About this episode
I often hear from dancers they say some pretty mean things to themselves they'd never say out loud or to a friend. For some reason, it's so easy for us to get caught in negative spirals where we berate ourselves for a mistake or convince ourselves we're not good enough, and sometimes that little voice is not always so encouraging, and telling yourself, "I've got this," and basically talking yourself into a good mood doesn't always work. Sometimes it feels disingenuous or fake, and you don't believe yourself. So what do you do when positive self-talk or saying those positive affirmations feels fake? In today's episode we'll break down the three types of self-talk, focusing on instructional self-talk, and I'll share about the impact of developing cues that speak to you, practicing regularly, and keeping it simple. Tune in to learn why speaking positively to yourself doesn't always work and what to do instead!
