So I've officially been back on the dancefloor for a week, after my 2 week break. Where I made a point of actually switching off!!
I hung up the trainers, caught up on sleep and just enjoyed being with my family πβοΈ
Itβs so easy to feel guilty about doing "nothing"
BUT...
Recovery is actually essential if we want to keep showing up and doing the work.
That said, this first week back has been a massive reality check!
Switching the brain and body back on after 2 weeks of "holiday mode" isn't easy π³
Going from the relaxed pace of Spain back into a rigid routine is a bit of a shock.
Mentally, it has felt like a proper uphill climb to get focused again.
My body most definitely felt a lot older! Really tight and sluggish.
Itβs amazing how quickly you lose that "spring" when you break your weekly routine.
My co-ordination was all over the place. I was making mistakes in every class π€¦π»ββοΈ
Despite the stiff muscles and the clumsy footwork, the break was 100% worth it.
Itβs just going to take a bit of time for my body to forgive me, for the time off! ππ»π
A gentle reminder, if you're feeling the same ...
Be patient with yourself.
Weβll get our rhythm back soon enough.
