On May 15, I posted about how there are so many ways to exercise and move your body. 💪🏼 During this season of life, an adult dance class presented itself, so I decided to incorporate it into my weight training routine and work-life schedule. Go check out that post if you missed it—it’s definitely a flashback! 😄💃
What I didn’t realize was that they would eventually ask us to be in the recital! At first, my response was, “I’m good.” 😂 Then I thought, “Why not?”🤷🏻♀️
On my very first day of class, I didn’t know a single person. For those who know me, you know I love meeting people, but walking into something completely new after more than 34 years away from dance was still a little intimidating.
The classes, the TEACHERS, the friendships, the recital, and the entire experience were incredible! The class photo is missing a few people, and the recital photos are a little blurry —but I had to share them anyway!💙
Stepping outside my comfort zone turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made in a long time. It challenged me, energized me, and reminded me that growth doesn’t stop just because we get older.
So if you think for even one second that you’re too old, too tired, too busy, or too “whatever” to try something new—do it anyway!
Whether it’s strength training, Pilates, dance classes, an art class, scuba diving, singing, a spin class, or something completely different—just do it! I’ve been all over our area trying new things these days! 😆
Do it scared. YOU vs YOU!
Because at the end of the day, the joy you’ll feel and the pride you’ll have in yourself may surprise you. And who knows? It might inspire you to keep making time for yourself and keep saying “yes” to new experiences.💙
Take an hour—or even less—FOR YOURSELF! 💙 Ask around about classes, groups, and opportunities in your area. Try something you’ve always wanted to do.
If you’re interested in learning how to strength train for the season of life you’re in, give us a call. We’d love to help. 💪🏼💪🏼
As for me? Another session of adult dance classes starts next week here in Beaumont iRule Dance Studio … and I’m at it again! 💃❤️
