Getting back to the barre has been tough. I had a rough February and was unable to find the time, energy, or motivation for going to the barre. I've been twice in March and it's been hard each time. I know it's because I'm not going very often. This morning was rough because of the time change. My body was unwilling to get up for my 6am class because my alarm went off at 5:15 but my body thought it was 4:15. HELL NO. I listened and just slept. I'm glad I did because I really needed it. Thankfully we're on spring break this week so I'm hoping to get back into the barre at times I wouldn't normally be able to go. I've said it before and I'll say it again, active lifestyle is a commitment and it's a commitment I haven't been able to make in the area of barre.
I am getting movement in other ways which is nice but not shaking at the barre. For now, it's the best I can do. I will get back to my old barre self, eventually, but until then, I'm okay with what I can do. Going back to the barre after a month away is always tough but it reminds me of important lessons:
1. I don't have to be the best on day one.
2. I do what I can do and not let anyone make me do more.
3. My best is good enough.
As I go into my Monday, I'm going to remember my lessons and the saying below:
