How’s everyone feeling this week? ✨

Let’s reflect on the week so far ✨

First:

What’s one kind thing you thought about yourself this week?

It could be a win, a breakthrough, or even a moment where you felt a little more confident than you did last week.

Big or small — take a moment to celebrate yourself. These are the inspo blocks that keep you going.

What’s one negative thought you had about yourself this week?

It could be as simple as:

“I can’t do it.”

(I think we’re all guilty of that one sometimes ⬆️😂)

Now let’s pause there — because this is where the work begins.

⸻

Let’s rewrite the story 📝

Take that negative thought and flip it into a positive one — but here’s the key 👇

It has to feel believable.

Even if you want a thought to be true, if part of you believes it’s impossible, that inner resistance creates a block.

So instead of jumping to the end result, make small, believable shifts in your thinking.

Let reality catch up — then shift again.

Example (true story — names changed 🫶🏻)

Jenny is working on her pirouettes. She can do a clean double consistently, but every time she pushes for more and falls out, she thinks:

“Ugh. I can’t do it. I’m just not good at turning.”

Her ultimate goal is five effortless pirouettes. She sees her favorite dancers doing it — and the gap between where she is and where she wants to be starts to feel overwhelming.

Frustration builds.

Judgment creeps in.

Her body tightens in fear — and eventually, she quits for the day.

That night, Jenny tries to “think positive” and comes back the next day repeating:

“I can do five pirouettes effortlessly.”

But her body doesn’t believe it.

It’s never done that before.

Instead of confidence, she feels pressure. Anxiety. Fear.

She tries again — and leaves defeated again.

The next day, Jenny tried something different.

Instead of repeating “I can’t do it” — or swinging all the way to “I can do five pirouettes effortlessly” — she chose a thought her body could actually believe:

“I can do two pirouettes effortlessly, and soon I’ll be doing three.”

This time, her body responded.

It knew two was true.

There was no internal resistance, no pressure to perform — just curiosity.

She returned to the studio more relaxed. More present.

Her breath softened. Her focus sharpened.

Flow took over. Muscle memory kicked in. Coordination and balance improved.

That day, she landed three pirouettes five times in a row.

Not because she forced it — but because her mind and body were finally aligned.

And more importantly, something shifted internally.

She didn’t just gain a turn — she gained trust.

A knowing that if she could do this, she could do more.
