Why You Should Embrace Being A Beginner
Let Yourself Be a Beginner
Why do we often hear that it's "okay to be rubbish" when starting something new? While well-meaning, that framing can feel more discouraging than supportive. In this video, I'm challenging that narrative and looking at the beauty of being a beginner from a more positive perspective.
Starting something new doesn't have to mean settling for less or feeling inadequate. It's about simplicity, growth, and the joy of completing those first steps-even if they're small. There's no harm in being a beginner; in fact, it's a place full of potential and discovery.
Join me as I explore how letting yourself begin, without judgement or pressure, can open the door to a more fulfilling experience-whether it's a new skill, hobby, or challenge in life.
I hope this inspires you to see starting fresh as something to celebrate.
