To Dance Or Not To Dance?!?!?

Question

To Dance Or Not To Dance?!?!?
Okay this year I will be taking strickly AP and Honors courses in school, each of my teachers has assured us that we will have several hours of homework each night. On top of that I have bone contusions in my ankle which cause me great pain while dancing. The only solution to the contusions is to stop dancing. My mother wants me to dance and keeps pushing me to do so. I love dance and I want to continue, but I am worried about my own physical and mental health. I think that dancing and my school classes will be far to stressful and I am worried that I will permanately damage my ankle. So what do you guys think I should do?

Answer

No one knows your body better than you do. If you feel that you might permanately damage your ankle by continuing to dance, then stop.brbrTo me it sounds as if you might just possibly already have your mind made up. You sound really worried about school, and dancing, and it just doesnt seem that you really want to do the dancing anymore.

Tips for not being so nervous?

Question

Tips for not being so nervous?
So I am in a conducting class and we have to conduct in front of the class for like measures and I get sooooo nervous, my whole body shakes, especially my hands and my heart beats so fast! Its like I cant control it and i dont know how to stop it. I memorize the measures and can do them perfectly so its not about doing well at all. Some people say to imagine silly things about the people in front of you but its just not that easy.... please help!

Answer

I must say, I understand completely how you feel! There is nothing more frustrating than having to perform something you know you have worked hard to master in front of an audience, while your body visibly shows signs of nervousness like your uncontrollable shaking. I wish there was an easy answer for you! While it is frustrating and it may feel like it is something that might stifle your talent and abilities when it comes to conducting, the visible signs of nervousness can be overcome and controlled. However, it is going to take a great deal of experimenting, exploring and and keeping an open mind.brbrThere are several methods for you to cope with your performance anxiety and if you Goggle quothow to deal with performance anxietyquot or strategies to deal with nervousness in stage performance andor public speakingquot you will find countless examples. The best way for you to discover which method is most appropriate for you, is simply to experiment with each one of them, starting with the one you feel is something you can do with ease, that will not distract you from your well rehearsed material and conducting.brbrAlso, do you have a mentor in music, perhaps a teacher or fellow student that has experienced anxiety when performing? Please, do not be afraid to mention your anxiety to anyone you trust, in fact, you will probably be surprised at how many people have and still do deal with performance anxiety issues. They can be extremely valuable resources just by sharing some of their own experiences andor methods that have helped them to cope with performance anxiety.brbrNot that this even appears to be an issue for you, but there are some people who suffer from GAD General Anxiety Disorder. GAD is basically an anxiety disorder that causes a person to experience more severe physical and mental reactions to anxiety i.e. trembling, rapid heart rate, dry mouth, dizziness, etc. If you find that you are experiencing increased anxiety outside of your performance anxiety, then you may want to talk with your parents about it so that they can provide you with the appropriate resources before it becomes something that interferes with not only your conducting but with other areas of your life.brbrI am hopeful that you will find a way to help you cope with the normal performance anxiety you are experiencing. Again, I know firsthand how difficult it is to work so hard at perfecting your performance and having to worry about how your body is going to act during that performance. Good luck to you!

Are you happy with your insignificance in this Universe?

Question

Are you happy with your insignificance in this Universe?
Thanks for your significant opinion.

Answer

insignificance is relative. Perhaps on a universal scale we are all insignificant, but to my family, to my employers, to my friends, to my debtors, I am significant. If you watch an ant hill with thousands of ants, each of them going along their merry way, stomp on or of them, and the rest just continue on their merry way. Your significance is to YOU. Not the universe, If someone stomped on you, your significance would end. Even for your friends and family, the grieving and memories is all that is left of you. Insignificant, life goes on. YOUR life is what YOU make of it. The universe could care less if you are rich or poor, helpful or destructive, benevolent or psycho. If you are trying to be universally significant, you just might have set your sights a little too high.I personally enjoy being helpful and friendly to others, which for a time makes me significant to them, but in the end, the only significance is to myself. When I die, life goes on. Even fame will only preserve the memory of you, your significance ends when you die. Invent something that the generations will use long after you are gone, it is significant to them, not you. And someone else would have invented it sooner or later. You will answer for your life, even if it is just to yourself. Write a song or poem, or save a nation. When you are gone, it will be remembered, but insignificant to you. And only significant to others if they choose it to be. If you stop someone from dying, or perhaps the world from being destroyed, for that moment you are significant to them, but the moment ends. Being happy with who you are is all there is, without that you arent even significant to yourself.

Are you afraid of dying? Why or why not?

Question

Are you afraid of dying? Why or why not?
Those last few moments before I fall asleep, it dawns on me how someday, I am going to die. There really is no way out. For me, I feel trapped. I am a Roman Catholic, however, I have those times where I question myself and say, how can that be true? you know?

Answer

Yeah, it sucks. The feeling of not existing ever again like you were never here, nothing but a small fragment in history where you most likely didnt make a bit of difference no ones going to remember you. The thought of wondering if there is life after death, believing in God but doubting it because you know in the back of your head this could be very well made up, then realizing if it is true could unfaithful thoughts jeopordize your chances of getting in heaven? Could you spend your next life in eternal Hell forever burning in fire? Yeah, Im sort of afraid of dying. But such is life.
