So whenever I start having these doubts, or any time doubts creep in, for whatever reason, I try to really bring myself back to why these feelings are coming up. And for me, I think it just always comes back to when I was a younger child and growing up Middle Eastern and an immigrant in the US. There was always someone telling me what I can and cannot do and what's acceptable and not acceptable for a girl
I feel like there's a lot of conscious awareness here in this app, which makes it one of my favorites to go to and connect with people across the globe who are doing things like, bettering themselves. And there's always good conversations and good company. But yeah, definitely. The ego is always creeping up on me as well, like many sentient human beings

I'm just seeing this reply to my first post. So yes, I am getting certified as a meditation teacher. I actually work in the tech sector, which is a very high stress, highpaced industry. So I found meditation about four years ago because I needed some balance in my life and kind of grounding and it's really helped me a ton this past year. It's tremendously transformed my life

I am so excited for you that you're getting your meditation teacher training. And no matter what, it's going to be a wonderful gift to the world to have one more meditation teacher. So I think thinking about it that way is helpful. I'm a yoga teacher, sure. And I feel like I have thoughts pretty consistently. Not as much anymore, but definitely in the beginning, a lot of imposter syndrome coming in

Marley, thank you for your reply and for listening to my post. I really appreciate your perspective and I agree wholeheartedly with what you said. There's definitely a need for more people to bring positive light and energy into this world. And really, that's truly the only reason I'm doing it, because I know the importance of conquering darkness with light, and I want to help anybody that's interested in learning and bettering themselves and healing themselves. So thank you again for sharing with me
