Ep. 126 Motivation Killers

After pushing forward from Newcomer to Open American Rhythm in 5 years, I have been feeling the fatigue. Am I tired? Burned out? Unmotivated? Being burned out is just one of many reasons you might find yourself unmotivated.

In this episode, we provide 8 common reasons amateur and pro/am ballroom dancers, or any dancers for that matter, might find it hard to be motivated:

-Comparison

-Perfectionism

-Unclear or unrealistic expectations

-Lack of visible progress

-Negative self-talk

-Over-reliance on external validation

-Burnout

-Fear of failure or fear of being judged

Can you see yourself in any of them?? Listen in to get some help!
