I changed my profile picture to make it stare myself in my face, and remind me of a goal I'm working towards. To find the love and joy in my dance work again, instead of feeling so negative about myself and my capabilities, as I've been pushing through while battling limiting health issues. It's painful to feel so much self-doubt and hate after rehearsals. And physically painful too lol. But, I started dancing when I was 3, and it's such a big part of my identity. If I can learn to accept myself as I am now in it, and find that joy again, it could make a big impact. I'm already feeling the anxiety now, as I need to get ready to leave for rehearsal.
At the same time, I feel very embarrassed about it. I almost immediately changed it. But, this is for me. My constant reminder of the work that I need to do to remember how to enjoy instead of endure.
