4 Simply Excellent Hoop/Dance/aka Life Tricks
“You want me to move WHAT…While…Hooping??!”
Some things in hooping, dance & life…are just a mental hurdle. Hip The Hoopla offers 4 positive easy tips here to help in whatever you are trying to get through. Remember, hooping is just a metaphor for life. In-Joy!
1.) Visualize.
Most people grab the hoop and go. Sometimes when you take a few minutes to visualize yourself doing a particular thing beautifully, your body will actually engage successfully, much more quickly. FYI: the brain drops the same chemicals in the body, whether you are visualizing OR physically doing the activity.
2.) Set your hoop down.
Yep. Simplify it down to one basic activity. Just get the movement you are trying to achieve…WITHOUT your hoop. It may seem like you are underachieving at your over-achiever “I can do this faster” status, but give it a try, and watch your results miraculously improve.

Heck, you couldn’t even turn over on your belly, or walk on your own. After some hand-holding and probably bumping into a few table corners with your head, and falling down, you sorta got to walking. And just a few years later… look at you now!
