Get rid of your fear of #failure! #mistakes speed #learning - Dr Lila Landowski x Sally Obermeder

When we make mistakes, we're releasing all of these neurom modulators and neurotransmitters that ultimately improve our attention. They're doing that on purpose. They're doing that to improve our attention so you don't make another mistake. And that increase in attention, it's serving a purpose. It's saying, "Hey, pay attention. You made a mistake. Let's figure out how to do this better and change. " It's opening up this window of neuroplasticity. So, whatever you do after you make a mistake, your brain is a bit of a sponge. It wants to learn. So, if you're making a mistake and you're like, "Oh, that doesn't feel nice. " And then you leave. Number one, you're not learning because you've just walked away. But also, you're actually learning to not be able to cope with the anxiety and the discomfort of making mistakes. So, you're less able to do things. I'd say make mistakes. Allow yourself the permission to realize that mistakes help you grow and help you to be better. Lean into that awkward feeling.
