Beginning to Knit
If you are just learning how to knit, ease into it. Learn to cast on, then knit. Save purling for a few weeks from now when you are more comfortable. Be patient with yourself, and go as slowly as it takes for your brain to understand what you are doing. Knitting becomes automatic only with time and practice.
