i am finding myself in a similar place to yours -- there is something that is not clicking, not satisfying, not doing it for me, that blocks the growing process in my hooping and in certain obligations. does anyone else have this problem when retrieving their flow? 

lately when i've been hooping i feel that i'm not focused or engaged in what i'm doing, so every new trick i work on is "blah" and i get lost in my head when hooping just to hoop! i've tried switching up music genres, practicing in various spaces, but i can't seem to ignite the fire this time around. it's really disappointing especially since i picked up my first pair of twin polypo hoops yesterday and they are sitting across the room from me now, and i'm looking at them with very little motivation to pick them up because i don't want to let myself down! 

much love to you caroline. maybe let's try letting the hoop do all the talking and moving? any advice out there from hoopers who have seen the light? <3

Been feeling funky for a while. You just have to leave it behind when you pick up the hoop. This video completely inspired me and helped me push past myself. Especially the segment of him speaking begining at 4:00, check it out.

I haven't watched the video you linked but I will after I have written something from my feelings of being lost. Yes, the feeling you disgribed: "wanting to grow but some part of you won't let you" is very familiar for me right now. Yesterday I became conscious of a fact that I'm afraid of going towards my best dreams because I'm afraid that in reality they are nothing. So, I just think about all the great stuff I want to do but have no courage to even try. :) that is funny...luckily I became conscious about this paralyzing habit :) Same goes with hooping: many times I have dreamed and visualized about hooping in forrest or something else nice but haven't given it a try. I'm afraid of disappointments. Why? It really isn't so serious <3 now, I will watch the link.
