And how about the way you feel when you’re actually in the midst of something new? All of your senses are on high alert as you enter a different environment. You may feel hesitation as you navigate through a situation.
Adopting a beginner’s mindset can be just as useful when you’re in a familiar environment. You may think you know everything there is to know about a topic, but then something unexpected pops up.
No matter how much you already know, you still have a lot more to learn. This is where the “Empty your cup” mindset becomes useful. Like a cup, your mind needs to be emptied before it is ready for more.
Your mind needs to get rid of its old preconceptions to make room for learning, growth, and ideas. How can you learn when you believe you already know? How can you grow when you think you’ve reached the end?
