Think Less, Be More
This is the 6th Principle of the Eight Universal Principles for Stepping up to the Edge by Baron Baptiste taken from his book - “Journey into Power”.)
For all you Human Thinkers out there, drop thinking and fixing and just Be a Human Being.
In Order To Heal, We Must Feel
(This is the 5th of the Eight Universal Principles for Stepping up to the Edge by Baron Baptiste taken from his book -“Journey into Power”.)
It's about shame, about being vulnerable, about feeling what you feel which is uncomfortable and scary. And you know what - It's ok if you are feeling angry. It's Ok if you're feeling Sad. It’s ok not be ok. Feel What you are feeling. Stop hiding.
Since you're here, you're READY NOW.
Why Teach Baptiste Yoga
This week I'm tooting my own horn because I've just unlocked next level in Baptiste Yoga accreditation! I remember when I first did my Baptiste Level 1 trainingin 2016, never would I have imagined I'd travel to the USA several times to train with Baron and Paige, and I'm very proud to say that I'm now a Tier 2 Certified Baptiste Yoga Educator. And 6 years ago, I’d never even thought it’s possible for me to teach yoga.
I love how they differentiate the "title" of each level from
Teacher>Leader>Educator>Influencer.
Although on paper, I'm just a plain ol' yoga TEACHER, yet there's an inner sense of pride knowing I've done so much tto get where I am, despite my negative thoughts. :)
And being a YOGA EDUCATOR sounds about right for what I'm up to right now.

Exceed Yourself To Find Your Exceeding Self
This week we explore what it means to exceed ourselves in order to find our exceeding self which is the 4th principle of the Eight Universal Principles for Stepping up to the Edge by Baron Baptiste taken from his book -“Journey into Power”.)
The learning here is to be ok with the decision not to step over the edge, and instead stay with whatever is coming up and surrender with easefulness.
And if you do step off the edge, can you move forward without brute force but with kind determination.
Growth Is the Most Important Thing There Is
Where in your Life are you staying in your comfort zone?
The thing is what's wrong with staying in the comfort zone?
Nothing!
It's safe. It's safer than not knowing what will happen beyond the comfort zone. What's beyond the comfort zone is scary! Because there is uncertainty and you're scared of what you don't know.
But what's possible beyond the comfort zone? Beyond your Edge?
Growth.
And the opportunity to test your secret super power of Courage.
The 3rd principle of Baron's Baptiste's "8 Universal Principles of Stepping up to the Edge" is about acknowledging that Growth is the Most important there is and that in order to grow, you need to accept your Fears as it is. Your fears are stopping from what you want to make happen in your life.
Can You Remember Who You Were Before The World Told You Who You Should Be
Stumbled upon this quote by Charles Budowski via Thrive Global
Reposted on on my personal IG but I think it deserves more attention and more thought.
When did we forget to play? When did we start caring what the world things of us?
In Baptiste Yoga, we are given access to discover the Lie we tell ourselves since young, which we believed was the Truth of ourselves.⠀
⠀
My lie was I’m a bad girl and I’m not good enough.⠀
⠀
And i’ve been working on discovering the ME - before the Lie took over - the ME that is whole and complete. The ME that is full of courage and loving kindness.
The ME before I gave a DAMN about what other people think of me.
