You're A Baby 😅
There is a mindset shift that almost nobody talks about, and I first heard it worded perfectly by Alex Becker.
You have to embrace the cringe.
Whenever you start something new, you will suck.
You will be awkward.
You will be embarrassed.
And one day, you will look back at your early attempts and physically wince.
That is normal.
Think about when you were a toddler.
Zero coordination.
Terrible balance.
Falling every five steps.
Making random noises.
Your parents probably alternated between laughing and wondering how you’d ever function as a human.
But none of that meant walking wasn’t worth learning.
None of that meant talking wasn’t worth learning.
Being a beginner is simply the phase you must go through before you become capable.
It is the same with handstands, muscle-ups, L-sits, front levers, pistol squats…
Every skill starts with that “cringe phase.”
And if you avoid that phase, you avoid the skill entirely.
I remember learning parkour for the first time outside, looking like a lunatic trying to jump on small edges close to the ground as an adult. I KNOW that did not look cool but I had goals.
So instead of judging yourself, treat it like being a toddler again.
Curious.
Clumsy.
Learning fast.
Not caring how weird it looks.
The cringe is not something to escape.
It is the price of admission to being great.
