Sunday Enemy
Yes, it tends to be true:
dancers are often their own worst enemy.
Granted, we hear a litany of criticism every day, and positive
reinforcement comes infrequently or not at all.
So I guess it is not a surprise that dancers pick up the habit of
criticism and reflect it back on themselves.
But this is not a good thing. This thought pattern of negative self-talk
can truly be a bad enemy. Instead,
change that self-talk! Tell yourself
positive things, and focus on the good things that happen in class or in each
day. Embrace the compliments and encouragement
you do get, and don’t gloss over them.
Replace any negative thoughts immediately with positive ones.
It takes practice.
But we know all about that!
