Missing the good old habits: a breakdance story
How important is to value your good habits
I have been practicing breakdance for more than 12 years, and for the first time in my life, I have made a long break.
Dancing has always been my scape valve. My balance stone. Also a great way of connecting with people as well.
Its been a year and I miss it. Now I realize how easy is to overlook our good habits. My biggest mistake is taking them for granted. Habits are like anything else, you must take care of them.
No excuses
Its been a tough year, so what? No excuses. Yes I had to reinvent myself professionally, learn tons of new stuff related to web development. In combination with some additional personal issues I had the perfect combo for becoming obsessed with some specific goals and forgetting about everything else.
Never again
Having a poor social and health balance is not a choice kids. It is just not worth it. Our body is our temple, and even if we hate people sometimes, we still need them. Happy 2018.

Impressive, man! I like your idea of taking care of habits. My cornerstone is Tai Chi, similar to breakdance in refining movement for movement's sake and for balance and skill. It seems like an interesting contrast... Tai Chi could be described as an internal exercise or meditation, while breakdance in how you describe it seems to connect you with others externally. Outside of caring for the habit, what about dancing specifically motivates you?
Dude that question is so spot on. I have long meditated on that same question. Once, I came to the conclusion that often I do train and improve my moves in order to make them more beautiful externally (to the observer).
Then I realized I didnt want it to be focused externally only; it felt wrong. The desire should be to also to enjoy the move from an internal perspective.
What I mean is, I want to enjoy the sensations, I want to feel my body and experiment the fly of my body.
At the end of the day, whatever dance you dance: "dance to express, not to impress"
If you love what you do, you don't need or make excuses. Forcing yourself to do something will only be temporary. Dedication is temporary. People that are "dedicated" actually enjoy what they are doing so its no problem. Great post, keep it up @muscleroast.com
lol I couldnt agree more!
Wah that's badass brother, the skills required by a breakdancer is needless to say admirable 🙏🏼
Actually did a little bit of breakdance myself for 2 years when I was young, only remember the basic moves but I do believe much of my acrobatic and movements skills are a product of those early years of breakdance.
Crush it in 2018 brother👊🏼

I went to my first breakdance competition last year - my friend was competing and he won for the UK! I had a great time - it's so important to folow your passion, look forward to more of your posts
Yes I ve always been pretty stuborn about my passions. Probably the only positive stubbornness one can have. Btw ive been checking ur posts, you sound like a ENTP woman. Do you know myer briggs personality system?
I checked it out yesterday but apparently I am INFP! Reading through it makes sense but I have to be honest I think at a different point in my life I would have answered the questions differently. Glad you are positively stubborn! :D
