I made this mistake for years and I want to tell you about it so that you don't make the same mistakes which actually helped lower my confidence. 

What we're talking about is the Constant Learner Effect. What is constant learning? 

Constant learning is reading loads of books. Following people on Instagram, listening to multiple hours of podcasts, but not taking action. 

Now those things are great, right? Of course, you educate yourself but when you don't take action, then it can be very damaging to your self-esteem. 

This is why people struggle with confidence.

They learn about confidence and fat positivity, they read about it and they listen to people talking about it, but they never do “the things”.

They're reinforcing the idea that they can't do it because they are not taking action. The longer time passes by, the more the belief that they can't do it is being reinforced. 

It's like this constant feedback loop of, I don't think I can do it. I'm not doing it. Therefore, I can't do it. I don't think I can do it. I'm not doing it and so on..

A lot of people get into this cycle and the longer that you're in it, the harder it is to break free. 

It's normal to do this or to be in this. It is not a failure on your part. 

Because taking action is really fucking scary, especially if the thing that you're trying to do is something that you are nervous about and your brain is telling you that you can't do it. 

Of course, learning about a topic is going to feel a lot more accessible versus doing the scary shit.

So, it's totally normal if you're doing this and it's totally understandable. 

The Constant Learner Effect is like if you want you to learn how to swim and you read a book about it. Whether you read books, watch videos, listen to podcasts, follow swimmers on Instagram and you weren't getting into the water. This is what it's like, right? 

The water is scary, deep, dark and, you could drown. There might be animals that might touch your feet and all that type of stuff. 

But you'll never build confidence to be a good swimmer unless you get into the water. Even if you're really scared for the first time….you just have to jump in!
