"Sure you can't?"

Today in yoga class we were discussing conciousness. The importance of not only being aware of your entire body- but mind as well. How psycological our faults and deficiencies can be.
How many times don't we block ourselves by saying 'I can't, I'm not strong enough. I'm not that flexible. I don't understand. I can't analyze. I can't do this' blah, blah, blah.. The truth is, we get as far as we want. We control our bodies, we can't let the body an its faults control us. All that 'I can't' is pure bullshit. Sure we can. The answer in is concentration. In focus. And of course, in determination.
I swear that if you put all your energy into something, you will surely accomplish. Because when we say 'I can't' we are sending the message to our body that even if we give a 101%, we won't be capable, therefore, our bodies unconsiously don't give it all. Our body decides it's a waste of our precious time.
I say this by expirience. I couldn't do the yoga pose were you lift yourself up with your elbows and forearm being your only support. So I started thinking I can't. I can't. I can't. I'm scared I might fall. I just can't. And I never could. Until today. Today was one of those days were I just fell into complete meditation during the practice, I was so concentrated I couldn't hear anything anyone said. In those moments of deep concentration, I didn't have the time to think that I couldn't do that pose, and without realizing it, I did it.
If I could do that pose, then everything is possible. I guarantee you. It is possible, just don't block yourself, it's all a psycological game your body is playing on you; learn to be in control!
