If You Hate Looking At Yourself In The Mirror This Is For You | Ep 86
from More Than Dance · host Krissy Phillipino
The mirror in dance class can bring up a lot. Sometimes we look at our reflection and the first thought is, “I hate how I look.” The mirror stops being a tool and starts feeling like a judge.In this episode, we talk about changing your relationship with the mirror.Longevity in dance is a goal, and part of that longevity is learning how to exist in your body with more comfort and curiosity, not constant criticism. Dance gives us a vehicle to explore that.Sometimes the discomfort we feel isn’t actually about our bodies at all. It’s about unfamiliarity. Just like wearing clothes that don’t feel like “you” yet, seeing yourself move in new ways can feel strange simply because you haven’t embraced it yet.This episode is about building comfort over time and understanding that confidence doesn’t come from changing yourself, it comes from learning to accept where you are right now.We talk about:• using the mirror as feedback instead of judgment• building comfort levels gradually• why dance clothing or movement can feel unfamiliar at first• learning to see the mirror as information, not criticismThe mirror isn't there to question you or validate you ... its there as a tool to learn danceFollow:Krissy: @krissyphillipinoKDFSTUDIO: @kdfstudio
