Hey there!
Today was basically a good and a bad day. I woke up by 6 o’clock, did my abs series, had a breakfast and my dad took me to ballet class by 7:45 a.m. I had rehearsal until 10 am and then the seamstress went there the take everybody’s measures. My mother got me there and took me to the gym, where I met Gab and my dad (they were wet because they came by walk and it started raining. Today rained a lot and then stopped for the rest of the day – still cloudy). I walked for 15 min, did some more exercises while I was watching Ritmic Gimnastics at the Olympics in the TV and stretched. No feet work, no balance work, no oversplits.
I just got part of my March Hare choreography and there’s a developpé with a balance that is making me feel disappointed with myself. I mean, I just got back to classes again after surgery, but it’s so bad and my pointe work looks awful, I definitely need to work on that (harder) and I keep forgetting the choreography. All these makes me feel frustated. I need to get better soon. Also, something that got me down today were my fouéttes and arabesque, I was practicing them and filming, when I saw it… Well… They were horrible, for real. I stretch A LOT and work so much in my arabesques, but they don’t improve.
(Just found a video that will probably help, will try and tell here later)
Yeah, psychologically I didn’t feel good and physically too… I’m feeling hungry these past few days. Like, when I have afternoon tea and cake/bread, I don’t feel like I am satistfied, even when I eat enough… I don’t know what’s happening, maybe it’s anxiety (don’t have the anxiety, just the feels) or I’m just tired.
Every time I write I feel better. Thank you!
I have SO MUCH work to do. I have to learn a barre sequence to monday/tuesday/wednesday (idk when we’re going to have class) to our exam, then a tap choreography to friday, a theorical ballet work to August 23th and the March Hare choreography. It’s all ballet and dance so I think it’s fine I’ll be able to do that (trying to boost my confidence here).
Yes, that’s it. That was my day. Probably me and my family will do a lil road trip tomorrow (yay!). Hope you have a good night!
(Just started raining again)

Don’t feel discouraged! As long as you keep working hard and believe in yourself you will be able to accomplish anything you set your mind to.
