Saturday Good Superstitions



Saturday Good Superstitions

According to this website:https://www.inc.com/entrepreneurs-organization/does-superstition-play-a-role-in-success.htmlSuperstitions might be considered irrational and unscientific, but research actually shows the opposite. Activating a superstition boosts participants' confidence in mastering upcoming tasks, which in turn improves performance.”

Aha! Proof that performers who have backstage rituals aren’t crazy after all. Anything that boosts confidence prior to a performance can’t be bad. It may be nothing more than the placebo effect, but placebos provide benefits too.

So keep kissing the floor, crossing yourself or doing sixteen changements before the curtain goes up. It might just give you the performance of your life.

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Superstition Secret #146:
“Research has shown that rituals can boost confidence.”

Quote of the Day:
“Eventually it became clear that our emotions, attitudes, and thoughts profoundly affect our bodies, sometimes to the degree of life or death. Soon mind-body effects were recognized to have positive as well as negative impacts on the body. This realization came largely from research on the placebo effect—the beneficial results of suggestion, expectation, and positive thinking.”
― Larry Dossey, Reinventing Medicine: Beyond Mind-Body to a New Era of Healing
