How a Simple Message Can Change Your Perspective
Have you ever been unexpectedly inspired by something small but powerful? Maybe it was a conversation that stuck with you, a sign you noticed on your morning drive, or even a song lyric that spoke to your heart. Inspiration has a way of finding us in the most unexpected moments, offering a fresh perspective or a much-needed boost. This happened to me recently, and I wanted to share my experience—because maybe it will inspire you too!
My Unexpected Inspiration
I recently became a Zumba instructor, and while I haven’t taught an in-person class yet, I’ve been busy creating a library of on-demand videos just for you! Dance and music have always brought me so much joy, and my love for both naturally led me to Zumba. I’ve enjoyed taking classes for years and always dreamed of becoming an instructor. So, I finally took on the challenge and set out to achieve this goal!
As exciting as this journey has been, it has also been a bit intimidating. While I’ve danced for years and taken countless aerobics classes, stepping into the role of an instructor is a whole new experience! I completed the Zumba online instructor program, which was incredibly well-structured and informative, but I quickly realized the real challenge begins when you put that knowledge into action.
As I worked on creating my own Zumba workouts and shaping my approach as an instructor, I found myself feeling overwhelmed at times. And then, just when I needed it most, I received something from Zumba that reminded me exactly why I started this journey in the first place.
When I placed an order for some Zumba clothing, I was pleasantly surprised to find a little extra something inside the package—a flyer titled ‘Confidence Mantra.’ As I read the words, I couldn’t help but smile. It was exactly what I needed in that moment—a boost of confidence and a reminder of why I chose to become a Zumba instructor in the first place.
Here’s the inspiring ‘Confidence Mantra’ from Zumba:
Confidence Mantra from Zumba
- ‘I choose happy.
- I choose me.
- When I step into class,
- I set myself free.
- I turn up the music.
- I wiggle, I groove.
- I remind myself,
- It’s always MY move.
- I’m healthy. I’m strong.
- I’m bold and I’ll show it.
- The dance floor is mine.
- I’m sexy and I know it.’
Create Your Own Confidence Mantra
While these words are focused on Zumba, sometimes we all need a little reminder to believe in ourselves. If you’ve been doubting a goal or feeling intimidated by a challenge, I encourage you to create your own Confidence Mantra. Just like in Zumba, life is about moving forward, finding joy, and letting go of self-doubt. I’m excited to keep learning and growing as an instructor, and I hope my journey inspires you to take a step toward something that brings you happiness, too!
