Yep we’ve all been there, taking the training wheels off is scary, so you should be scared, nothing weird so far. I think the most important things is to not be afraid to fail. You are scared that when taking the training wheels off, you will fall down and hurt yourself. The trick is to not be afraid of falling down, it’s just a scratch, once you survive it you’ll be like oh? Was this it? I thought it would kill me, I just got dirt on my clothes and I don’t even do the laundry, so yeah let’s go baby!
In other words, yes, you will make a mess out of the husky exercise, you will get frustrated, nothing weird with that again. Engage the exercise just as an experiment that you know you will fail at it the first time, there’s no pressure to succeed. Fall off the bike, it’s ok, you already know it doesn’t kill or hurt. But here’s the important part, you fall down the bike, you see it’s not a big deal and you get back up again, you try the husky exercise again. We’ve all had to try it seven times before we reach a point we’re a bit happy to be able to submit it to the teacher’s review.
Grit is the key word. So go ahead, start the Husky, just lay a vertex down, then fail, make a mess, fail yet again, it’ll be a finite number of fails if you get back at it again and again, I can assure you of that.
