Oh and one more thing! My hoop teacher, who btw is small and graceful and thin and hoops like a freakin ALIEN, she is A-MAAAAZ-ING, once said to me... "It's not how much you got, but how you rock it out." and then she slapped her butt. We were discussing hoop clothes and she wondered why I don't wear shorts to hoop since I was admiring her short outfit. When i told her it was because I felt I was too f-a-t to wear that, this was her response. It was a total turning point for me. Any time I feel down about my size, this is what i tell myself and it's totally true. Love yourself girl :)

The amazing Deanne Love of Hooplovers in Japan ran a Hoop Boot Camp 30 day challenge a little while ago. All the posts are up on her blog - I'd really recommend having a read and getting inspired :)

Thanks, I guess I was feeling down because I wasn't enjoying hooping so it felt like I was only doing it for others to say I had value. There was a time when I was hooping just for the fun of it. It is the only activity I've really stuck with so I started wondering why, is it just because I want to impress others and this was a quick way of doing it? I think we all started hooping because we saw a cool hooping video or live performance and wanted to "try that" not knowing how much fun it would be. The fun is what keeps us in the hoop so I guess I just need to find the fun again. I've got a lot of other stress in my life right now so that may be why I'm having trouble just going out and having fun. The cultivating non-comparison article by Caroleena really helped me. I think I will try to read that every day until I am ready to really hoop again.

Hey,

This is a big habit for me. I loose my motivation to do something and then distract myself with other things to put in their place. I wasn't really accomplishing anything though. There were all these goals I wanted to accomplish and then I wouldn't feel like doing it anymore and I'd stop. So many things never got done. Its a habit and we can change them. I decided there was a better way and not doing it was way worse than doing what I want.

This resource guide helped me a lot. It was put online just for you and I hope it helps

I love hooping and I'd love to see someone else overcome their distraction.

Much love

When I hit my slump I realized it was because I felt trapped inside the circle so I bought an LED staff to spin with and it really helped me to mix it up and think outside the circle.
