Today is Day 3 in my Hoop Lovers Boot Camp program. I am not going to lie, it is harder to stay motivated with this one than it was the 30-Day Hoop Challenge. It's difficult for me to consciously practice with an intention that I don't create. But, I want to try it out because it is so easy to get caught in a rut stylistically when you just do what makes you comfortable. And, I really feel like I am in a rut sometimes. (Like...now.)
Don't you hate it when you feel like you absolutely kill a practice session and then review the video and...erm...did not kill it. Ugh. I need something NEW! Something FRESH! If I had it my way I would hire a choreographer to tell me what moves to learn and put together. But. I sorta like that that is not an option. I have to prove to myself that I can do it.

For today's Boot Camp I am supposed to do "hoop mediation." I haven't hooped blind since shortly after the Hoop Path workshop I went to in December '09. Yeah. Awhile ago. But, I remember it being very freeing - not being able to look at myself, not taking in the world around me.
Today in an effort to change it up, meditate, and generate movement from within I will be hooping blind again -outside. Where there is a lot of space. And very few breakable items.
Hopefully, it is just what I need to jump start out of this rut.

the other day, during one of my 30/30 sessions, i changed it up and didn't use a camera or mirror when practicing. it was weird, but i got to notice what FELT good more than just looked good... or focusing on how I looked when i did something. i'm going to try and incorporate those things that felt good into a session with a camera and see how it flows. definitely a new and helpful experience!
that is a great plan, seriously - especially today when i have NO mojo!
