ARE YOU STUCK IN YOUR LIFE?

It is common for dancers to second guess themselves and wonder if they are on the right path.

Has this ever happened to you? Do you know what the real meaning and purpose of your life is? Have you set goals and failed to achieve them?

If you do feel stuck, you are not alone. It is a common feeling that a lot of people, especially creatives, experience. Fortunately, you have already taken the first step towards addressing and overcoming these feelings by looking for help.

Here is an example:

A dancer has set the goal of increasing their flexibility because they think it will be more aesthetically pleasing to both themselves and choreographers. However, this isn’t a strong enough reason to keep them motivated. They might attempt to work towards that goal, but since the goal doesn’t have a specific timeframe or outcome, it often slips the dancers mind and they don’t make the effort to stretch every day.

Say you are the dancer in this scenario and you are looking to increase your flexibility. Remember you want to know WHY you want to be more flexible. Perhaps a more realistic rationale for wanting increased flexibility is that you want the ability to do certain steps with more fluidity, and decrease your risk of injury. These are measurable and realistic reasons for stretching every day and paying more attention to your flexibility, meaning you will be more likely to remain committed to your goal.
