Re-valuate

I don't know what has been going on with me and my hoop practice lately.  I was hooping on a very regular basis before the challenge; at least 5 times a week.  Since I committed to hooping for 10 minutes everyday for 30 days I find myself not wanting to hoop at all.  Last week I hooped one time, which is so weird!

I put my hoops up on the wall so they are more easily accessable and I would find myself just staring at them, not wanting to hoop and unable to bring myslef to do it.

I think what's going on is tying a goal to something that I do for pure joy is taking the joy out of it.  Although I do want to improve, I think that just by playing everyday that is going to happen and I don't need to put the pressure on  my hoop.

I love hooping! Every time I get in the hoop I find myself smiling and laughing.  So, maybe picking the hoop as my challenge wasn't the best idea. 

Now what?

Today I hooped at the park where I was the only person hooping. It was the first time I hooped in public when there wasn't a hooping event I could blend into. I felt incredibly vulnerable and exposed, but kept hooping and laughing anyway.

Today was park day, which, means getting in my hoop practice was easy!  I brought lots of extra hoops to share and it drew children who weren't with our group over to try it out.  It was very sweet.

 

My friend Shannon got a pic of me hooping and being silly :)

I was feeling low on energy and time so I incorporated my hoop into my daily yoga. Two birds. One stone.
