Hooping Funk
At the tail end of 2015, I found myself feeling depressed, unhealthy, unmotivated. Hooping has been in my life since 2009 but it had lost its shine. I’ve been stuck in a rut, mostly self-induced, and my brain has been processing what my next step should be.
The odd thing is, I KNOW hooping makes me feel good. Perhaps it boils down to feeling good about myself first and foremost, which I haven’t. I’ve been testing the waters on what makes me respond with positivity and right now it’s eating mac & cheese and binge watching Mythbusters. Hmmmmm….
I did make a conscious choice to be a hoop student again. I took workshops with Baxter and Gail O’Brien and although I was giddy from them, my hoop habits did not return. I have not given up hoop! uh, I mean hope!
Have you ever fallen into a hoop funk? I’m sure I’m not the only one. As I make other positive choices I’m sure my faith in the hoop shall return!
Here’s to hooping and happiness in 2016!
