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.
