Follow us on a journey….
Usually it’s me sending these kinds of things, but this one was alllllll her. Originally by the incredibly talented .giselle 😍❤️
Now, I hear my students, clients, friends and family regularly say; “but it’s ok for you, you’re built that way, you’re naturally good at it, you’ve got the energy and strength for it.”
It’s far from the truth. I’ve never really been a natural at any sport. I’ve been mid at some things, but it’s only the sports I’ve put a lot of time and effort into that I’ve got to be pretty decent at. I regularly don’t want to exercise, I have plenty of low energy days, small amounts of free time, and a butt load of anxiety. But exercise and dance have become my daily non-negotiable with myself….and I feel better for it.
There was a time when beginner stuff was painful and difficult, there was a time intermediate stuff was (and sometimes still is) painful and difficult, there are many times when the advanced, pro and whatever category we’re putting this delightful flip into is (“Things that don’t feel humanly possible, until they are” category) painful and almost impossible. I’ve fallen, I’ve flopped, I’ve talked myself out of things only to get back on and try again.
Thanks to .goodchild bringing in some mics, you can follow along on a journey to learn something that we’ve never tried before. It was uncomfortable, confusing and, eventually, elating!
What I’m saying is, you have the right to say no to doing hard things. But, if you want to do the hard things, sometimes you just have to get comfortable being uncomfortable.
Love you lots
