Lessons Learned: The Only Muscle That Works Harder Than My Heart

BitchNichole reached for a book yesterday and had to stop herself shortly after opening it. She looked down to find her hands in an all too familiar position. She was in interp stance.

How had this happened? The diva hasn't competed in over two years, however this stance is so deeply embedded in her subconscious that she can't even pick up a book without getting ready to put on a show.

Looking back she noticed that she's been waking at 5 AM the last few mornings with a sinking feeling in her stomach. She finally realized that she has been experiencing the Post-AFA Blues! You know that feeling right after the season has ended when you wake up every morning thinking of the things you should have done better because you don't have the crutch of competition to assure you of your self-worth.

Does anyone else get these blues?
