From time to time you tell yourself "ahhhhh i will never be
able to do this".
Most of the time YOU ARE WRONG!
I find myself saying that, in many occasions, when i really want
someone to tell me "You can do it!"
Well, i'm here to tell you that you CAN
do it. You can do anything you set your mind on doing, and this are not just
words.
A lot of our time we act according to social conventions, and this
makes us put ourselves boundaries that there is no reason to put them other
than the fact that someone else on some newspaper / talk show / internet told
us that we should put.
I find myself fighting a lot with the way i look, how old i am, what
is the "right" thing to be and behave, but at the end of the day, i
try to take all of these boundaries and put them in a little place up my brain
and to acknowledge that they are there, but now it's time to shut them up and
start do what i want to do, really want to do.
When i finish every practice i can't help but thinking if i'm tired
because i'm not good enough / strong enough / flexible enough and so many other
doubts, but then i remind myself that i'm doing it for the FUN of that, for the
good feeling in that practice. I'm not on a race to anywhere; i'm not in hurry.
I should respect my body, enjoy it and take a GOOD care of it.
Criticism is good.
When i need some criticism, i turn to the RIGHT people, the people who understand the profession but
also UNDERSTAND me. Criticism can
hurt but it can also make you GROW
and become BETTER.
But anyway, i always keep this video (it's a facebook link) to
remind me that there is anything i can do if i set my mind on it, and give
myself enough time:
All my love,
Emily
