Life is a series of adventures, both big and small, that shape our experiences and define who we are. At times, we find ourselves standing on the precipice of the unknown, faced with a choice: to take that daring step forward or to retreat to the familiar and comfortable. While the allure of the unknown can be tantalizing, it is also a nerve-wracking experience that evokes feelings of fear, doubt, and uncertainty. However, it is precisely in these moments that we have the opportunity to grow, learn, and discover the extraordinary potential that lies within us.
Picture this: You’re standing on the edge of a colossal knowledge pool, ready to plunge into an in-depth course. Before you cannonball into the depths of complex theories and mind-opening concepts, let’s consider a little detour—an enticing short introductory course. Think of this course as a pair of water wings for your brain, giving you a taste of what lies ahead and ensuring you make a splash in your learning journey, without getting in over your head.
You can dip your toes into the waters of the subject matter and see if it tickles your intellectual fancy. If it does, fantastic! You can proceed confidently. And if it doesn’t quite float your boat, no worries! You can gracefully climb out of the pool, saving yourself from committing to something that doesn’t make your heart flutter kick.
When facing something new, our minds can focus on uncertainties and potential failures. However, having some experience with the topic helps shift that mindset. It enables you to approach the situation more positively, recognizing that you’ve overcome challenges before and can do so again. This positive mindset fuels your confidence, allowing you to embrace the new experience with enthusiasm and resilience.
I recently took my 6-year-old stepdaughter kayaking for the first time. She was really nervous as we approached the water for our lengthy adventure. She had all sorts of questions about what to expect, would she be safe, would she be embarrassed, what would it be like? Many of you had the same questions about the WiderPath program. You know you want the ability to increase your resilience, lower your stress, make more conscious choices in your life but spending two and a half days in a workshop, for a total of 20 hours? That’s a lot. That’s why we created a four hour WiderPath introductory program that will give you a taste of what’s to come, along with tools you can use right away. Curious? Join us for our upcoming introductory program on August 23. Click Here to register.
Remember: Embracing something new can be both exciting and sometimes nerve-racking. An introductory experience can help you decide if it’s right for you so you can dive in with confidence, and set the stage for success.
