Beginner's Mind- Seeing things fresh with Mindfulness
A beginner's mind gives us a fresh way of seeing things, releasing any judgement we may have while unlocking our ability to things in our present state of life. When we are new to something we tend to open our mind to learning, develop an understanding and adopt a mindset.
There are 4 state of minds:
free of preconceptions: how something actually works
free of expectations: what will happen
filled with curiosity: how we understand something ,ore completely
open to a world of possibilities gaining what is or isn't possible.
