Starting Over Vs. Continuation: Stop Resetting Yourself. You’re Not Back at Zero | Ep 62

This episode is all about shifting out of the “I’m starting over” story and into the truth: you are not starting over, you are simply continuing.I talk about one of my dancers who’s getting back into class after an injury. From the outside, she’s doing everything right. Internally, though she hears a whole messy conversation telling her she’s “behind,” “not like she used to be,” “wasting time,” and “not doing enough.”And that’s the trap so many of us fall into.  The emotional language becomes guilt, frustration, embarrassment, hesitation. We convince ourselves we’re failing before we even begin.We talk about the continuation mindset which is knowing that when you’re doing it… you’re DOING it.When you’re feeling it… you’re SAYING it.We get into Joe Dispenza’s work and how your pain + your history will try to write your future for you if you don’t interrupt it.In life, and especially in dance, there are always interruptions. Injury. Life events. Seasons. Mindset dips. The continuation mindset asks:What did I gain from this break? What can I apply? What trust did I build? What energy returned to me? What perspective did I earn?knowing that you are picking up where I left off and you now have more information.Starting over is: I wasted time and now I’m behind.Then we finish up by talking about perfectionism and how this contributes to the mindset of starting over. The mindset you'll be glad you hopped in on is that of continuation!Follow:Krissy: @krissyphillipinoKDFSTUDIO: @kdfstudio
