Baryshnikov talks about perfection...
"Communicating with an art form means being vulnerable. Being imperfect. And most of the time this is much more interesting. Trust me."
Often we strive for the impossible, the perfect, the unachievable because we believe we aren't good enough and by doing this, and ultimately failing to achieve that rediculous level of perfection, it reinforces our belief. "See, I told you I wasn't good enough".
It's a weird and wacky way our mind and subconscious works but there is a way you can change it and it all starts with the insight. The awareness of what is actually making you strive for that perfection.
From there you can recognise it for what it is and then change your behaviour.
Fall in love with your imperfections. They are what will make you perfect in the end because you will be perfectly you xoBaryshnikov: 'My jump is not high enough, my turns aren't perfect, I can't get my leg behind my ear.' Please don't do that. Sometimes there's an obsession with technique that can kill your best impulses. But communicating with an art form means being vulnerable. Being imperfect. And most of the time this is much more interesting. Trust me." ... See MoreSee Less

You are not alone...
I've learned that you can be in a crowded room and feel alone and you can be alone in a field, desert, or ocean and feel completely not alone. The only difference is our thoughts and we get to choose those.
I never used to believe this, that we get to chose our thoughts, because I always felt like my thoughts were controlling me. I used to feel like they were stronger than I was and that I was stuck with them for life. That was until I started having experiences where I was challenged to think differently and that effected the outcome.
Through various self-development live programs I discovered the power I can have over my thoughts if I choose to. Like when I walked on hot coals at an Anthony Robbins workshop. When I had an arrow against my throat and chose to break it rather than it break my skin #scaryaf When I was doing #toughmudder and had to walk off a plank and fall two floors into muddy water.
The power of our mind is controlled by us. We get to choose what thoughts we give attention to and which ones we don't.
So when it comes to feeling lonely...it is our choice whether we choose to feel that way or not. The reality is we all come into this world and walk this earth alone because no two people are alike. But we are never alone. There is always someone who cares about us if we choose to see them.
When I decided I was worth more, and walked away from the only family I had ever known I thought I was destined to have a life of intense loneliness. What I realised many years later is that it was my perception of what being alone was that was holding me back.
If I chose to believe it, there were plenty of people who cared enough to be there for me so I would never be alone. I just had to let go of my thoughts and belief that not being alone was associated with having a family around you. I chose to give the word "alone" a different meaning.
Ironically, that's when my real (natural parents) showed up in my life and now I am part of a huge family with eight brothers and sisters!
What are your beliefs around loneliness? What are the 'rules' you have in place that are stopping you from experiencing the level of connection you deserve in your life? What meaning do you give the word 'alone' and is there a different way to look at it if you chose to? #foodforthought #changingbeliefs #facingfears #teganmarshall #youarenotalone #courageous #brave #neveralone #alwaysloved ...
