I go to the gym to hoop almost everyday on my lunch break. Today this sweet older lady walks by then comes back when she sees me hooping. She goes straight for my stack of hoops . I smile at her letting her know it's perfectly cool. She's having a hard time at waiste hooping so I step in give her some tips and tricks and cheer her on. Another lady which im assuming is her friend joins I pass her a hoop. Then 3 more ladies see what's going on and I hand them my last 3 hoops. Next thing you know im giving a mini 20 min hoop course to 5 ladies who seemed to be having such a wonderful time. It ended because they realized they were now late to a yoga class they were all headed to. I just feel so good about it because of how much fun they told me they had and that they would join my hoop class. I told them the only thing holding me back was that I felt like I was socially awkward . One of the ladies reassured me I wasn't socially awkward at all and that I should just go for it and that she's looking forward to hearing about my class. They even gave me their information so I can follow up with them whenever it got set into place. You guys ..... this made me feel SO good. It was definitely a confidence booster. I just need to relax and stop self doubting myself.
