Our Brains Know More Than We Do: Trusting our Mind’s Ability to Learn Automatically
Manage episode 387070032 series 3252683
A formidable skill is one that is related to a high level of expertise, surpassing the norm. It is one that is difficult to acquire, requires significant effort and dedication. Formidable skills are ones that are largely automatic. The automation comes from the mind figuring things out in ways we don't understand. So much of honing a formidable skill is learning which parts are automatically handled by the mind, and which parts require our deliberate attention. To get really good at something, we need to actively let go/trust that our minds can figure things out (better than we can).
