Where Do You Start?
April 3rd, 2013 by Morna
I do some of my best thinking in yoga class. I think it’s because I have fewer distractions.
Last week our instructor, Heather, was talking about how different people are able
to hold specific poses for quite some time. She also noted how some of us have more
difficulty finding the right pose, and, of course, it’s different for all of us.
It’s easy to look around the room and see how someone is so able to hold a balance
pose for what seems like forever when I start to waver. Then I can see how my revolved
triangle pose is very open and I’m aware that not everyone is as open through the
upper body as I am. As we went through the class, several people commented on the
progress one woman had made with her pigeon pose since she’d been coming to yoga.
So what does this have to do with your creative arts business? Here are the lessons
I took from the class.
- We all have different skills and abilities. Focus on what you can do at the present
time and build on that. - Don’t compare yourself to others. It’s not about being as good as, or better
than, someone else. In the end, your only real competition is yourself. - You can only start in one place, where you are now, and grow from there.
So, what’s stopping you from starting?
