#BYAS Ep38.0 - FEAR OF CHANGE - OVERLOADS YOUR BRAIN!

You know up until recently my mother was deadly afraid of computers. 

My brother and I would take turns trying to show her simple things like opening an email or a text document. She would always say ‘I don’t even know how to turn it on’ despite having been shown the right button to press a dozen times.

Before even starting the lesson she would be tense and there would be frustration in her voice. My mother is a very smart lady, she always solved every problem thrown in the way of our family. Yet when computers came along they allowed her to teach me perhaps one of the most valuable lessons of my life. 

I saw the fear of something new, take an otherwise brilliant woman and make it almost impossible for her to learn. Her brain was overloaded before it ever began. It couldn’t retain the simple steps or make sense of a fairly basic experience.

I’m not very gifted when it comes to computers, apps or technology but I am always able to work things out because of that essential lesson from my mother.

Approach things with a sense of curiosity and as an experience rather than a problem. Forgive yourself for not knowing or understanding and you will find that you are surfing the web in no time, filming video, or trying something you never imagined doing.

We live in a connected and digital world and we all need to adapt, learn and grow to be a part of it. Let go of your fear of change and help to be a part of the future that brings.
