Your Work Isn’t A One Time Fix

For the last 18 months, give or take, I’ve avoided looking at my reviews as a yoga teacher.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Before moving back to New York, reviews were a significantly smaller part of my job performance. Both in coaching and yoga, my success grew through word of mouth.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And it’s not that I didn’t want to know what people thought - or ways I could improve my classes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s that I wanted to know too much.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Recently, I’d worked my way into a big funk. Nothing happened externally, but my internal narrative slipped back into old stories of “you’re such a loser. Who do you think you are? What are you even doing with your life?”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And in a moment of deep humanness I dug my heels into those stories. And decided to seek out some evidence to prove my inner critic right.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Note - this wasn’t a terribly conscious decision. But instead one of those moments where in the back of your mind you know what you’re doing, but a bigger part of you just isn’t willing to stop.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So I watched the train wreck as I googled ClassPass and started to scour for my reviews.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I went through hundreds. No, I’m not exaggerating. My inner bitch brain is a fiend. Not all of the reviews were mine, but page after page I kept scrolling.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the hundreds I flipped through, I saw maybe 2 or 3 bad reviews about me. Stacked up against dozens of glowing reviews.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But you know what’s funny? Several days later, I find my brain skipping back to those few bad reviews.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even after I’ve worked my way through my inner child reprogramming, my daily practice, my embodiment release. Even after I’ve done the healing work I preach on this platform day in and day out.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because the work isn’t a one time fix. It’s not a phase. It’s not an easy button. It’s a new way of doing life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is why so many people struggle to create change. Whether you’re trying to manifest more money, start a business, build a better relationship with your body or yourself or your lover or your mom.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It works if you work it. And work it daily.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You feel me?

XO,

Chelsea
