My last post was super uplifting, I know. I was trying to think of something more fun to blog about afterwards, but my mood hasn't been helping.
I'm feeling less depressed than I was, but still not great and now I'm super unmotivated. I've been really good about doing my PT since I started in December, but the last couple of weeks (since my leg/ankle flared up again) I've kind of been thinking to myself, "WHY am I torturing myself by doing all these things everyday when its doing NOTHING?" That's not exactly a great frame of mind to be in.
Anyway, I spotted this article from Pointe magazine on Facebook today: Got Goals? Here's How to Effectively Reach Them.
It got me thinking, because I have given myself a fairly long-term goal and part of the reason I'm so frustrated is because I feel like the ankle is putting me behind schedule to reach said goal.
To TL:DR the Pointe article, its better to set realistic short term goals than very specific long term ones. So, I'm going to do that. Hopefully these aren't too unrealistic.
I guess we'll see?

- To be able to do turns on the bad ankle again by December (3 months).
- To increase my ankle flexibility by a couple of degrees by December (3 months).
- To get on pointe again by the time I go to the artÉmotion Adult Ballet Summer Intensive next summer (assuming I have the money to do so, ha!)
I guess we'll see?
