Visualisation

Hi readers,

Welcome to my second entry for the self-improvement blog series.

Visualisation, it's practising with your mind and it is as powerful as learning by rote. This technique is not just for when you're too tired to dance, it's a practice that you should regularly practise.

Visualisation can be better than physically practising. Firstly, you can allow yourself to imagine your perfect performance. You have no risk of practising mistakes which can be hard to correct. Secondly, when you've exhausted your body from physically learning an exercise visualisation still counts as practising. Finally, you can do it anywhere, you just need your mind, no dance floor required.

Vision boards are also another way you can collect ideas and inspiration. Make a collage of what you want to achieve (and it doesn't even have to be related to physie). Stick it somewhere that you can see everyday and keep working towards your goals.

If you're aiming to compete in the near future why not imagine yourself in the process from doing your hair, pinning your number and walking out onto the dance floor to have completed the routines and maybe even getting your number called out. To conclude, visualisation is a great technique of the mind that doesn't even require you to move to be practising so go and do it.
