You don’t have to be great to start
You don’t have to be great to start. …thank goodness for that 😅
Honestly? This jump rope challenge has been extremely humbling—in the best way.
- ❌ Day 1: I tripped after 5 skips.
- ❌ Day 2: Introduced Single-leg hops. Nearly face-planted. 8 times in a row. 😅 -📈 Day 3: Made it to skip 57. -✅ Day 4: Hit 100 jumping skips in a row! 🤯
The secret?
- 🙅♀️ I stopped saying “I’m bad at jump rope” and beating myself up
- ➡️ And started saying “I’m not good at jump rope… YET.”
✨ That one little word - “YET” - is powerful, and it changes everything. ✨
When we drop the judgment and choose curiosity, something powerful happens. We allow ourselves to be beginners. We make space for progress. We start stacking evidence that we can improve.
Because the truth is: If you’re not failing at something, you’re probably not growing.
So get curious. Stop judging yourself. You’re a beginner! You don’t have to be great to start. But I can guarantee - you do HAVE to start if you ever want a chance of getting better!
- Wobble like a baby giraffe 🦒 (IYKYK)
- Laugh when you trip. Let it be messy and awkward.
- Celebrate the skip that goes right. 🎉
- Be brave enough to try something new!
If you’re stuck in “I’m not good enough,” try replacing that thought with “I’m not great at this yet.”
And when you’re ready to level up with a program and a coach who meets you right where you are? I’ve got you 💪
