Sunday Expectation


Sunday Expectation

On this Thanksgiving holiday weekend, think about extending thankfulness throughout the year. It isn’t always easy to do, but the attempt produces good things. It is often our expectations that cause unhappiness, so replace some of those expectations with appreciation.

This is a shift of perception, and an important one. Dancers in particular are such perfectionists, and we have high expectations of ourselves and others. That’s okay in moderation. But when these expectations grow too big and get in the way, shift them around. Focus on appreciation.

It is the same idea I’ve blogged about before. Don’t forget to look around with appreciative eyes. See everything in a new light – you might be surprised by how much has been ignored or overlooked.
Exchange some of those expectations for appreciation.

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:

Motivational Secret #93:  
“Replace expectation with appreciation.”
