“I am Enough”

∾ 3/22/21 ∾

My movement story is about having an incredible breakthrough in realizing that I am enough. Through Meditation, Working out, Cycling, and Illustrating, I am able to fully embrace who I am and be aware of the many ways that I can freely express myself. For years, I would be hard on myself and think that I was personally not enough because I would feel that I couldn't express myself well vocally. I would get entangled with my thoughts, prejudging myself on what I would say before saying it. I would wonder if my response or words would be perfect in context, verbal expression, and enunciation before I spoke. This would always lead to my own doom and then I'd be mute among others in conversation. I was a hot mess and was in desperate need of tuning into my throat Chakra. Staying home due to the pandemic gave me a grand opportunity to reflect and become more aware of my shortcomings. I realized that I needed to free myself from perfectionism and simply express myself in the best way that I could. And, just doing that has been my biggest reward. I am enough and there's no need to try so hard to be perfect.
