You are right!  Thanks for that--it is easy to lose perspective.  I had been feeling a bit put out by the expectations I put on myself hooping recently.  Since I picked the hoop up, I'd been like, "I'll be a great hooper once I get such and such a move..."  and then eventually, very eventually, I get it.  But then I'm already feeling inadequate because I can't do the next such-and-such move.  It used to inspire me to push on, but I felt I hit a wall and was like, "Aw man.  At this rate I'll be 80 by the time I accomplish all of my hoop goals..."

 

I've been perking up again tho.  It's good to push through a wall, but sometimes it's good to take a break, too.

 

But  you are right!  And thank you!

Thanks for the uplifitng words!  Since I started using my polypro hoop a few weeks ago, some of the moves I had a bit of consistency with aren't as consistent.  It's like I have to relearn a few of them as I adjust to how the new hoop behaves.  That can get to be a downer if I dwell on it. 

 

Your post reminds me that I actually know those moves, even if I'm having to readjust how I execute them with the new hoop.  It also recalls to me that I'm doing things now that I wasn't a month ago, like jumpthroughs.  No way would I have even attempted those B.P. (before polypro).

 

Thanks again for the encouragement.  We all need a dose of that now and again. :) *hugs*

Hehe, I am constantly telling students, "All you need to do is waist hoop to look badass."

It's true, especially if you are rockin' out.
