It's Time to Let Control Out of the Box!

The need for control will have a direct impact on how much you trust yourself…

Losing your balance is a part of getting stronger. It’s a part of learning to trust parts of yourself to show up! I know losing your balance can feel humiliating or make it seem like you don’t know what you’re doing. And sometimes thats the truth, especially if its in front of people. 

Losing your balance can look like, literally falling on your face or simply falling off a curb. It can be when you’ve had a few too many drinks and made decisions you normally wouldn’t have. It looks like a struggle to find your center and, you lose the struggle. 

Sometimes losing you balance effects others and some times it doesn’t. Losing your balance is a part of life, yes. You need to acknowledge that fact and know that when you do lose it, you have identified a weakness and a need for growth. The shame you feel in those moments is an opportunity to let people into your struggle and to be vulnerable. It’s here, you become more connected and can lean on others while your balance gets better. You need others to grow. We can’t  be the best versions of ourselves without each other. 

When is the last time you trusted yourself to do something knowing there would be a consequence for your failure?  

Practice trusting yourself. And then, practice trusting more of yourself. Invest in yourself, and then, invest some more! To say it simply, trust yourself to do something differently. Put yourself in a similar situation, and trust yourself to do something differently this time. Little bits at a time, thats all it takes. 

Be courageous enough to lose your balance every now and again… Find your weaknesses and address them. You’ve got this! Control is keeping our best in a box, it’s time to let it out.

Much love,
