Ballroom State of Mind

126. Motivation Killers


Listen Later

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!

By way of announcement, we are steadily adding podcast episodes to YouTube on my YT channel, ⁠Amber Haider Coaching⁠. Go check it out and share with your fellow ballroom, salsa, country, and other partner dance friends!
