In this week"s mini-episode, we explain beginner"s mind! Known in Zen Buddhism as shoshin (初心), beginner"s mind is a concept present in belief systems, philosophies, psychology, and martial arts. It teaches us to approach every learning opportunity with the curiosity and humility of a beginner. It"s a mindset that helps us shelf the ego, focus on skill development, and better enjoy our training.
