Have you ever felt like no matter how hard you try to think positively, you STILL compare yourself to others, feel like you're not good enough, hold back when you dance, or feel affected by fear and anxiety? Well, there is a reason for that and it is almost never talked about in dance! That's why today's podcast explains how mental blocks actually work and why positive thinking doesn't always work to resolve them.
