The past few weeks I have been stressed preparing for my upcoming show (a few tickets are still available), making sure I made my deadlines at work and fulfilling other commitments. I took a moment to ask myself what did I use to do this past to help calm myself down and remembered I use to jump rope. Jumping rope takes my mind off situations and forces/reminds me to breath. If you don’t control your breathing jumping rope, you will pass out (speaking from experience lol) Mind you, I have not actively jumped rope in about 10 years so I am rusty lol. I sent this video to a friend of mine she replies with “wtf!?! You haven’t jumped rope in 10 years and that’s what you look like? Rusty you is a beast. I don’t even want to imagine what you look like at full force”. The story behind how I am semi good at jumping rope always makes me laugh when I think about it. 

Many years ago (2009 to 2012), I use to go to a boxing gym and had a boxing trainer. My trainer would tell me I needed to run for the warm up and I would refuse. I told him I only run 2 reasons- running from an animal or to a great sale. If you see me running, you probably should be running too. He replies with “okay, you don’t want to run; then you can jump this rope”. Joke was on me because jumping rope wore my ass out! 

Moral of the story: 1. find something/activity that can calm your mind down. 2. Muscle memory is real thing lol. 3. If you have not gotten your tickets for my show on Friday, go grab them before they are gone! It is going be a great show. Link is my bio
