People tend to pick sides or teams. Whether it is in a religious setting (Christian v Muslim), sports (football v rugby), Politics (left v right) or any other area with more than one option.
Be clear why you picked the side you did.

Push Through Uncomfortable
When you find something to be a bit beyond your comfort level, there are several things you can do. You can ask someone, who may know more, for some guidance, or you can carry on trying to figure it out on your own. Some people, many I believe, will just stop trying, give up and do other things that are easier or within their comfort zone.
However, where you get your greatest growth to propel you to the next level of thinking and life, is when you push through uncomfortable feelings and grow as a person.

Productive Downtime
It’s amazing how you can find pockets of time in your day to be productive. This could be while waiting in a queue, while others are sleeping or when some people would go for a nap or get entertained.
By squeezing some productivity in between the cracks in the day, you can get more done and leave rest time, strictly for rest.

The Backstory
Ask questions about the history of things. There is a lot to learn. Get into the nitty gritty specifics. This can be fascinating.
My son and I were watching the Winnipeg Blue Bombers play their arch rivals the Saskatchewan Roughriders. He asked me why one team had their brand name (Blue Bombers) on the front of their jerseys while the other had their place name (Saskatchewan).
Then he queried why one was a city name and the other was a name of a province (great question!). I had no idea, so began reading about it online. A very interesting story, it was, especially when you add in the situation with the Rough Riders from Ottawa. The fact that both teams were also red and black added to the unusual tale. Look it up.
Backstories can be so interesting. Though, like anything, check different, and especially opposing sources, so you can triangulate around the truth.
