I’m linking up today for the Finish This… hosted by LISA (COASTLINED), JEN (The Arizona Russums), BECKY (The Java Mama) and NICOLE (Three 31). Basically, they provide the prompts and I have to finish the sentences. My first answers to these questions were pretty harsh on myself, so I went back and tried to answer with a little more positivity.
I feel stupid when I mess up teaching my Zumba class. Everyone messes up, but I feel like I’m the one they are paying me to teach so I should be perfect. When I forget what comes next, it drives me batty!
I hope I never forget to wear a bra 🙂
My one piece of advice to the world is to be yourself. I am happiest and feel the most confident when I am living up to my expectations instead of trying to live up to everyone else’s.
Thanks for reading!

I used to be a ZUMBA® instructor! I totally feel you on this one. It took me FOREVER not to say “oh sorry!!” every time I flubbed up…because I realized that they probably don’t realize what’s coming next so I tried to just go with it! HA! Then there was the time I totally drew a blank and just stopped. THAT wasn’t a good time. LOLLLLLLLL
It’s when I go completely blank that I feel SO bad. I’ve been doing it for 6 years so I feel like I shouldn’t be messing up but of course I still do!
Hey Elizabeth, thanks for joining the Finish This link up! I think it’s super-duper cool you’re Zumba instructor. FUN STUFF. I did Zumba a few times last year while I was pregnant …. I didn’t have rhythm them, and I don’t have it now. No worries if you mess up, just keep moving!!!!
That’s what my students keep telling me. I think we are all hardest on ourselves.
