Our higher self is our superconscious mind, our soul. Our higher self lays the blueprint for our human experience, picking everything out for us before birth down to the last hair on head, so we are set up to learn the lessons we choose to learn in this lifetime. What gets in the way of us achieving happiness, is our human self and all the destructive thoughts and emotions that come along with that.
I’d say my life was a little different growing up than the average kid. I grew up as a competitive gymnast, spending 99% of my time and energy in a gym from around 7 years old to 18 – learning and refining my next skill one after the other, practicing for consistency and perfection. Though I learned some amazing skills on and off the mat, gymnastics totally f*cked me, and let me tell you why.
One of the biggest determents I experienced through gymnastics was the limiting belief that I was never enough – I was never good enough no matter how hard I tried. It was more than the skills and talent. It was I was never skinny enough, I was never fat enough, I was never blonde enough, I was never fast enough, I was not young enough. The constant stream of rejection and inadequacy ran deeper than the technicality of my performance of the skill and began to slowly wear me down like chiseled wood. Day after day, the personal judgment affected my psyche deep from within, forming roots that would continue to grow into my adulthood.
The conclusion at the time was that I just had to work harder for what I wanted. Yes, it’s a sport and it’s part of the process. Mastering anything requires time and dedication. But it’s the programming I’m highlighting and directly relating to anything else we do in life. Our thought patterns, their consistency and where we focus our undivided attention on is what we’ll create more of. This universal law is called the law of focus. What we focus on, grows. Whether it’s rooted in fear or in love.
The reality is perfection will never be achieved. As much as we strive for it, it’s an unattainable goal, and shouldn’t be the goal at all. Mastery is the goal, feeling totally in acceptance of mastering and continuing to master the skillset.
The way my brain worked is I was in a constant state of ‘not enough’. My nervous system was completely out of whack, and all I did was push myself day in and day out through fear, injuries, and judgement. Becoming numb and often losing sight of why I was doing this to myself in the first place.
I loved the sport. I truly enjoy how much fun it was to train and master new skills. But it did leave me with wounds that I was left to heal for years to come. It is without question, that I came to master gymnastics with the angle of mastering mental and emotional programming. Understanding the brain-body connection has shifted me at the core, and I am forever grateful for the lessons it has taught me. Without my time in gymnastics, I wouldn’t know what I know now.
Our repetitive thought patterns bleed into every area of life. They move from the subconscious to the conscious, creating the world we live and experience. The wonderful thing about our brains though, is they are malleable. We can change our thoughts and build new pathways in the brain that rewire and rewrite old beliefs to new ones, known as neuroscience. It is through our beliefs, that we can take responsibility and hold within our cells and neural pathways a new frequency to emit to the world. Manifestation is science, all we need to do is shift our thoughts so we are a match to the reality we desire.
