Boosting Your Career: Cognitive Distortions & Creating A Growth Mindset
Cognitive distortions are habitual ways of thinking that are often inaccurate and negatively biased. In other words, they are stories we tell ourselves that are often inaccurate. As performers, we face pressure from teachers, peers and the industry to perform at high levels while maintaining a certain image, and flawless technique. Over time, these demands often leave us with unhealthy thought patterns that end up hurting our careers in the long run.
Why Dancers Require Personalised Nutrition
Personalised nutrition is a targeted approach to an individual’s nutritional needs, based on their genetics, health history, lifestyle, gender, age, and many other factors that may affect an individual. As dancers, we are under constant pressure from choreographers, teachers, peers and casting directors to maintain an “ideal” body weight, perform our best, and maintain energy levels.
