Sunday Contagion




Sunday Contagion
Dancers tend to be complainers.  I don’t know if it is because we are always tired, always working toward a perfection that is by its very nature unobtainable; or because we are often nursing some kind of injury.  Whatever the reason, complaining seems to be endemic in the population.
Now, it can be good – once in a while – to vent, but generally a positive attitude is the best approach.  Happiness is contagious!  Try spreading it, even if you don’t really feel like it.  You’ll soon see how highly contagious happiness is.
Try starting with a simple smile.  Smile (sincerely) at someone and watch what happens.  Remember that everyone has burdens to carry and the smile you give them might be just enough to lighten their load.  You might even get a smile back, and then you too will be “infected”! 

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:

Motivational Secret #23
