Day 2: The Comparison Trap

She got the correction you wanted. She has the extension you've been working on for years. She seems to pick everything up faster, easier, better — and suddenly you're not in class anymore, you're in your head, measuring every part of yourself against someone else and coming up short every single time.

Welcome to the comparison trap. And today we are getting out of it.

In this episode we talk about why comparison is one of the most destructive habits in the dance world, why your brain is wired to do it and how to interrupt the pattern, and what happens to your dancing — and your joy — when you finally make your own journey the only one you're focused on. Your path is not her path. And that is not a weakness. That is your greatest advantage.
