Mantra: I am powerful
Tips: I want to repeat again how to safely exit: slide down if you’re new to inverts, or if you’re more experienced and have the skills and strength, you can use the Inverted Crucifix to come into Reverse Handstand or Thigh Slide Down. You could also use a push grip once you’re strong enough. Never flop down! Not only does flopping down lack control and present as novice, it places too much strain on your back and feet. It also creates a neurological pattern of bailing or falling out of tricks instead of moving with control and purpose.
Question: How are you feeling about the last day tomorrow? Excited, worried, bored?
Homework: In your journal today, write down how you’re feeling, then check these feelings to see if they’re truth (facts) or “stories” that stem from fears. If you realize it is a story, see if you can identify where this idea came from. If not, that’s okay; don’t dwell, just acknowledge the thought and let it go.
If you need to pause the video at any time to practice more or have a look at a related tutorial to learn more tips for an exercise or trick, go for it.
