- Consider your situation
Look where you stand right now. If you are just beginning with dancing you obviously won’t start with perfect pointe routines. If you came just back from a break, expect to be slowed down a bit. If you’re not naturally flexible, don’t compare your accomplishments with crazy flexible dancers. If you don’t look at yourself individually, you tend to get disappointed quickly.
-Remember what it felt like to get sth
Everytime you struggle to motivate yourself, remember your last accomplishment and what it felt like. Amazing, right? And you want to get this again, right?
-Set realisic goals
Always look for something new you want to get. Stay realistic but don’t make it too easy. Be specific! Don’t just say: I want to get bettee oversplits, say: I want to get oversplits with this two books under my foot. And set your time!! Don’t just say: I want my bad leg splits, say: I want my bad leg splits until the end of summer or til competition season.
-Be proud
Celebrate every progress! Take pictures to watch yourself get better amd better
