Dancing Through Transition

Transition in life.  Cha-Cha in Nia.  Similar & both have the same purpose, to take us from one step into the next, from one movement into the next.  In the Cha-Cha, it is done with one step forward then one step back.  In life, a transition can often look & usually feels like one step forward then one step back. The Cha-Cha is an extremely simple step.  However, many people trip themselves up & get confused.  As I have said for almost 16 years now, how one does Nia is how one does life.  Can you let go of your thinking, "I can't do this, this is impossible, I'm frustrated & overwhelmed" habit & just go with it?  Go with the simplicity.  Go with just what's put in front of you & work with it & IN it with Dynamic Ease & Grace.  What is your habit, do you just not let yourself have it & GO FOR IT?!  Or do you? When a transition, a stumble, a fall, a missed step in any form is put in front of u, do u see & feel it as this or do you freak out & automatically assume & tell yourself that you can't do it?  "It's just too hard!"  Optimist:  someone who figures taking a step backward after taking a step forward isn't a disaster, it's a Cha-Cha!--Robert Brault Love yourSelf.  "Friendliness towards oneself becomes friendliness towards another."-Harry Palmer, founder of Avatar. Live your life.  What do we possibly gain from throwing frustration, overwhelm & "I Just Can't Do It!" into our lives, into ourselves, in our WAY?!  Just think of all of the energy wasted on that, ick! Love your Body.  Love yourSelf.  Love your Life.

The dress rehearsal is over, time to play the real game!

Information gathering...always preparing...always making sure it's right & good enough.  What's stopping you from playing a bigger game, risking & just doing what you want to do?  Life is not a dress rehearsal, if you are always preparing & making sure & waiting to start so you can make sure you can do it, when do you actually do it?   It's imperative to do the work, imperative to have background information, imperative to have the desire to do it right to actually do it and do it to your absolute best!  HOWEVER, if you never actually put it into play, when do you join the real game, not just the practice before the game? Real change takes commitment & inspiration.  "“Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!”  ― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.   This means anything in your life:  changing your body, changing your career, creating relationships you want in your life...everything. Attention follows intention.  What is your REAL intention?  What do you REALLY want?  Uncovering & feeling what is REALLY true & REAL for you is the first part of real change & creation in EVERY part of your life.  Once you discern your own true reality & desire, you can create is by your attention, your desire, your decisions, your actions. Every choice we make, every action we make, has a result.  Attention follows intention, whether we know it or not. Learn to listen to your true you.  Learn to listen to your body.  Learn to listen to your body's intuition.  Learn to trust you...then put what you have learned into play!
