Sunday Plus and Minus


Sunday Plus and Minus

Dancers are visual beings. So consider the minus sign – a simple slash on the page. Now take that sign and rotate it so it is perpendicular. Add another minus sign across the middle. Viola! A plus sign.

This symbolism is meant to remind you that minuses can be rearranged into pluses. Not all, of course, but it is good to try and reframe mentally those things that are initially thought of as negatives. This prevents ruminating on the bad and forgetting the good. And humans are good at negative ruminating.

So picture the transforming negative signs into a plus sign. It will keep your mind actively engaged on positive things

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Motivational Secret #172:
“Turn your negatives into a plus.”

Quote of the Day:
With every plus there must be a minus; with every tear there must be a smile; and for every skunk there must be a fragrant flower. We live our lives in fear of dying and we overlook the simple truth that living is all we can control. Never too high, never too low will get you stuck in the middle of the road. A sense of equilibrium is needed to see life as it is, not what you would like it to be.”
Phil Wohl, BlueBalance
