Today I experienced yet another moment of magic ✨ and gratitude 🙏🏼 for the amazing people I meet along my journey, who I get to serve and who share their kindness with me…
The lovely Serena Choo (her pen name) stopped me as we were about to start a class, and told me that she wrote a book about Imposter Syndrome 📕
… and then she said…
‘I wrote about you in it…something you said about how we are in yoga poses… that just because you can’t do a pose, doesn’t make you less of a person… ‘
First I feel so blessed to know that the impact I have matters, and leaves a lasting impression, and of course I’m reading the book already… 📖
But there’s even more, it was the reminder I needed right now…
We aren’t all meant to be good at everything… when we begin, we are meant to be beginners…
and if we wait until we are fully ready, we will never start!
They say the yoga mat is a life sized mirror, well Baron Baptiste has certainly written and said it many times… and it’s true…
Our practice is a reflection of our lives… what we think about ourselves on the mat is what we think about ourselves off it…and that becomes reality!
This came at a perfect time, when I’ve spoken about self-worth and personal value and Unique Super Power (my take on USP) at least 7 times this week, and when a pivot in my life has me asking questions ⁉️
The friction between self worth and imposter syndrome is real… Steven Bartlett recently said he looks for it, if he doesn’t feel like an imposter then he’s not ‘in growth’ (I paraphrase, please correct me if I’m missing the point…)
So if you’re not sure who you are today 🤔
if whether you’re in the right place 🗺️
or if you’re good enough ➕
Here’s a list to do…
1. Find the book https://amzn.eu/d/1LTHRFA
2. Read it
3. Ask yourself what’s really holding you back from realising your dreams
4. Let me know what you find out
P.S. Thank you to Dylan and the team who helped me to become the kind of yoga teacher who inspires others 🙏🏼
P.P.S. It wasn’t a yoga class, today it was BODYPUMP and that’s all about believing you can and being willing to find the edge of your failure ♥️
