Sunday Calm


Sunday Calm

On Pinterest and many other sites, I have been noticing a variety of memes that say something similar to:  “Stay calm and carry on”; or “Stay calm and ___________.”.

This is an important idea.  So often if we allow our anchor of calmness to erode, anger and frustration take its place.  The dance world is filled with high competition, negative comments or atmospheres and a whole litany of things that can make a calm attitude take flight and never return.

I have blogged before about ways to keep your head when everyone around you is losing theirs – see previous Sunday blogs.  But a simple thing is to remember the word “calm”.  It even sounds relaxing.  Caaaallllmmmmm.

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:

Motivational Secret #38:  
“Stay calm.”

“Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset.
