Ep. 46: Your Invisible Deadlines & “Shoulds” Are Stunting Your Shuffle Growth
Your self-imposed "shoulds" as a dancer — AKA "I should be better by now," "I should have mastered this move faster", etc — are killing your joy and totally stunting your shuffle progress.
You think being hard on yourself makes you a better dancer, but all it does is create a pressure-cooker that your brain wants to escape. The initial feeling of dissatisfaction is normal, but how you handle it is everything.
Remember: Sally, Jimmy, and Jane are all on different timelines. Who are you comparing yourself to? The truth is, progress comes from fun, not pressure. It's time to stop turning your passion into pressure-filled homework. Because shuffle progress is 50% mindset, and if you’re stuck, that’s where the real work begins.
Ready to ditch the pressure and get your joy back? Here’s how I can help.
