Look to the reasons why you started bboying in the first place... bring back that "flare" you had when you first started; you know, the excitement and energy you would get before every session.

Reminisce on what you have done before... find yourself.

It's hard to regain your motivation. If what motivated you before doesn't work now, find something else that would... don't you want to beat those guys that defeated you in the battle?!?!?!?!?!

Most battles are that of a friendly nature as well; sure you might lose and feel bad, but in the end it's all about having a good time, busting out some mad shit, and learning from it all.

Take a minute for yourself, think things over; and do things that get you in the mood for b-boyin. Listen to beats, strechin, watchin vids. Then go out there and do your thing.

you wont win all your battles, theres always someone thats better than you, which pisses me off, but there always is. If you' had 100 battles and havent lost one, than damn that's pretty good, but that usually doesnt happen, so just keep your head up.

find some dope vids and some dope songs and force yourself to dance. It might also help if you focused on a different part of the dance. For example, if you did alot of threads and stuff you could focus more on power...it can make you see a different part of the dance, and if your one of those people who trys to focus on all aspects then you could try focusing on one aspect more than all the others. It gives you motivation when you know you elevate constantly in that part...
