A breakthrough is a sudden discovery or achievement.
Breakthroughs are the ability to exceed beyond your own ideas and
decisions about something and they are the stepping-stones to a more
powerful and expansive YOU. They expand your perspective and enlarge
"your world". They provide greater vision. Breakthroughs are the pools
of motivation to swim in if you want change. They are the foundation for
achieving metal flexibility, which is critical to maintaining balance
in the face of stressors. But breakthroughs don't happen by sitting
around and waiting. So how do breakthroughs happen?
They begin with a leap into something different. They become possible when you are willing to let go of what "you know". They happen by releasing of all that feels controllable and familiar, when you take yourself out of your comfort zone and live in the spaces of new and different. They are made possible when you attach action to an interest to learn, or do, something out of your ordinary. They are the recipes for you becoming extraordinary. But how many of us are actually willing to give it a go?
It took me a long time to get this and I understand how scary it all is to actually put to practice. The picture in this article is of me in the air, and no, this stuff is did not come easy and "natural". I did not have a background in gymnastics or acrobatics when I began. So how did I do it? I did exactly what I referenced in the last paragraph. I took my interest in the activity and attached it with the action of giving it a go.
I remember the first time I stepped into an acrobatics class and thought, "what the hell am I thinking?" I nearly sabotaged my opportunity for a breakthrough by succumbing to doubt and walking out. Something pushed me beyond my resistances however, and I stuck it out. That one decision to stick it out changed everything.
By giving myself that opportunity, I provided myself the possibility for many breakthroughs. Acrobatics puts all my thoughts about myself, and my fears, in my face with no escape. It requires a tremendous amount of letting go of what "I know" and requires me to exist in the realm of unknown with TRUST. Don't get me wrong it is hasn't been easy but it has given me a new level of awakening.
I encourage all of you to immerse yourself in different and new. Yes, it's scary. Yes, it's awkward, but that's the place of opportunity. Comfortable is not always fulfilling, especially if you are struggling with depression, discontent and/or dissatisfaction in your life, and comfortable cannot give you growth. Expansion only happens in the space of the unknown. So, take a chance on yourself and this playground called your life. You have everything to gain and lots of negative self talk to lose!
Good luck and feel free to share some of your breakthroughs with me.
