Keep on dancing through it all.

 

I have danced in and out of self-confidence so many times in this life. πŸ’ƒπŸ½

Moving in and out of places of feeling so in my power, on top of the world and un-fuck-with-able to moments so full of self-doubt, I wonder if I'll ever be able to take *myself* seriously ever again.

I know I'm not alone in this feeling. We all cycle through highs and lows in all aspects of ourselves, and confidence in ourselves is no exception.

We convince ourselves (and let others convince us) that we are searching to find that perfect balance, alluding to an idea that one mythical day, we'll find that magickal little nook where everything is aligned. This idea that one day you'll just happen to strike the perfect balance and instantly become a master at balancing and you just stay there, perfectly balanced, forever.

Sorry-not-sorry, I don't believe in the idea of 'perfect balance' πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™€οΈ

We're not meant to be perfect, we're not meant to be precisely balanced in every single way, and we're not meant to be any *one* thing, all the time (how unbelievably BORING would that be?!?!)

Dance has been such a powerful teacher and metaphor throughout my life. Learning how to dance in and out of parts of myself, dance into and through emotions, dancing just to feel alive and free….it can all reveal so much.

I feel myself dancing into a season of deeply rooted confidence and humility, in a way I haven't felt before in my 33 years. I am moving and grooving into a new season of being truly in my power and fully present in my body πŸ‘‘

As this new dance with myself begins, I am reminded that even the most moving and beautiful dances don't last forever.

Our role isn't to try and strike the perfect balance, or to know all the steps by heart. Our work is to show up with our full presence and keep on moving, keep on dancing through it all.
