Not always a superstar….

Left behind is a good way too put it… when I’m discouraged it’s usually because I watch girls who are very advanced and are talking about inverting like it’s no big thing… and here’s me in my pole sit and planking it up, and freaking out because I SORT OF did a hand stand! I’m learning to be fiercely proud of myself for every accomplishment, because they are ALL big. Someday when I’m advanced I want to be sure to never forget where I came from. Which brings me right back to why I appreciate Studio Veena so much! All the encouragement from people who get it and aren’t judging is priceless.
Thank you Veena, for your authenticity. -
Its easy to get discouraged when we see others do things so effortlessness as we work hard to do the same or more basic things. But I found one thing that helps I’d to remember ALL people are on different levels of advancement at different times. And ALL people progress at different rates. This is why it’s important not to get into the habit of comparing our progress and skills to others, but simply look at others as inspiration and motivation.
*We also need to remember that every person who has learned a thing… Didn’t know it at one time. They had to work to learn it as well. And they are going to continue working to learn more, just as we will. Tis the journey of every person. 🙂

This is a great thread in the way of simply getting back to basics of why we all started pole in the first place. We all have our own dream and journey that led us all to pole! To me personally there is nothing more beautiful than to have someone we all look up to allow themselves to be vulnerable just like the rest of us. We put our pole hero’s up on a pedestal which is only human so thank you Veena for reminding us that our hero’s are human. My pole and I and the rest of the world have a conflict of interest where I just cant pole everyday, or workout, or even stretch and it sucks. Veena has got me back into staying motivated to really make the time to pole etc… You all have given me a spark under my ass I desperately needed! So I thank all of you.

Always here to light a🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 under someone’s ass 😊

Thank you for this! I poled and taught through my pregnancy until close to the end. But even though I kept up I had to stop using certain muscles during that time. I’m still struggling to fully build my strength back up.
-
Thanks Veena. Seriously, SV has given me the tools to move forward and not feel like sitting on my ass!!

I totally agree veena thanks for sharing this post. I have recently strained my hamstring stretching for the splits just when I was on a roll with my splits and pole moves I have now had to take a good break to heal and I’m now behind with flexibility 🙁 I feel crappy and your right it’s inspiring to see flexy people but also frustrating to see so much progress on my FB feed and I’m going back instead of up it’s been getting me down and putting me off enjoying my pole journey which really sucks so I feel a bit better now after reading this knowing I’m not alone and I know I will come back fighting even it takes the while summer again to get there I know I will. I’m getting there.

Omg. This is me currently. 🙁

Rachel, don’t be sad or disappointed about where you are, my post wasn’t about being upset with my regression but to show that its normal and ok. 🙂
-
That post was a big help Veena. Inspiring as always!
-
Thanks Veena. This post I can relate to and am grateful for people like you, who are truly honest and inspiring. Once again, thank you for your ‘realness’ girl!
-
I could post a ton of reverse progress pictures…not poling or really stretching for two years has really tightened me up!
-
Great post SV I’ve been on the pitty pot poopin. Needed this today! Xo
-
thank you Veena, you are a superstar to all of us out here no matter what…
-
This made me go back to pole today! I was feeling bad because I was like man I am outta shape, but now I see it is a daily struggle and process called discipline. Once you have mastered it, its okay if you are not always consistant, just know you learned what is necessary to become great over and over again.

So happy to see this is still motivating to others! Thank you for the comments, you guys motivate me! xoxoxoxo
