One of the best pieces of advice I’ve ever received was from one of my childhood dance teachers. If we fell down while trying something new or difficult (as long as we weren’t injured), he would always tell us- “get up and do it again. Now. Otherwise you’ll become afraid of it.” It seemed a bit insensitive and almost uncaring in the moment, but it really did work. I’m not saying we should force ourselves to do something if we’re not ready for it. But if you know you’re capable and you tried but it didn’t work the first time- try again! Don’t allow the energy of failure to root itself within you. Failure is hard for anyone, and the seed of fear can spread itself so quickly if we let it. Stop it before it has the chance to grow. Prove to yourself that you can do whatever you set your mind to- because you can 💗
