Allow Yourself to Sequentially Learn

Do you know
the 4 Stages of Learning?
Contributed by John Pateros -- ProcessCoaching.com

The learning process has often become more difficult than necessary because of the bad feelings people get when they make mistakes in learning. The bad feelings come from judgements like "not doing it right," "not good enough," "can never learn this," etc.

Ironically, not doing it right and making mistakes are vital steps in the learning process. Yet, too often our attention goes to trying to avoid the bad feelings, rather than to the learning at hand. Understanding the 4 stages of learning a skill can help keep the learning process about learning, and not feeling bad about it.

Here are the 4 Stages of Learning:
1. Unconscious Incompetence
"I don't know that I don't know how to do this." This is the stage of blissful ignorance before learning begins.
2. Conscious Incompetence
"I know that I don't know how to do this, yet." This is the most difficult stage, where learning begins and where the most judgments against self are formed.
3. Conscious Competence
"I know that I know how to do this." This stage of learning is easier than the second stage, but it is still uncomfortable and self-conscious.
4. Unconscious Competence
"What, you say I did something well?" The final stage of learning a skill is when it has become a natural part of us; we don't have to think about it.

Do you know that every cell in your body
is affected by every thought you have
... every word you say to yourself?

Ask yourself these revealing questions:

  • Do you mentally berate yourself when you make a mistake?
  • Do you accept what you say when it is negative?
  • Do you really know when your outlook needs a tune up?
  • Do you skip the solution when you suspect a problem?
  • Do you identify why an idea can't work before you recognize why it can?
  • Do you struggle through projects when others breeze through them?
  • Do you disparage or discredit your feelings?
  • Do you attempt positive, action-oriented goals, yet they evaporate?
  • Do you know how to effectively implement positive, lasting change?

Whether or not the Self-Talk you engage in is good or bad, it affects what you believe, the attitudes and feelings you hold, the actions you take, and the results you produce. A positive pattern of Self-Talk is one of the strongest, most effective components of personal growth and self-management. When well considered, it will move you in the direction that serves you best.
