At every stage of our lives, it's possible to learn. Recent discoveries have revealed that the brain can learn new things at any age, so no longer is our brain stuck once we are older.
It does become a bit difficult to learn later in life, but you can learn new things faster and easier with a few simple methods.
The first step is stepping into the role of "Learner" in your life. Open yourself up to being a learner instead of needing to know everything. This is a quantum shift in your possibility for learning because instead of holding onto the old, you are embracing the new.
There are many ways to learn:
*Books
*Courses
*Mentors
*Podcasts
*Blogs
*School
*Social Media Groups
*Youtube
These are my top favorite ways to learn, and I utilize all of them simultaneously.
Yes, I said simultaneously. Let me explain...
When I want to learn a new topic, I always start on Social Media Groups, Blogs, Google, and Youtube.
These all have the amazing search-engine ability built into them for a variety of general topics.
When you search for what you are looking for, there are algorithms built in to SUGGEST related topics, and this is how I find the things I'm looking for often is by paying attention to the recommendations!
Next: I actually open up my intuition. I pay attention; for me, I pray and ask God to show me the resources that will help me learn faster (and they become highlighted to me in the form of a sense or feeling that I get when I'm on the right track).
From here, I start learning.
One huge tip: Don't feel the need to finish everything you're learning...
Sometimes, you might start reading something or going through a book or course.
THIS IS IMPORTANT: If you feel like you should shift and go somewhere else while learning, you will not get a losing grade by pivoting.
So I do this all the time; I jump from topic to topic and only focus on what really grabs my attention the most.
It should never be a dread to learning. Learning should be fun. We have to shift our perspective towards fun for its work.
Just as a child learns by play, learning is a form of play as adults, and something that I suggest you try out.
If you've never made learning fun, embrace the concept, and see how it works for you.
Think of a topic that you've always wished you could learn, and start randomly researching it - EVEN IF IT'S A WASTE OF TIME.
You can ask questions in Facebook Groups or post on forums. You can look up youtube videos and find books and podcasts by authors on various topics!
When you utilize these all together, you can learn anything faster than you ever thought possible.
Another great way to learn is by asking questions and trying this one "I'm not sure how to ask this question, but I'm wanting to figure out how to XYZ and wondering what direction to go in. Can someone help me?"
This question shows humility and says, I don't really know what I'm doing, but I really want to learn. Embrace this idea of the learner and the fact that you don't need to know everything.
The future will open up for you!
