I remember the first time I was trying to learn cursive, {NAME}. Do you? I was a liiiiittle kid, and yet I totally remember following those dotted lines on the page to make the most elaborate capital G Iâd ever seen. And the hand cramps? And the broken pencil lead? Man, learning is exhausting work. Maybe thatâs one reason kids need a lot of napsâI donât blame them! Heck, maybe thatâs why I still need a lot of naps. Because we never, ever stop learning. Thereâs no end in sight as long as weâre alive, and, of course, thatâs one of the most beautiful parts of this short sprint on the timeline of everything. We keep learning, then we teach (in whatever special way we show up in the world), and the process keeps going! I want to encourage you here in this moment, because I think somewhere along the way we forgot that learning something new is hard work. Who told us that, because weâre adults, learning must become invisible and effortless?? âNo one should ever know youâre learning! Just show up and pretend you know everything! And never! Ask! For! Help!â Iâm constantly having to learn and unlearn as a parent. Every single day. And as a partner. As an employer, creator, and marketer. As a family member, a neighbor, even as a customer! And Iâm often learning several new things at once! Sleep patterns, how to get my baby to take a bottle, a new podcast method, what gets out ketchup stains, how to deal with a neurodivergent brain, why does my foot hurt, how to release my first book, how to stop the ants from coming back to the cheetos in the pantry? Iâm like a walking, breathing Google Search History. I know itâs a lot, and I know youâre juggling your own learning journeys, too. The desire to keep saying yes to our own, unique micro-transformations is going to keep us in the learnerâs seat while weâre in the leaderâs seat at the very same time. So, hereâs what I know: 1ï¸â£ Your learning journey doesnât need to match anyone elseâs. There are no dotted lines you have to follow on your cursive worksheet. You donât need to force your learning curve into a neat, straight line either. Forge your own learning path! Unashamedly let your process BE your process. 2ï¸â£ Learning costs you time and energy. Youâre going to be more tired! Youâre going to feel annoyed that the journey takes longer! That there are more mistakes. And idk about you, but tiredness? It sure makes me want to give the heck up. Be patient with yourself and remember that your extra dose of exhaustion and fatigue means youâre actually doing the damn thingâyouâre learning. Youâre figuring it out, sweating it out, and transforming. Right before your own eyes! Move into your day, your weekend, or whatever is in front of you with that truth in your pocket. I hope it sustains you for the days where you have to show up and learn the new thing! And I hope it reminds you to get the rest and recovery you need to keep doing that good, comes-with-being-alive work :) Jenna [Unsubscribe]( Jenna Kutcher 340 S Lemon Ave #4227 Walnut, California 91789 United States
