Turning it around

Tonight was a bit rough. After a week off due to my injury, I went back to 3 days of 2-3 hour rehearsals in a row. I was determined to go in on this 3rd day and have smiles. I even put my hair up in a funky weird messy bun kind of thing lol. I put my negative thoughts and fears into a box (imaginary), and set it down in the hallway outside of the studio room.

It started off great! About 1.5 hours in, pain was setting in and being distracting. By hour 3, I was a mess, and started tearing myself down. And, yes, tears came at the end.

But, I forgot, that I did both dances full out several times. It was the first time that I fully did the floorwork parts in 2 weeks since my injury. I was so stuck in my frustration and anger with myself for struggling through the last hour, when I actually pushed myself through the first 2 hours and did it pretty well!

Why is it so hard to be less hard on ourselves? The bad parts glow bright and diminish the good parts. Just got to keep reminding myself of the good parts. I hope that all of you here remember to think of the good parts. ❤️
