So, this week I've decided to take part in the great link up run by some of my amazing #sweatpink sisters at You Signed Up For What? Eat, Pray, Run DC and Marontherun.
Since Friday is a pole blog day, and this Friday is Good Friday I've decided to focus on the amazing things that my journey and progression through pole has given me to aid me in the resurrection of my SELF. Since Easter focuses on the idea of rebirth and resurrection, I seem to have timed my jaunt into exploring my past just at the right time. The revelations and unveiling of the past few days has given me an insight into all of the possibilities the future holds in store for me, as though in a new life.
In order to look forward, sometimes it's handy to look back to see what we can learn...In turn, I've decided to look back over the year where I introduced a "hobby" that has taken on a life of it's own to look at 5 good things that have come from it!
So, here we go - five GOOD things that pole-ing has given me!
1. A sneak peek at my abs. I SWEAR they're under there....I even saw them a little bit in some of my progress photos this week. How exciting is that?!

2. Hours of conversation. Well. When I say conversation, it's not always two way.... ;) just kidding. A lot of people want to talk about pole, their experiences and opinions, they want to know what it's like, why I do it, whether they should do it. It's an excellent topic of conversation!
3. A HULK mode. Seriously. Sometimes you think you're just not EVER going to be able to do something and then something in your brain just thinks - you know what? F*ck it, I'm doing it. HULK MODE ENGAGED. Plus, I have some seriously HULK shoulders developing....
Woah, where did THEY come from!?
4. Confidence. I've always been able to play confident, but this stuff is real. When you know what your body is capable of, when you know you can MAKE IT progress week on week to do things you could never imagine, to hold your own weight, to invert your own weight, to hold your own weight out at ALL sorts of angles you start knowing that actually, this body is a thing to be reckoned with. Now who could sit in that body and not appreciate how amazing it is? Furthermore, how could you not start to believe that actually - you are worth the effort, that you do deserve good things, that you CAN talk to whoever - however many people that may be, because you've already broken that psychological barrier telling you you can't do something.
5. A passion. If you're a regular reader, you know I have the attention span of an autumnal leaf...
oh look, sparkly lights...
Did you see that cat? He was doing the funniest things.
Wait, hang on.... ;) But seriously. I have a very short attention span. That applies to every part of my life. Especially my workouts. Weightlifting has been the only thing to contend with pole, and I have even had breaks from that - but never, ever from pole. Pole has lit a passion in me. It's shown me what I'm capable of. It's shown me what I can work for. It's shown me that there are awesome communities out there. It's shown me that everything I do can feed into an end goal, that our lives are a composite of the actions we undertake. It's shown me how to escape. In my eyes, there is no greater gift.
