Your mind and how the learning process works. It’s just like learning to ride a bike.
There are 4 steps to how your mind processes and learns anything new.
Step 1: Unconscious Ignorance – Remember back when learning to ride a bike. This first step means you don’t know how to ride a bike. And, you aren’t even aware of anything cycling related.
Step 2: Conscious Ignorance – In this step, you don’t know how to cycle, but you are aware of cycling and know that you don’t know how to ride a bike.
Step 3: Conscious Knowledge – Here you are aware of cycling and can ride a bike, but only when you concentrate and focus all of your attention on what you are doing.
Step 4: Unconscious Knowledge – You can ride a bike and you no longer have to think about it or the process. It all happens easily and unconsciously.
These are the 4 steps you go through when learning anything new. Many people reach step 3 and want to give up when things seem challenging and require all of your focus and attention. Hang in there and before you know it you will be enjoying the benefits of that 4th step.
