Right now I have the great fortune to be training and learning from @theresastone91 in the @trust.your.instincts_ program. This week our assignment was to post something we might have been holding back on... Yallll when I tell you I’m one of the most indecisive people on this planet! I just could not decide what I wanted to show with this task I’d been given ! Then I thought about one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned in this program so far: the power of intention. Upon some MUCH needed reflection, I realized that I often set intentions that are not conducive to a healthy mindset (I.e. to be perfect, to not mess up etc..). These are no novel feelings to anyone pursing their passion, but the irony is, as I keep holding myself to those named intentions, I find myself less fulfilled and I end up “messing up” even more because I’m focused on entirely the WRONG thing. I dance, I perform, because I love it. My soul craves it. Why I was holding back on these videos ? I have no valid reason! In fact, watching these back is bringing me so much joy because of what they mean to me. I chose these three videos because all of them were choreographed by teachers who’ve reminded me of my why. When I set the wrong intentions for myself, when I feel as though I’m not progressing in my training, they reminded me and guided me through learning curves and roadblocks. For that, I am more thankful than I could ever express. I’m constantly growing. I’m constantly learning. Im constantly striving to be a better version of myself. 🧠: @kendricksamuel 🎶: “Monalisa” - @lojaymusic 🧠: @boparkk 🎶: “Me & U” @temsbaby 🧠: @lizzpicini 🎶: “Disturbia” 🎥: @jacob.hiss *I DON’T OWN THE RIGHTS TO ANY OF THIS MUSIC* Thank you for this assignment Theresa.
