5 Best Tips When Learning
It doesn’t matter if you hula hoop or not. Here’s my 5 BEST tips when learning. Let’s GO!
My #1 one favorite LEARNING TIP?
1.) When you are trying to learn something new…try saying “I GOT THIS” to yourself.* At first you may not believe it to be true…but eventually, with practice, it WILL Be!
In addition to this “I GOT This” exclamation/affirmation Here’s my other (not so secret Now!) learning tips:
2.) Most of us work well with positive reinforcement. We are usually so quick to pull ourselves down, so anytime we can counteract our own negative forces, is a positive leap in the right direction.
3.) I have a saying, “Tell the universe what you want, not what you don’t, because the universe cant take a joke.” Putting forth what you do want, will help you way more to actually achieve it.
4.) When you focus on what you want, you magnetize it to you.
5.) *P.S. If it just feels so weird to say something positive, that you just know you won’t believe…try saying THIS! The simple switch to stop using the word “Can’t” and also adding in the word “YET” will be a positive learning game changer!

How To Open And Close A Travel Hula Hoop
Are you traveling with a collapsible hoop? You need to know this! https://youtu.be/q3rq1i-hrMU Here’s how to properly and SAFELY open and close a travel hula hoop. This is very important! AND Depending on the type of hoop you have you may have to open it differently.
HOOP TYPES:
Figure 8 /Infinity Hoop – so named because this is the shape ot goes into before it gets folded up.
Push Button Connector Hoop – this coils in to collapse. Some hoops may not be able to double coil in but may only go 1 1/2 times in and you can either tape, tie, velcro, or bungee to hold a smaller shape.
Friction Fit Hoop – connects like a push button hoop but the tubing and connector fits snugly without a push button.
IMPORTANT:
⭕ ONLY uncoil or collapse a hoop in room temperature! Failure to do so may crack or break hoop, and or stress or break connectors.
⭕ Do not leave hoop in collapsed position.
⭕ For best care, do not leave hoop in hot or cold places (like a car)! Plastic tubing can become brittle, crack and break in cold, or warp and melt in heat. Tapes will also have better longevity and good performance, plus continue looking Good with careful care with room temperatures and hooping on smooth surfaces.
What Is Adaptive Hooping?
“ADAPTIVE HOOPING/ADAPTIBILITY HOOPING”:
A gentle form of exercise based on your body, for your healing needs and goals, utilizing a hula hoop.

Ever wake up and something just isn’t working? It could be minor. It could be major. For some of us it’s a rare occurrence, and for others it’s a chronic challenge.
It’s also an excuse to take you out of the game of life. You read that right. I didn’t just say “reason,” I said “Excuse.”
This is because through my own experiences, and watching other amazing people, those people get on and figure out something that WILL Work. And they continue to figure out how to move in new, and sometimes changing ways.
The trick or secret to this, is finding the things you CAN do, through gentle adaption. For instance, can you sit in a chair and change your movements accordingly? Can you sit on the floor? What Can you do, even from bed?
6 ways you can still do Something (Anything!) to keep “Moving”:
- Go much slower.
- Change your range of movement.
- Experiment with adaptive variations of what you would normally do.
- Try 5-10% of the intensity.
- Do just a few movements, instead of how many more you previously did.
- Super Concentrate your practice with better technique. Pick one or two specific aspect to improve upon, and focus on those.
Learning (or relearning) how to move in a new way around or despite pain can be quite the challenge.
But the benefits and rewards can include:
• Increased mobility
• Speeding up healing time.
• Enjoying the process of coming back to full speed or any and all.

Hoop Love Ya’ll Show~Emerge Theme
In This Show Episode/Topics: “Emerge!”–Great tips for natural pain management so you can heal faster including: Arnica Montana homeopathic (and tips to help make it more effective), Ohco Motion (a Chinese herbal blend that also helps the body heal), and a Laughter Yoga exercise–because laughter is a natural pain medication. Plus I’m keeping Ya’ll up to date on my own personal happy healing (of skin cancer) journey–including how Judas Priest will be inspiring my bad ass costuming over a 4 inch scar–and how they helped squelch my panic attacks so I could go get this s**t taken care of!
•Humor/Health Tips – Holy Cow Arnica is so helping with my pain management. Also using Ohco Motion because it also helps the body to heal itself. Also doing more healing internally with raw cannabis juice, Mary’s Medicinal THC-a greens and Dragonfly Botanicals Hemp Oil—all of these are NON-psychoactive ways to heal using cannabis, FYI.

What is Laughter Yoga, you might ask? It’s exercises that are designed to help you breath, oxygenate your body, many with a “Fake-it-til-you-make-it” laughter. You don’t have to have a genuine laugh to start with…though by doing the fake laughter, you may develop a real chuckle or belly laugh along the way.

3 Reasons To Video Yourself with Camera Tips and Tricks
Here’s 3 reasons to video yourself, plus a video full of Camera Tips and Tricks to help you ease in, and do it. https://youtu.be/EenkXsL4ZMc
Getting on camera can be hard at first, but like anything: with practice, it gets more familiar, more comfortable, and yes…EASIER!!!
3 Reasons why you should video yourself:
1.) See your progress over time. When you can’t see instant gratification in the moment, these are snapshots to document your improvement.
2.) See what you can improve on. Don’t let your inner critic have a party, at the expense of your psyche. There are always things we can realistically notice and tweak ever so slightly to see the changes we want.
3.) Catch yourself doing RIGHT a.k.a Cool Things you didn’t even know you were doing, before you got to capture some of your own personal magic.
