There’s a thing I’m really guilty of as a prop spinner–discovering the tools to excel over time at a skill was something that was really important to me when I started my flow journey. But I also occasionally let that guide me to the point where I forget to have fun with the prop. I spin constantly because I’m constantly working on new content or ideas, but I found out early on in quarantine that having unstructured time to just play and flow out was also essential both to my mental health as well as to my relationship with my poi.
This is a lesson that I’ve had to learn and relearn many times over, so I thought I’d share it with all of you in case some of you need a reminder that it’s okay on occasion to put down your notebooks or drilling your latest challenge and instead to just spend an hour or two cutting loose and enjoying yourself with your flow!
