Learning New Skills – Being Dad with Phil Lower, October 25, 2022

Mental and physical exhaustion is rampant when you begin learning new skills.

One of the most exhausting things was learning a new language. The amount of focus required to understand different accents and words, let alone humor, is intense.

Physical exercise is the same thing. When you’re building muscle, one principle is that you lift until you reach muscle fatigue or fail so you maximize growth.

It’s the same for our kids. They are constantly learning new things. We frequently get frustrated with them because they are tired of doing something when in reality they are fatigued mentally.

We all know that too much fatigue without proper rest can contribute to illness. The same is true of our peace of mind.

When we don’t refocus our efforts to recover our peace in the midst of the storm, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the waves that are around us.
