are an accepted part of the learning curve. \u201cAs a result, your self-esteem will be less threatened when you mess up,\u201d he notes. \u201cOverall, there\u2019s greater mental adaptability.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

5. Bring Back That Child-Like Wonder<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\u201cThink about a young child encountering something for the first time\u2014the awe, delight, and pure joy of discovery,\u201d Gunter says. \u201cThis is the approach that we should strive to have when starting a new fitness regimen or activity. Ask yourself: What can I learn about myself? How can I make this enjoyable? Who can I ask to\u00a0 Think of it as an adventure and an exploration of what your body and mind can do.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

6. Remove Any Self-Imposed Pressure<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no shame in being a beginner,\u201d Zur says. \u201cEveryone, even the best athletes, has been at this stage, and it\u2019s a stage where the pressure is lower and it can be a lot of fun when you\u2019re in the right mindset.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

One way to do this is to take stock of the voice in your head: Is it cheering you on through mistakes or\u00a0beating you down<\/u>? Focus on positive self-talk to help keep the pressure low and the fun high.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Takeaway<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Whether you\u2019re trying something for the first time or the 100th time, adopting a beginner\u2019s mindset is often one of the best things you can do to reach your goals. When you don\u2019t need to be \u201cperfect,\u201d you actually give yourself permission to learn and get better along the way and have fun doing so. \u201cRemember, the road to being an expert runs through the land of being a beginner,\u201d Gunter says. And that\u2019s exactly what you\u2019ll need to keep in mind as you strive to reach new health and wellness goals. So embrace the mistakes, the missteps, the questions, and the setbacks\u2014it\u2019s all part of the process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
