Positivity
More research shows
that being positive is key to succeeding and keeping motivated, and is the base the building up or maintaining a good emotional
well-being. It is the fundamental emotion to be able to kick start other good
moods and an effective mindset.
*Another advantage- linked to the
health of your immune system, which will either make you feel good or not.
Happiness and contentment aid in maintaining a strong immune system. However
negative emotions contribute to a weaker immune system, higher stress levels
with the production of cortisol, and therefore not feeling so good. Thus
weakening the opportunity to strengthen or maintain emotional health. If you can learn to cope better with stress so as
to avoid becoming depressed, and to lessen the time you spend feeling negative
you can have a positive impact on your emotional and physical health.
In dancing I find it helps so much to feel happy and positive,
because automatically you will dance better, improve and progress, reach closer
to your goals and thus feel better overall!
Able to think clearer, and faster, pick up steps, are more bodily aware too. Are able to make better decisions movement-wise and on how to approach them and/or practicing, rehearsing or improving.

Positive emotions benefit your
social health, which can be important for the overall well-being of anyone. As a dancer, I would think it to be important too:
Having sound relationships help
with self-esteem, They keep you from feeling lonely. They support you when you are down.One of the hardest challenges I found during my injury was finding
some sort of support towards the direction I was undertaking. It was hard
enough getting back from an injury, but in a new environment, whilst
auditioning for the company, with expectations and maybe not a full mutual
understanding from what I was going through at the time. I was lucky to have
some background support from my physio, and parents all the way overseas. But
when dancing, I didn’t have that physical support, and guidance throughout,
where I had to do everything on my own and discover for myself. Luckily I did
pull through and was strong enough to continue on.
(mention Boston Ballet programme- support system classes!)
Growing in emotional resilience requires that you
work towards greater self-knowledge
Learn to identify how you react to
a stressful situation, or a challenge. The awareness of your reaction helps
with controlling it in the right manner.
