How to Have Fun While Reaching Your Pro Cheer Goals
The road to pro cheerleading auditions can sometimes be daunting and frustrating.
You’ll have to take care of your skin, your body, and even your hair. You’ll have to work out to achieve the physique that you need. You have to eat balanced healthy meals. You’ll need to attend dance classes and practice to perfect your routine.
It sounds like a lot of work, and it really is! But when we focus too much on achieving our goals, it takes the fun out of the journey.
Do you know what they say, “Time flies when you’re having fun”? It is true. Because when you’re having fun along the journey, time seems to be faster and before you know it, auditions are up.
How do you do it?
1. Do a vision board
I don’t know about you, but creating a vision board is a great and fun way to visualize your goals. Repeat after me: Law of Attraction. There’s some sort of positive energy and attraction that comes with it. Activate this. Get creative. Keep your eyes on it. Tap out whatever negativities are in your head and believe that you will one day achieve that pro cheerleading goal. When you’re losing sight of your goal, be sure to come back to your board and keep the inspiration flowing. Add to the board, if you must.
2. Find joy
You didn’t just decide to do pro cheerleading for the heck of it. It entails time and hard work and a big serving of passion. Always find the same happiness you felt when you first decided to become a pro cheerleader and keep that fire burning.
3. Stay positive
The journey to your pro cheerleading goals is not without challenges. If you let yourself get dragged by every failure or mistake, it’s easy to become disheartened. Take these circumstances as an opportunity to learn and improve. Move forward with the new learnings, and know that every step you take is one step closer to your dream.
4. Get some support
No one gets through life alone and that includes you. Even in the gym, there’s a personal trainer who’s helping you reach your fitness goal. There’s an instructor who’s teaching you dance routines. There are girls from the class. They don’t even have to be into pro cheerleading too, but if they are, great! You can share tips with them. Having people around to support you makes the journey more fun and not to mention, easier. Be with people who can inspire you to persevere and help you become motivated.
5. Play the part.
It’s not just thinking about your goals. It’s about living it too. Add some confidence in yourself and show the world that you can achieve your pro cheerleading goals because you are doing your part towards it.
6. Set rewards...
Make mini-goals and set rewards for it, so you are more motivated to do them. Make sure these rewards are something that makes you feel excited about it.
7. ...and actually reward yourself
With all the hard work that you’re doing, sometimes you feel a bit hesitant to feel like you deserve something. Give yourself some love. After a rigorous dance practice or a tiring day at the gym, go to a spa. Get a massage. Reward yourself with much-needed rest and relaxation. Have a staycation even if it’s just overnight. Shop for a new gear or workout clothes or makeup. Visit your dermatologist for a facial. Eat something nice. Don’t hold back.
You can work hard, but don’t forget to add an element of fun too!
