I truly believed I was a klutz since I was a child.
I was a bull in a china shop everywhere I went and it was evident from the patches of bruises I was always covered with. I was never allowed to drink from glass cups until I was almost an adult. Strangely enough, it wasn’t until I stopped believing that I was clumsy that I stopped being clumsy.
Easier said than done right? Actually, if you say it often enough, you will actually believe it. Your actions then will change because you now have a new belief about yourself. That is how I went from clumsy to graceful.
If you are doubtful, try an experiment. Pick one thing you are terrible at. Prove yourself wrong and instead believe that you are fantastic at it. Pretend if you have to. Write on a piece of paper what you are fantastic at and read it twice a day for a month.See if it works. If it doesn’t, email me.
It worked for me because I allowed myself to accept what was once foreign to me. I familiarized myself with what gracefulness involves and quickly adopted that trait because it was easier than I had first imagined it to be. It took time, but the hardest was to let go of my original belief which has grown on me. Yes, I actually wanted to be clumsy because it was familiar to me.
Try it because if you are like me, you won’t miss the bruises.
