Tonight was another one of those classes at silks that both frustrates me and makes me more determined. I think with many of the arts or sports, your expectations on yourself grow faster than your capabilities which can drive you insane. It does with me anyway. I found out tonight that I have a month to put a routine together but at the half way point of class tonight I had no idea of what to do as the trick I wanted to do wasn’t working.
Thankfully I didn’t do my usual thing and abandon it in a huff but I experimented with another way of getting into the trick and it worked. Then on the way home I listened to the song again and again and a routine is forming in my mind. A few weeks of class combined with the open training session and I might get there.
Wow! this is big! It sounds like you are growing a lot…emotionally. Learning to overcome–for some of us anyway–the tendency to give up too easily in the face of setbacks and frustration is not easy. I think by taking silks, you are learning about maturity also. Congratulation!!!
