Quick question: What have you told yourself or others that you're bad at, MTB-related or otherwise?
If you're like me, the list is long
What skills or subjects have you told yourself or others that you’re bad at or believe you could never improve?
I’m inviting you to answer this question in preparation for an upcoming post (series of posts?) about the importance of examining our mindsets about our MTB skills.
Here’s my ever-growing list:
Remembering people’s names. Telling jokes. Cooking. Drawing. Understanding photography. Basketball. Math. Art. Acting. Learning a foreign language. Throwing a Frisbee forehand. Wolf whistling. Cursive handwriting. Playing the harmonica. Fixing and building stuff with my hands (“I’m not mechanically inclined.”) Singing. Swimming, especially floating. Dancing.
Consider adding a quick comment with one or more examples from your life, past or current.
Math for sure. I always tell myself I cant remember names or numbers . Most anything that has to do with memorizing is a struggle for me, Retaining information has been challenging for me. I am just learning how to play the guitar and I have been at it for over 6 months and I am still practicing 3 chords music is a hard one for me , along with wheelies.
Math. Music. Foreign languages. Manuals. Heights. Exposed trails (see"heights"). Wheelies.
