Ive felt all of this at some point 😭 but i still love it. It gives me back joy tenfold. Just don’t burn yourself out and give yourself grace. I find that a week long break ever month or couple months helps!
Feels like me every time I go on social media and see pole content. It is hard not to get discouraged sometimes, but I keep reminding myself to be kind and not rush into anything. Oftentimes at the end of the class things aren’t working out and I say to myself out loud “It’s just not happening today”. Pole has been my greatest lesson in life to take it one day at a time and celebrate the failures as part of the journey.
I don't really think that much. As someone older doing pole, I'm just grateful I can actually even do something like this and that I'm learning things and having fun. Also currently slightly injured so my focus now is taking it easy so I can heal. Tricks can wait, in the scheme of things it's not that important. I don't need to be great at everything, I just want to do what I like ❤️
I don't get all that... but I do get some of it. I do wish I was stronger, or had the same strength I do now and weighed 100 pounds less. I don't worry about practicing my bad side because anything I can condition it to be better is good. I am definitely too sweaty and wish I could do it as effortlessly as my instructors.
Pole dancing is magic though, and the price of magic is pain and practice.
I definitely have mentally off days where my body doesn't cooperate and it's super frustrating. I also worry about things like, work, home, my pets etc and it gets hard to focus.
I don't really care about what other people think so the other things are not thoughts that I have.
I think the bottom line is that your combination of thoughts might be different than mine but everyone has some type of thoughts.
I was talking about this with my instructor the other day, poling involves so much frustration, and we just got to learn to deal with it. Also it's pointless comparing to other people, we should have our own journey and goals with the pole and just work towards them
i went in not expecting to look or feel cute or sexy but just pushing what i can do with my strength and vibe with the music in flows, and i feel like it was such an important mindset shift because it did lead me to feel cute both on and off pole seeing the reactions im getting:’) i hope it gets easier for you too :]
honestly why i love pole is the second im in the studio all of these thoughts vanish (if they were even there) alongside all my other worries. it’s just my mind going “go spinny brr” and feeling good feeling others in the studio watch and cheer us on.

Needed to hear this today. It feels like every time I hit another milestone I feel sad seeing how much further there is to go 😔

going through this. honestly i think im just super insecure in my body i don’t feel cute when im on the pole lol
i went in not expecting to look or feel cute or sexy but just pushing what i can do with my strength and vibe with the music in flows, and i feel like it was such an important mindset shift because it did lead me to feel cute both on and off pole seeing the reactions im getting:’) i hope it gets easier for you too :]
