I know many people who have tremendous faith in the positive affirmations. One of the reasons given is the "law of attraction", something that I feel a cordial disdain. No However, the positive affirmations I think they can play an important role in the work of the dancer. Notes
are you thinking when you're in class, or when you think about dance. Are ideas positive or negative? Are projects, memories, or focus on this?
phrases like "this is not going to go" and "should try more often" and all variants of "evil" become the standard way of thinking about what we do. Women also have a complicated problem with security in ourselves and we spend our lives maintaining a façade of modesty that class turns against us, I've seen lots of women in class constantly criticized in a competition to be important but in reverse. I find this very destructive.
Okay, so what do we do? These are my ideas about changing the interior monologue for something more constructive.
1. The statement must be true. Your inner monologue is not a fantasy. "I am a princess of the Desert" will not work. "The public wants me," yes.
2. The statement should refer to this or what does not change. "I'll try more" does not work. "I love to rehearse," yes.
3. Must be made not to include positive words you do not like. The problem is what you put after "no." "I'm not getting hurt" makes you think about injuries. "The movement well made me strong and flexible" take away from head injuries.
4 should be short.
I hope that these ideas are useful when you are rehearsing or about to go on stage!
