Keeping your pole mojo

Honey bun started this discussion · 9/20/2017

I guess I am only venting but I've been practising for my competition (two more weeks to go). I'm so ovvvvver practising the same thing. I've pulled a muscle in my shoulder (not even pole related) and I'm competing in a duo and my partner isn't working with me. I feel like I'm losing my love for all this!! How does everyone else keep their love of pole through difficult times! (Relatively difficult)

I keep my love by taking a break...that might sound scary being that you have 2 weeks to go, but taking 3 or 4 days off may help. Because you've been training for a while you won't loose strength or muscle memory by taking 4 days off. If you like, train in something else for those few days, yoga, lifting or chair work. Something else you could try is one whole day of doing nothing just relax. Catch up on reading or a favorite show. Eat well, nap and don't worry about the competition. For me, a day of chill can work magic! Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
