Do you remember the last time you felt wholly and completely alive?
You know when there is nothing else in your mind (and your heart) besides what is happening right now?
You have to be in the moment - 100%! That is not a common thing to happen, even when trying to make it happen.
I have done some martial arts before, which is a normal concept to be discussed in that environment (especially because you can be punched in the face if you’re not focused😜).
However, I realized that many people never thought about that or, in the worst-case scenario, never felt something like that!!
As I was getting more experience in my ballroom dancing journey, I discovered a lot of similarities between these worlds (the martial arts and the dancing ones).
One of the big connections between both was to experience the same sense of being completely alive.
In a fight, it’s kind of obvious that you will win or get beaten up, right? 😂
But I experienced the same feeling when I was dancing, especially when performing in front of a crowd.
No other thoughts are crossing your mind. You are just doing what you have practiced a thousand times. There’s no time to think or be in doubt. It’s just moving in the flow. And in the blink of an eye, it all ends. (It’s kind of “magical”).
This moment goes really fast, and it’s kind of hard to explain too much. You have to feel it to know. But when you feel, you FEEL IT! You really feel alive!
I am not going to say that it’s not scary, because there is some of that too 😅). But if you trust yourself and your partner, it’s a tremendous leap of faith!
