When I was living in London (2007-2015/16), I pushed through a lot… on a regular…
I pushed through the desire to stay home to go to salsa nights, or nights out with friends… and then often I would push through the moment when I was ready to go home because it felt like I was lame if I left early…
I pushed through the desire to sleep in after one of these nights or a night working until late favouring pushing to be the best dancer I could be
I pushed through a-lot…
This month, I was in London for a week working, which has been wonderful: the energy, the variety of things on, all the inspiring people…
But I also noticed this energy of pushing that I don’t see in the same way in other cities in the UK or in Portugal.
And I got to thinking… what if I hadn’t pushed?
Would I be healthier? A better dancer? Happier?
Pressure makes diamonds they say… and it’s true! But it also makes stress, and imbalance and ill health…
So this month I have gone a lot more with what’s true… even if that means changing my plans… because if it’s not true and I push through and go anyway I am not truly in the magic of the vision: I am ignoring my intuition: and sometimes my intuition also simply says: “Chill out Ella: you will bring higher energy when you come well rested and balanced!”
Where can you let go of the ‘push through’ mentality?
