The interesting thing with figuring stuff out is that often that becomes the action you take rather than the solution you eventually come up with.
The first time you rode a bike successfuly someone probably pushed you and you went along...wobbly at first and then fine. (essentially you were figuring things out at a rapid pace while doing .... instead of thinking of everything beforehand)
The human body and mind has an amazing ability to cope and adapt so maybe next time you have something you want to do...just do it....and learn along the way. Sure you will make mistakes but that is the best way to learn anything
Good Luck!!
