EP15 - Beginners Mindset, A Fresh Perspective

This episode explores a fresh perspective - What is beginner’s
mind? It involves dropping our expectations and preconceived
ideas about something, and seeing things with an open mind, fresh
eyes, just like a beginner. If you’ve ever learned something new,
you can remember what that’s like: you’re probably confused,
because you don’t know how to do whatever you’re learning, but
you’re also looking at everything as if it’s brand new, perhaps
with curiosity and wonder. That’s beginner’s mind. It’s not just
something you practice when you’re learning something — though
dropping the “expert’s mind” and seeing the learning as a
beginner is an important practice in learning. It’s something you
can practice every single moment of the day (if you can remember
to do so).

Beginner's mind" for the idea and insight.
