Developing New Skills

Let's talk about something super exciting, learning new skills! But wait, before you think "ugh, I don't have time for that," I promise we'll keep this fun and totally doable.

Remember when we were kids and tried new things just because they looked fun? No pressure, no expectations, just pure curiosity! Let's bring some of that energy back into our lives.

Want to hear something cool? Our brains literally light up with joy when we learn new things. It's like giving ourselves tiny happiness boosters throughout the day. How awesome is that?

Here's the thing about learning new skills, you don't need fancy equipment or hours of free time. Seriously! Some of the most fulfilling skills I've picked up started with just:

Watching YouTube videos while eating lunch

Using free apps during my morning routine

Practicing for 10 minutes before bed

The trick? Start so small it feels almost silly. Learning a language? Start with just one word a day. Want to draw? Doodle one tiny sketch while your coffee brews. Interested in cooking? Master one simple recipe before moving to the next.

I used to think I needed perfect conditions to learn something new, like you know, lots of free time, the right equipment, maybe even a class to sign up for. But then I realized waiting for perfect conditions meant never starting at all!

Instead, try this: pick something that makes you curious. Something that makes you think "ooh, that looks fun!" Then find ONE tiny way to explore it tomorrow. Just tomorrow. That's it!

Maybe it's:

Downloading a language app and learning how to say "hello"

Looking up one simple yoga pose to try

Learning one new keyboard shortcut

Finding a beginner's tutorial for something you've always wanted to try

The magic happens when we stop thinking about becoming experts and just enjoy being beginners. Every single expert started exactly where you are, just curious and willing to try!

Today's Challenge:

Pick ONE skill you'd love to learn

Find a super simple way to start (like a 5-minute YouTube video or a quick tutorial)

Spend just 10 minutes exploring it

Share what you picked in the comments!

See you tomorrow for Day 23!

Mending your Clothes

Last year I embarked on a journey to learn how to sew and mend my own clothes. Fast fashion is something that not all of us can realistically afford to avoid. I know I can't. The pressure put on all young people to keep up with fashion trends can be all consuming but the guilt of buying from a store that you know uses slave-labour can also be all consuming. Which is why mending your clothes is a terribly useful skill to have, it reduces the amount of clothing bought, produced and sent to landfill.

Below is an image of a pair of jeans that I have recently mended and extended the life of! I like to use bright coloured thread, it makes it easier to see and adds a little bit of personality to my clothing!

Repairing your clothes is quite easy once you have learnt the ropes, my brilliant grandmother graciously let me visit her in Western Australia last year where she taught me the basics of hand sewing and using a machine. Asking your relatives is a great opportunity to strengthen relationships! if no relatives can help, community centres often have classes and seminars that can help you on your journey. But if you are like me and asking strangers for help is a bit daunting, I have compiled some resources below to help you get started!

HEY GUYS IF YOU KNEW THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE WAS COMING UP AND YOU COULD MAGICALLY PERFECT ONE SKILL INSTANTLY TO PREPARE FOR IT WHAT WOULD IT BE AND WHY

Guidelines: these are the fast and strong zombies, no intellectual capabilities or special powers, but they can evolve. The skill has to be something irl, you cannot say magic or necromancy or stuff like that. The government has collapsed, there is no help coming.

I can't wait to see what you guys say!

Title: Accidental Friends

Skillshare class: “Drawing for Stories (Live Session): Use comics to tell a story” https://www.skillshare.com/en/classes/drawing-for-stories-live-session-use-comics-to-tell-a-story/1301309418

Instructor: Ira Marcks

Experience:

Another great class by Ira. I decided to take my drawing "something hairy" (from always drawing with Mike Lowery) as the character inspiration. The task for me was to simplify them without loosing their personalities. I've drawn many mini comics over the years. I don't think I've ever done storytelling with just animals. Let alone few words. In this class Ira really broke down each part of the story. That helped me take my funny idea of my pets odd relationship dynamic and convey it in a clear way. It was a very enjoyable process!

Can't believe I am 23 pages into my sketchbook already!

New Skill — Master Something New in 90 Days

Learning a new skill in 90 days is both a challenge and an incredible opportunity. It’s a chance to expand your horizons, build confidence, and unlock potential you didn’t know you had. Whether it’s learning to code, mastering a new language, or picking up an instrument, the 90-day framework gives you enough time to make real progress while maintaining focus. Success in this journey requires intention, consistency, and a willingness to embrace the process.

In the first 30 days, focus on building the foundation. This is the exploration phase, where curiosity and commitment collide. Start by clearly defining what skill you want to learn and why it matters to you. Is it for personal growth? Career advancement? Or simply the joy of learning? Clarity will fuel your motivation when things get tough.

Break your skill into smaller, actionable steps. For instance, if you’re learning a language, focus on the basics—common phrases, pronunciation, and grammar rules. If it’s photography, spend this time understanding your equipment and practicing composition. The goal is to build a strong foundation, not to master everything at once. Dedicate time each day to practicing. Even 30 minutes of focused effort can add up to significant progress over 90 days. Consistency is more important than intensity at this stage.

During the next 30 days, transition into the development phase. Now that you have the basics down, it’s time to push yourself further. Identify gaps in your understanding and focus on improving those areas. If you’re learning an instrument, this could mean working on more complex songs or techniques. If you’re coding, start building small projects that challenge your skills.

Seek out feedback wherever possible. If you’re working with a mentor or teacher, ask them to critique your progress. If you’re self-taught, compare your work to high-quality examples or use online forums to connect with others who share your goals. Feedback is crucial for identifying areas of improvement and avoiding stagnation.

At this stage, variety is key. Incorporate different methods of learning to keep things engaging. Watch tutorials, listen to podcasts, read books, or join communities centered around your skill. Immersing yourself in different perspectives will help you deepen your understanding and keep your momentum strong.

The final 30 days are all about mastery and refinement. This is where the skill starts to feel more natural, and your focus shifts to improving performance and polishing what you’ve learned. If you’ve been writing, create a final project, like an essay or short story, to showcase your progress. If you’re learning a language, challenge yourself to hold a conversation with a native speaker. Push your limits and measure how far you’ve come.

Set aside time to reflect on your journey. What worked well? What challenges did you overcome? This reflection helps solidify the skill in your mind and gives you confidence to continue growing beyond the 90 days. Celebrate your progress, no matter how small. Acknowledge the discipline and effort it took to get here.

Throughout the 90 days, adopt a growth mindset. Understand that mistakes are part of the process, not signs of failure. Every misstep is an opportunity to learn. Stay flexible in your approach, and if something isn’t working, don’t be afraid to pivot. Surround yourself with resources and people that inspire you to keep going.

By the end of 90 days, you’ll have transformed curiosity into capability. More importantly, you’ll have proven to yourself that you can achieve meaningful growth with dedication and effort. Learning a new skill isn’t just about the skill itself—it’s about the confidence and empowerment you gain along the way. Embrace the process, and you’ll come out on the other side with more than just a skill—you’ll have a new part of yourself.

I can’t find this post I’m trying to reference but it’s basically this:

“My kid brought me a piece of black paper and excitedly told me they found a piece of night”

I think the idea that kids are way more poetic than adults says something about how we define “good poetry”.

Children have limited words and concepts to work with based on their limited experience, and with that they tend to make brief and profound statements seemingly on accident.

A lot of adult-written poetry is filled with big words and difficult concepts and those elements are supposed to create a feeling of profoundness for the reader. This is all well and good, but it kinda makes some poetry less accessible to a majority of people.

All this is to say that simplifying your craft isn’t always a bad thing. It can make creation easier for you and the end result can oftentimes be more satisfying for both you and your audience. There’s no shame in having limited resources(time, materials, schooling, etc). You can still make beautiful things and create profound content with the tools you have!

“Every day is a chance to build something new—a skill, a perspective, or even just a moment of peace. Start small, but start with intention, and watch how those little steps create something powerful.”

Day- 02 ☕

Today was a day where I could do more , I could be getting the results I wanted but i didn't because the universe was testing me with a lot of troubles, distractions etc. But still I'm grateful because I have done something and I learned and i survived it 🪐🌸

🌷Physical:

Did yoga and breathwork together and I'm being consistent in it . ❤️

Did 16 pushups - a win for me .

💌Mental:

Found telegram channels teaching business and making money.

Started joe dispenza - Lewis howes podcast half way through it.

Learned new lessons.

Did journaling and intentions for the day .

🕯️Fallouts:

I did scrolling and it was bad because I felt bad after that .

Goal 01 : control anonymously scrolling through every platform available with focus, timer etc.

I wasted time and i don't even know where and i admit it .

Goal 02: Everyday, Do a feedback loop or reflection at the end of the day about the time spent .

Compared, I felt jealous and envious of others = human behaviour

Goal 03: Feel gratitude everyday for 5 mins with good music and do start manifest journal.

🌛Lessons learned today:

A person who is disciplined is the one who is free, others are just slaves to their emotions, feelings and instant pleasures.

You can always start again and again until you get better.

Tomorrow will be better and I'm here for it.

🌸🌪️🌊🕯️🙂‍↔️
