| Do
you remember when you first were
learning to ride a bike, or drive
a car, or use a computer? At first,
we were awkward, slow and fairly
incompetent. The way we improved,
was to practice on a routine basis
and, as a result, we began to improve.
The more we practiced, the better
we got. It is a fact of life! Yet,
many of us feel if we can’t do something
perfectly the first time, then we
are failures. Here are some guidelines
to developing greater comfort and
competency in any venture we choose
to undertake or skill we want to
gain.
- Find
someone who is already doing what
you want to do and ask them to
help you. This person is your
Mentor.
- Set
specific time aside on your calendar
to learn and practice your new
skill.
- Practice
on a consistent basis (once a
day) even if for a short period
of time.
- Tell
others what you are doing as an
incentive to keep practicing.
- Demonstrate
your new skill or competency to
others.
- Enjoy
the journey and the small progressive
steps you are taking. Notice your
progress.
- Be
patient. Rome was not created
in a day.
- Celebrate!
For example, as you practice using
the Get Your Sphere In Gear® program,
you will feel more comfortable staying
personally connected to the people
in your Sphere. Practice does
make perfect!
