If you came to me and told me that everyone else is making faster progress in Pole Dance than you are, I’d start by asking you one question:

Is that actually true? 👀

Or are you comparing your own progress to what you see other people doing on Instagram or in class?

You see which tricks they can already do. But you don’t necessarily see how long they’ve been training, what experience they bring with them or what they might still be struggling with themselves.

And even if someone really is making faster progress than you, what does that actually mean for your own journey?

You don’t have to be the fastest to be proud of yourself. 🫶

And one more question: Would you talk to your best friend the way you sometimes talk to yourself?

Would you tell her she’s bad at Pole Dance because she can’t do a certain trick yet? Or would you remind her of how much she’s already learned?

Try to show yourself the same patience and kindness.

Your Pole Dance progress doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. You’re allowed to learn at your own pace. ❤️
