Stepping into Ourselves

It took some time because so did the process of finally putting myself “out there”.  It might sound funny but sub-consciously, putting my work on the world-wide-web was kind of a big step for me.  And most people would consider me fairly confident.  But the truth is, it wasn’t really something I was ready to do for sometime.  Why?  Because I hadn’t fully stepped into my true self with confidence.

When we step into our true self and our wholeness, everything becomes clear, effortless and enjoyable, even the challenges.  Why?  Because suddenly we become clear about our purpose for being here.  When we are clear and in our truth, there is ease and flow.

On my journey, I discovered the challenges of being true to myself in spite of other people’s opinions; of making unconventional choices like leaving my corporate job to teach yoga.  These were not things that initially felt ok, either because they weren’t popular or because it was new for the “people-pleaser” in me.

Making life transitions takes a lot of inner work. So as a wise man once told me…step by step.

I found that when we begin life again in a new way, those initial steps are baby steps.   As an adult, that feels pretty vulnerable.  The biggest and final piece of each stage of growth is actually stepping fully into ourselves and claiming our work and our purpose.

I am grateful for the support of my friends, family and a regular yoga practice to assist in the process.

This week I invite you to take a few moments of reflection and ask yourself “Where can I step more fully into the truth of who I am?”

See just how “big” you can get!

Thanks & Be well,
Gianna
