Stephanie Bendixsen Instagram - I think the older you get the harder it becomes to move out of your comfort zone. But I spent the last week with a group of women from every corner of the world (none of us having ever met before) on this pole camp, and it reminded me that you can put yourself out there and come away a little bolder for it.

I destroyed my fave dance boots (and my ribs, AGAIN 💀) but it was worth it to learn from dance teachers I've admired even if it was WAY above my ability level.

I've spent a lot of my life just internally negging myself into oblivion - I'd just like to not do that for a bit. Next year I really want to focus on getting strong, prioritising creative ideas in my work, and having a proper daily routine. An unfocused chaos of my own making is my biggest barrier atm.

Stephanie Bendixsen Instagram - Some nice shapes I made in freestyle yesterday.

This is going to sound a bit pathetic but I almost had a bit of a cry finally being back at dance. My foot still hurts, I can't turn on it properly or lean my weight through it - but it's getting better. Just the feeling of freedom, the movement, the the strength - I'd missed it so much. And the Flow routine @lolaograce is teaching us this term is heaven.

I know a lot of people don't quite understand the shoes, but it's about the shillouette and the lines, you know? I was dancing to Deftones.

Stephanie Bendixsen Instagram - Thinking about moving. So hard to leave - but the isolation has been tough. I love the mountains. The beauty, the affordability, the space, the air, the winter log fires, the beautiful European autumn leaves at the turn of the season. All things to be missed.

But as an introvert who works from home - I think it's also been a little damaging to be so cut-off from the world, because I'm so comfortable living my life online. I can plug myself into the matrix and be content to never see the sun. If it wasn't for dance - I think I would have fused to my chair and let my mind disconnect entirely. If you're anything like me you'll know exactly what I'm talking about - and how intoxicating that can be.

It will mean some lifestyle changes... I think also the older we get, the more terrified we become of discomfort. We fall more heavily into routines and patterns. Eat the same things, choose the same activities, keep the same habits. Even moreso if you're neurodivergent in any way. And when we're unhappy - we take pleasure in the small comforts afforded in the familiar.

But even though moving is such a lothesome task (modern life comes with so much stuff) ...maybe we're not meant to be in one place all the time?

Stephanie Bendixsen Instagram - On my first attempt at exotic flow class (exactly a year ago) - I gave up half way through the term. I found the choreography complex and difficult to manoeuvre my body around, I felt clumsy and defeated and told myself I wasn't good enough. But... I adored the movement style so much, I decided to just throw myself back into it and try again.
It wasn't any easier. 😂 BUT... by the end of that term (and with a lot of practice), I felt the TINIEST bit more confident.
And then with each term that followed - patterns and shapes started to make their way into my brain, and my body got stronger... and with each new routine I started to see noticeable improvement.

I think so often we abandon creative pursuits early in the learning of them, because when we see ourselves as 'not great' at something - we become convinced that we don't have the natural talent, or the 'right' body, or we've started too late in life. But anyone who is good at anything - simply took the time required to get better. I'm far from where I want to be, but I'm so enjoying the process of seeing myself improve, while losing myself in the simple joy and challenge of movement.

Caption : I think the older you get the harder it becomes to move out of your comfort zone. But I spent the last week with a group of women from every corner of the world (none of us having ever met before) on this pole camp, and it reminded me that you can put yourself out there and come away a little bolder for it. I destroyed my fave dance boots (and my ribs, AGAIN 💀) but it was worth it to learn from dance teachers I’ve admired even if it was WAY above my ability level. I’ve spent a lot of my life just internally negging myself into oblivion – I’d just like to not do that for a bit. Next year I really want to focus on getting strong, prioritising creative ideas in my work, and having a proper daily routine. An unfocused chaos of my own making is my biggest barrier atm.

Stephanie Bendixsen - 7K Likes - Some nice shapes I made in freestyle yesterday.

This is going to sound a bit pathetic but I almost had a bit of a cry finally being back at dance. My foot still hurts, I can't turn on it properly or lean my weight through it - but it's getting better. Just the feeling of freedom, the movement, the the strength - I'd missed it so much. And the Flow routine @lolaograce is teaching us this term is heaven.

Stephanie Bendixsen - 4.4K Likes - Thinking about moving. So hard to leave - but the isolation has been tough. I love the mountains. The beauty, the affordability, the space, the air, the winter log fires, the beautiful European autumn leaves at the turn of the season. All things to be missed.

But as an introvert who works from home - I think it's also been a little damaging to be so cut-off from the world, because I'm so comfortable living my life online. I can plug myself into the matrix and be content to never see the sun. If it wasn't for dance - I think I would have fused to my chair and let my mind disconnect entirely. If you're anything like me you'll know exactly what I'm talking about - and how intoxicating that can be.

It will mean some lifestyle changes... I think also the older we get, the more terrified we become of discomfort. We fall more heavily into routines and patterns. Eat the same things, choose the same activities, keep the same habits. Even moreso if you're neurodivergent in any way. And when we're unhappy - we take pleasure in the small comforts afforded in the familiar.

But even though moving is such a lothesome task (modern life comes with so much stuff) ...maybe we're not meant to be in one place all the time?

Stephanie Bendixsen - 3.2K Likes - On my first attempt at exotic flow class (exactly a year ago) - I gave up half way through the term. I found the choreography complex and difficult to manoeuvre my body around, I felt clumsy and defeated and told myself I wasn't good enough. But... I adored the movement style so much, I decided to just throw myself back into it and try again.
It wasn't any easier. 😂 BUT... by the end of that term (and with a lot of practice), I felt the TINIEST bit more confident.
And then with each term that followed - patterns and shapes started to make their way into my brain, and my body got stronger... and with each new routine I started to see noticeable improvement.

I think so often we abandon creative pursuits early in the learning of them, because when we see ourselves as 'not great' at something - we become convinced that we don't have the natural talent, or the 'right' body, or we've started too late in life. But anyone who is good at anything - simply took the time required to get better. I'm far from where I want to be, but I'm so enjoying the process of seeing myself improve, while losing myself in the simple joy and challenge of movement.
