Today I experienced yet another moment of magic āØ and gratitude šš¼ for the amazing people I meet along my journey, who I get to serve and who share their kindness with meā¦
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 š
ā¦ and then she saidā¦
āI wrote about you in itā¦something you said about how we are in yoga posesā¦ that just because you canāt do a pose, doesnāt make you less of a personā¦ ā
First I feel so blessed to know that the impact I have matters, and leaves a lasting impression, and of course Iām reading the book alreadyā¦ š
But thereās even more, it was the reminder I needed right nowā¦
We arenāt all meant to be good at everythingā¦ when we begin, we are meant to be beginnersā¦
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 timesā¦ and itās trueā¦
Our practice is a reflection of our livesā¦ what we think about ourselves on the mat is what we think about ourselves off itā¦and that becomes reality!
This came at a perfect time, when Iāve 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 āļø
The friction between self worth and imposter syndrome is realā¦ Steven Bartlett recently said he looks for it, if he doesnāt feel like an imposter then heās not āin growthā (I paraphrase, please correct me if Iām missing the pointā¦)
So if youāre not sure who you are today š¤
if whether youāre in the right place šŗļø
or if youāre good enough ā
Hereās a list to doā¦
1. Find the book https://amzn.eu/d/1LTHRFA
2. Read it
3. Ask yourself whatās 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 šš¼
P.P.S. It wasnāt a yoga class, today it was BODYPUMP and thatās all about believing you can and being willing to find the edge of your failure ā„ļø
